Why does everyone always skip over Illinois? The OUTRAGE of having Pritzker re-elected. The race was so close. You should see the map for Illinois. Covered in red. Not the city of Chicago. They ruin it for the rest of us. That trust fund, Shrek wannabe, toad of a human. Bad news for Illinois. How many executive orders has he used while in office? Some of the most of any governor to date? He has trashed the city of Chicago. Sinatra's town. He's rolling in his grave. I'd take Al Capone any day over Pritzker. He's at least a level headed Italian. Don't overlook Illinois. We are in the trenches.

20 years of my meaningless votes in the western suburbs of Illinois and we fled to the free state of Florida 2 years ago. My heart grieves for the people of Illinois- you deserve so much better! Yes - the entire state is red except for Chicago- they run the state like the CCP

It’s such a shame - upstate is so beautiful- one of my kids went to RIT and now lives and works in NYC. I fear for her safety daily.

It is beautiful, Veve. I have one of my five children left at home here outside Rochester, and today the sun is shining and the sky is blue and the leaves are gorgeous and I just want to cry. My son is a sophomore in high school and I really just want to get him to graduation without being forced to take that stupid shot! My husband and I grew up in the 70s so we can deal with less material comfort - it's not that - but this is my home. Everyone says "move!" not recognizing the many layers of difficulty that involves. Of course, if push comes to shove, we'll move. I'll buy an RV and live in that if I have to.

My aunt loves living in Greece. It is beautiful there. I’m thankful I got to Florida just before lockdown.

It was a beautiful place to grow up ( I’m 56). I loved living in bay ridge Brooklyn in the early 90’s. Before 9/11 though. I can’t even talk to my college educated friends about anything since lockdown!

That’s what it feels like here in NYS. I’ve lived no where else my whole 63 years. A wife mom and grandma. I believe it’s the city of NY, very high population Democratic left and stupid people that put it over to the wicked COVID witch Hochul. There may be of course 25% that voted for Lee, but if the totals were correct in the beginning it said 75% burrows went for Hochul. Once mid and upstate was voted were counted Lee went right up neck and neck. Like your state, we are controlled by the big city. Imagine if we did not have electoral college. Only CA, NY a handful of the very populace states with large cities would always choose the President. Rural states would be ignored. Our founding fathers were anointed by God I believe. We were a Christian founded nation. Now we are pagan sad to say. A remnant is left. We are like the Israelites now in the wilderness. Lefties hate the electoral college because 1. They are stupid and don’t understand our constitution is to keep the government in check and preserve our liberties and 2. The left are demonic tyrants and want power st all cost. It’s the base sin nature . A nation at this point won’t last if she does not repent and turn back to God. I don’t see that with this last election. Pres John Adams said our constitution is for a moral and religious people. It would not work for any other. Well we see that don’t we. Evil people spit in it.

I lived in Baldwinsville and Weedsport before I moved to central Florida just before lockdown. There were pagan Wicca bookstores all over the place. Lockdown probably put many out of business but it was disheartening. I had to repent for my new age stuff and life improved greatly.

I’m right there with you! My friends and I are devastated! We live in the South burbs of Chicago where people from the “hood” escape. BUT unfortunately their are so many some suburban homes here it’s hard to turn the tide. One woman (lefties) posted yesterday OUR LIFE DEPENDS ON IT 🤦🏻‍♀️ I so badly wanted to say who’s life? Certainly not unborn children...their lives just don’t matter to them.

I've seen facebook posts saying that. Even worse, the post said "our daughters and granddaughters lives depend on it." This was a close family member. It was all I could do to restrain myself from replying "the daughters and granddaughters that you allowed to live."

You need to stop restraining yourself. They need to hear the truth, even though they will not likely be receptive right off the bat. I got de-brainwashed 50 years ago after suffering a stint at the University of Florida. I still remember the things I heard that gradually awakened me to reality. Some made me quite angry at the time. I tried to dismiss them, but there they were and they kept circling back. It felt like a gradual process, but looking back it happened pretty quickly, step by step. Reality cost me my marriage, though I hung in to get the children raised. Didn’t want them exposed to the kinds of step families my ex would have brought.

Those woman are delusional and controlled by evil. No woman can think it’s ok and a right to do this otherwise. Kill their children. Mother Theresa was quoted saying she had no hope for a society where woman kill their unborn children. Well there is hope. His name is Jesus Christ and only thru Him can hearts change and sins forgiven. That’s what the Cross did. But God gave us free will to choose life or death , good or evil. Sad to say most choose evil and they will reap death from it.”The wages of sin is death but the gift of eternal life is in Christ Jesus”

With you my fellow Illinois resident. I figured The PrickSter would lumber back in and squat back into his very warm recliner chair. While he flicks the rest of us off his dinner plate at Temporis

The worst COVID tyrannical governors all got re-elected so far. That really made me, with Fetterman being elected , believe something is not right. We must go back to paper . Unfortunately no corporate news questions the election system. Only Tucker Carlson. Florida really cleaned up their election fraud and look what happened.

Because IL has been corrupt for so long no one blinks an eye when the Dems cheat to win. Even some of the suburbs are blue! How much pushback was there to the loss of freedom with the mandates? Look at Michigan Ave! The “magnificent mile” is now a ghost town of vacant store fronts. Crime is out of control. I feel bad for the good people of IL but don’t understand why anyone would stay there when they have no voice.

I live a few miles from Wisconsin. I go there to get gas that’s consistently 40 to 60 cents cheaper a gal.you could go without masks fairly quickly after vaccs came out so I shopped there too. Crazy land in Illinois but I can’t leave at our age. I’m in a real red district but no political flyers mentioned ANYTHING about the current mess. Inflation yes. A few normal Republican issues like business blah blah. Very disappointed. We’re going to have to physically rise up someday soon. Use our bodies to jam the machine. We who resisted have used our bodies but what needs to happen next? There were encouraging signs Tuesday in some places. Not in Illinois sadly.

I know. I frequently visited and stayed in Chicago for the past 40 years but since 2020 I no longer feel safe, have no desire to go there and the city has deteriorated dramatically and is overrun with rats. How sad.
