Pro-Trump Counties Vote to Secede from Illinois, Form New Red State
Seven counties voted in favor of secession, and in six of those counties, more than 70% of voters were in favor of the measure.
You're viewing a single thread.
They will never survive without Chicago. Rightwingers are the biggest welfare queens in America.
Need a balanced budget amendment.
I'm tired of all my money going to worthless red states where reading is considered unmasculine.
The irony of decrying conservative ignorance in the same comment as suggesting a "solution" based on conservative ignorance of the difference between a household or business and a government 🤦
They're the ones who hate welfare spending, I'm just trying to help them follow their principles.
You should have to suffer the consequences of your beliefs, at least when you inflict them on others by force.
While they hate welfare spending, I bet they like farming subsidies a lot. They might be in for a surprise.
I know what you're saying, and on the surface you're right.
The problem is that, past that surface level justice, a shitload of people who have NOT agreed with or even consented to their nonsense would suffer from it just as much.
I lived in the south, man, I lived in most of the country, but the South... I do not see any hope for redemption there whatsoever.
100 years after losing the civil war they still had Jim Crow and the KKK, Hitler himself wrote about them as an inspiration in Mein Kampf, lynched returning black GIs, and even today they do everything they can to stop black people from voting, or minimizing the effect, when they aren't just beating brown people for kicks. And they still consider themselves proud of their "Heritage":
Personally, it's us or them now.
Btw, the reason the south had a massive opioid epidemic? After the welfare reforms the 90s, they realized that meant white people welfare too, so they all applied for SSDI for "back pain" (came out of the SS budget which rich people didn't care about), which came with free opioid pills they could sell for more money.
Until we fix them, we're doomed as a country.
Grew up around central Illinois, the whole area blames Chicago for their problems while the true issue is all the auto manufacturing left in the 70-80s. If they formed their own state they'd be worse off than Mississippi. But hey, they'd get to keep Danville and East St. Louis, two of the worst cities in America.

Hey now, no need for exaggeration! It takes decades if not centuries of extreme corruption and bigotry to get THAT awful. You don't get a title fight as your first bout.
Hey, that’s not fare to welfare queens.
