Glennon raised the stakes of the moment in broader civilizational terms: “This election in Illinois is not about the usual pedestrian issues… it’s about nothing less than whether Western civilization survives in our democratic republic of America because [the left], just on the open border alone, will destroy the country, and now they’re bringing in the jihadists, frankly, into the party.” Audio and summary linked here.Audio and summary linked here.
New Trier High School made national headlines nine years ago as a “canary in a coal mine” for political indoctrination in public schools. The canaries lived.
Among the consequences of economic growth that badly lags national averages are billions of lost revenue every year. Yet denial reigns in Illinois, fueling the vicious cycle of demand for higher taxes.

It’s worth noting IL Dems didn’t have great options for shoring up Bustos’s district, #IL17. The hypothetical 14D-3R map below features 13 districts Clinton/Biden won by 10%+. But #IL17 would’ve shifted just two points left, from Trump +1 to Clinton/Biden +1.
Don’t be surprised if Illinois plummets down to only 1 or 2 Republican seats; some bold progressive nutjob will likely propose a map with Zero republicans. many states are doing this. Kentucky about to get rid of it’s one Democrat seat and Maryland is about to do the same for it’s one Republican seat. And they’re all neatly drawn ‘competitive’ maps too, unlike IL’s maps that are outrageously gerrymandered.
Dems do nothing if not cheat. it is the only thing they know how to do.
I don’t care what happens in Illinois as long as the Republicans take the House in 2022.
really? What about THIS map:
That real?
