dems biggest blunder is ignoring reality and not coming to terms with the reality of it.
By the way, when is the city going to make reparations to the Italians and give back that Columbus statue they’ve been storing?
Who would of ever thought that Columbus, Lincoln, Jefferson, and Washington would be so hated by Leftist Democrats. Pritzker’s silence on this mob action is deafening.
Had enough woke yet? If not, keep voting blue.
The punks who did this should be jailed, fined, and forced to clean up the statue! If only Chicago maintained public order.The vandalism must be on camera.

All human beings are flawed, and the history of this country must be interpreted in the context of when that history was lived. Instead of destroying public masterpieces, study American history and then read several biographies of Lincoln so you can get to the real truth of who the man was. I think… Read more »
They destroy what exists to start anew. Pol Pot declared a year zero where the entire past had to be destroyed so a new cultural revolution could take hold. He killed 25% of his country’s population to achieve a revolution. His only regret on his death bed was not killing even more. The French Revolution threw out every cultural issue of the ancien regime, they went as far a burning all the land records so no one knew who owned what land, and renaming the days, the weeks, the year, a new calendar, new seasons, everything was new, and everything… Read more »
