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.
J(ail) B(ird) needs a biscuit!
I don’t see the highlighted text as calling Republicans “Nazi’s.” It is a warning that totalitarians can take over if we’re not careful. Pritzker neglected to recognize himself and his allies as the threat, but that’s unsurprising.
Anything to disagree with there?
You don’t see the words “Republicans are Nazis” but that unquestionably was his point. For him to claim otherwise by parsing words is about like Bill Clinton saying “it depends on what the meaning of is is.” We criticized Pritzker’s speech about it in detail here at the time: https://wirepoints.org/jb-pritzker-says-he-is-fighting-against-nazis-in-astounding-speech-wirepoints/. In other places Pritzker said unequivocally that MAGA Republicans were fascists. and see that video going viral now:https://x.com/thekevindalton/status/1967703605064200632?s=42
When Pritzker says “These Republicans cannot know a moment of peace” he is advocating for fear. When Pritzker says “Democracy requires your courage” he is advocating for action to cause fear.
Here is a video compilation of the times he called Republicans and Trump/supporters nazis

Would like to see Big Boy dance his way out of that.
