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.
I guess the democrats are starting a civil war, hopefully without firearms, but either way they will lose AGAIN.
The poor lemming Democrats do not realize they are being led to slavery. Their lives will not be better, only worse.
If you haven’t figured it out, the USA is already in the beginning stages of a civil war. Read the history of the lead up to our last civil war. The similarities are astounding.
Democrats are not only for violence, the leaders encourage it. Dems are pro criminal, pro illegals and against law abiding US citizens.
Democrats planned SNAP to run out so they will start a civil disturbance robbing the grocery stores . 2020 PEACEFUL RIOTS AGAIN.
Sorry Rich, but the Dems began going off the rails nationally since 2008 when the UI-C undergrad with Weather Underground ties ascended to the throne. We are now seeing the seeds for a “ re- imagined, re- set America “ planted then bearing their strange fruit.
The Democratic Party hasn’t been fully invested in the Republic since Lincoln won the presidency.
