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.
Rally should be renamed – The LOW IQ DEM Rally!!
Boomers, not all of them, but many of them, have made the worst generation this nation has ever seen. They’ve lived under a period of the most economic prosperity in the history. And they’ve chosen to squander it all, giving away our birthright to foreigners and corporations. They off-shored tens of millions of American jobs to foreigners, they’ve gotten us involved in foreign wars to feed the military industrial complex, they’ve ruined the affordable university experience, they instituted DEI to intentionally exclude anyone who looks like them, and they’ve sunk the country into unimaginable debt. They’ve supported every manner of… Read more »
I think the author nailed it when he pointed out the largest segment of the protesters. I wonder how many of these women, at one time or another, had sought psychological help and, as some I’ve encountered that have now seem to think that they know what’s best for everyone and everyone else needs to seek psychological assistance also. Truly an insufferable bunch that are beyond reasoning with.
I’m so glad no commenter here is ever like that, aren’t you?
Can we just call it what it really is? A No Common Sense Echo Chamber Rally.
It is amazing how they ignore the coronation of that cackling moron Harris to the Dem Presidential candidate after a coup took out addled brained Biden.
If there was a king ruling this country you low information voters wouldn’t be allowed to have your self serving idiot fest.
No kings rallies in a city and county ruled for 100 years by the democratic cartel are ironic, especially considering the pervasive corruption, the immense financial and tragic law enforcement disasters, including being a sanctuary city and state, the single party has wrought.
This distraction from the problem of illegals murdering US citizens must be costing Soros ( and probably taxpayers through NGO’s ) a fortune. Yeah, I’m a Nazi, but check out the 2x increase in violent crimes attributed to Hispanics on the Hey Jackass website within the last year- six months. Truth is stranger than fiction.
How about King Pritzker and his two Queen bees Welch and Harmon along with all the Springfield worker bees. How soon you forget what you did to Illinois since your inception into office, work of art Pritzker a real work of art.
Trump’s approval hits new 36% low as fuel prices surge amid Iran war, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds
From the same people that wet their pants and claimed the president has nothing to do with the increase in prices of gas, groceries etc when Autopen was in charge.
democrats at 30% you left that out
I hope they didn’t spread too much monkeypox!
This psychotherapist has about the best analysis I’ve seen about the mental illness of many people at these rallies: https://www.wsj.com/opinion/no-kings-politics-as-bad-group-therapy-df3778ff?st=xJLtyi&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink
thanks for this.
The emotionally- wrought comments attached to the article illustrate the authors point too!
It’s really the PROJECTION RALLY.
“Remember when King Trump shut down your church and business, stopped you from seeing loved ones in the hospital, fired you for not getting a vaccine, banned you on social media for your speech, nominated a presidential candidate without a single vote, indicted opposition party’s
president several times and tried to take him off the ballot and fined you for not buying health insurance?
Oh, wait, that was Democrats.”
