Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker has pushed Democratic incompetence to new extremes in 2025, with ample evidence clearly visible to support it. To begin with, estimates hold that since Pritzker took office as governor in 2019, Illinois has suffered an out-migration of over a half a million Illinois residents. Part of that is because of the Illinois Democrats offering some of the highest taxes and costs of living in the country but some of it is because of the loss of jobs as well. Big name employers leaving Illinois like Caterpillar, Boeing, Citadel, and Tyson Foods are recognizable by about everybody but there have been many more.

And while it is true that Pritzker is about to conclude his second term after defeating the Republicans 3 years ago to pursue a third term, many in the state are now questioning whether elections are being stolen by the Democrats in Illinois on a regular basis.
There are many good reasons why Illinois voters and residents feel the Democrats are simple criminals at the least and treasonous enemies within at the most. A consistent game plan seems to be elevating actual criminals to preferred citizen status while making law abiding Illinoisans criminals fit for prison. Here are two of the most glaring examples:
“Suspect With 70+ Arrests Was Free Under Illinois ‘Cashless’ Bail Before Brutal Fire Attack” – AOL News
“Trump DOJ official argues against Illinois assault weapons ban” – Fox 32 Chicago
So in the first case a young 26 year old girl on a Chicago subway train was doused with gasoline and set on fire by a repeat offender out on bail. The important aspect of this case is not his race but the fact he is mentally ill.
In the second case Illinois Democrats decided it would be a good idea to ban assault weapons in Illinois grandfathering those who already had them so long as they registered them with the State. Over 90% of the County Sheriffs said they would not enforce Pritzker’s law calling it what it is “unconstitutional”. While there is no way of knowing how many assault weapon gun toting Illinoisans came into compliance, experts agree those to comply were less than 10%. Legal action is being planned by some law abiding Illinoisans who did not own the designated weapon at the time of Pritzker’s ban and now want to buy one.
CONCLUSION:
The insanity that is J.B. Pritzker deserves a response and I am just waiting for justice to prevail. I am not saying that because I am a violent person. I am saying that because one of the central tenants of socialists and communists is to make society less safe by sowing in chaos and anarchy to allow them to initiate absolute control.

It is easy to imagine a future America where an innocent future Illinois child becomes yet another victim of a violent crime thanks to socialist Democrats and the family takes the law into their own hands against Illinois Democrats. In their minds what the Democrats have done to make residents of the state less safe was not only avoidable but also predictable.
They are no longer viewed as “fellow Americans” but rather the “enemies within operating from a hidden agenda” and that will be rationalization for their elimination. Soros appointed planted judges and attorneys will not be spared. The Jossie Smollett hate crime hoax in downtown Chicago was the turning point moment to Soros appointed Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx there.

If you want to know how bad Illinois is, just look at the Chicago Bears NFL football team. They have been in negotiations with their landlord Chicago Park District to remain in Chicago but have had a plan “B” of leaving Chicago for the western suburb of Arlington Heights, Illinois. Now, Illinois politics has apparently caused that deal to fall through so, they are moving on to a plan “C”, of leaving Illinois all together for Gary, Indiana!
As the old expression goes, “You can’t make this stuff up!”
And if you want to know how Pritzker actions have Illinoisan reactions…
“Gov. Pritzker signs bill protecting immigrants from federal enforcement in Illinois” – WGN Chicago Television
“Chicago Flips Red summons Trump” – The Center Square
They say that as Chicago voters go, so goes 75% of Illinois. Given that math, the “Chicago Flips Red” movement has Illinois Democrats so screwed in 2026! See their website here: https://www.flipsred.com/.
