      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        I think that @Mik is correct. Gov. Pritzker was probably happy in one way that VP Harris lost. I would suspect that he will start to move to the "center" over the next couple of years. The pendulum for the Democrats went too far to the left and they are seeing the results of that.

            Chinatown in Chicago was historical as people from Hong Kong and the areas close to it. Cantonese was the most common language spoken there.

            That has changed a bit in recent years, but I dont think that just because more people in Chinatown are from "mainland" China does not mean that they are pro-China. There are quite a few that left because of the government.

            As to immigration, I would guess that at least 60% (or more) of the service workers in Chinatown at the restaurants, shops, etc. are illegal. But, I guess they dont vote. LOL

                  This is a pretty middle-class white neighborhood. Just to the east of O'Hare.

                      Politicians take too many things for granted.

                      "Illinois will always be Democrat"
                      "Texas will always be Republic"
                      etc

                      Being complacent will cause failure.

                        20 years is not "always," but it's close enough for government work.

                            Speaking of Illinois...

                            Remember when the federal government threatened to withhold funds if the states didn't implement a 55mph speed limit on the interstates?

                            I can see the incoming administration doing a similar thing with other policies - immigration, transgender stuff, etc.

                                There's the cosplay LD was referring to. At this time, mere fantasies of cosplay, but let's see where it goes.

                                Education is extremely important.

                                  @George-K He tried it in his first term with sanctuary states and failed. The money has to be related to the action, else it’s just extortion.

                                    I can't see Pritzker getting very far. He's just not that cuddly, engaging or smart. His policies are too conventionally Democratic.

                                        Isn’t that a literal and actual insurrection?

                                        Yes.

                                        Education is extremely important.

                                          This is good training for those of us who can't imagine not taking a politician seriously. Observe yourself in how you react to this politician's words, and try to figure out how you're managing to not take him seriously, in his literal threat to take up arms against the federal government.
