For those not from Illinois, there is a very loud (also small) contingent from outside of Chicago who like to complaint that the entire state isn’t Chicago. They are usually republican and are mostly subsidized by the people who live in chicago paying taxes. They are deeply republican, and there is nothing that he or anyone else could do to make them happy. (Biggest tip off here is that he resorts to name calling and fox news talking points)

Is Pritzker perfect, no. But on the politician scale, he's one of the better ones…

ah yes, the people with MAGA and "pritzker sucks" signs littering their lawns along with staples like

silhouette cowboy smoking
Christmas lights in July
a well house to nowhere
abandoned early 2000s car with grass two feet tall around it
an abandoned patch of yard that possibly has a another car inside it but you can't see because the grass is too tall
above ground swimming pool with broken deck
half-burned junk pile
perfectly manicured lawn around dilapidated trailer
and many more!

Yeah "soft on crime" was cringe af.

Illinois is 29th in violent crime and 21st in property crime by state. Crime rates are going down, both in Illinois and nationally. Source. White, rural people are terrified of what their tv tells them about minorities and cities, facts and statistics be damned. One or two anecdotes will always overshadow reality for these kinds of people.
