Lose blue cities- Lose democracy

Thom Hartmann reinforced what Gov. Pritzker has said. Military in our cities is designed to disrupt elections.
If you remove Chicago then Illinois becomes a red state. This holds true for many blue states. Remove the voters from urban areas and the states flip red. It seems obvious that this is the plan for the 2026 midterms. Obvious to everyone except the Democratic leadership.
Some say they are tired of us bashing our own. I agree that a lot is happening legislatively that is not known. However, as Gov. Newsome has said, it’s time to wake the F up as to how down the road of fascism that we are. We need the entire Democratic Party to be using the language that only a few are. We need to see the entire Democratic Party being talked about on the corporate news because of an action they have taken to wake people up. So grateful for those that are showing how it’s done. We need more than tired meaningless floor speeches.
Remember Jan. 6 ? If you don’t think that T and the republicans are going to do everything in their power to mess with the midterms I have a bridge to sell you.
