    Is she the most extreme or is she just the loudest? Because I would bet you there are people in congress who are to her right but keep quiet about it.

        People hear I’m on the Illinois border with Indiana on the Indiana side and say, “well at least you can get legal weed with a quick drive.” No, because it’s Central Illinois and “ain’t nobody gonna sell no wakky T-bakky in my town,” so if I want to get it that way, I have to drive 90 minutes. Chicago, very liberal. The rest of Illinois, Trump country.

          For real, the state is saved by having Chicago in it, otherwise it’d be as much of a shithole state as the surrounding ones.

          As someone who’s traveled the whole state, very accurate. Outside of Chicago and the collar counties, the only saving grace is Champaign pretty much. I do like Peoria since I lived there, but it’s a shithole
