Gay rights will end up being gone if they could get rid of them. MTG is the most extreme.

Mary Miller comes to mind. Illinois Nazis man.

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."

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
