Chicago Has a Zombie Problem

The internet applauded when the citizens of Chicago, or whoever stuffs the ballot boxes in that corrupt city, kicked incumbent mayor Lori Lightfoot to the political curb. Her replacement, however, hasn’t received much in the way of applause since taking office.

He inherited a vast criminal enterprise in a city plagued by crime. Small businesses always had difficulty prospering, but since the Summer of Love, those who were not burned out are leaving or have just gone out of business. They can’t afford to operate thanks to the aforementioned crime exacerbated by Inflation, employment issues, regulation, and did I mention crime?

Those are old problems, systemic – as the Left likes to say. This is Chicago, and these are not things another Democrat mayor will address in any meaningful way. Their predecessors broke the system for the benefit of a few and left a lot of people behind. But now they’ve got another problem. It is new to freshman Mayor Brandon Johnson but pre-exists his reign.

Thousands of illegal aliens have blown into the Windy City since the elevation of Stumblin’ Joe and Fumblin’ Kamala. The same Democrats who helped them, and Chicago’s Brandon, into positions of power have discovered that thing about being a sanctuary city they don’t like. The illegal aliens. They are invading their city like a horde of zombies seeking sanctuary.

Both were fooled. Chicago Democrats didn’t want these zombies and lacked the brains to feed them.

I honestly have no idea if the invaders are aware of the irony or if they even care, but the Democrat zombies who voted for this are confused. Their virtue signal has been scrambled by the smell wafting from the stench of the huddled masses (with iPhones, wearing Adidas) yearning to be freeloaders. We didn’t ask for this, they shout. And don’t these politicians work for us?

 

 

It is amusing to watch Democrats yelling at Democrats over the impact of Democrat policy not long before the Democrat Presidential Convention arrives in Chicago to anoint the next ‘Brandon.’ But are disgruntled voters of Chicago capable of grasping how they got here from there? Do they understand the change they need?

I don’t think they are clever enough to work it out.

My state borders Massachusetts. It is full of corrupt Dems who set fire to the cradle of liberty before stomping on its ashes and tossing them into a deep hole. They call it a commonwealth, but the only thing they have in common is generational ignorance. They vote Democrat because that’s what their parents and grandparents did. Their neighbors, co-workers, random crooks, and near-do-wells pull the lever for the D-Team like brainless zombies. And like Chicago, they need a twelve-step program.

They need to admit that they have a political addiction, which has made their lives unmanageable. That there is a power greater than the government and the Democrat Party. That they need to take a fearless moral inventory of the Democrat Party’s failures. In the case of Chicago, that greater power is the people in the Constitutional Republic they have for generations been working to undermine.

And that is what is so amusing. These Democrats are working for you, and this is what that looks like. If it is a different outcome you seek, only you can make that possible, but you’ll have to stop electing Democrats, and I don’t think you know how.
