What is so wild is that there are movements like the one in Illinois to secede from Chicago, basically because, well, reasons.
And turn it into a new shithole state? What do these jagoffs think the real outcome is going to be once a city like Chicago is not there to subsidize them?
It’s understandable if you take time to talk to people living outside a major city. Most the economic opportunity effectively gets taken by the major city. Rural residents can’t afford to even visit the city, but likely get flooded by vacationing city folk that distort the local economy.
Chicago also has some financial problems the state will likely absorb yo some degree as well which only further inflames the resentment.
You mean the people who’s only news source is Fox News?
Chicago is the financial backbone of the state. And major cities are where most of the population of the state live. Seriously, where do you think the money for everything comes from? The little podunk towns where virtually no one lives? The acres of rural nothing in the middle of the state where nothing but corn and racism grows?
Rural Americans think entirely too much of themselves. They are not the “backbone of America” they believe themselves to be. They are the leeches who complain the loudest about the life blood that goes toward anything but them.
That doesn’t change if they are in a different state. It just removes the support they get from the city taxes.
That’s literally every state. Most people live in, and around cities. Rural people who choose to avoid the cities, also have to live with not having the advantages of cities. That’s their choice, they should stop whining.
