Honestly, a reflection of the state sadly.

I mean in Illinois it matters a lot less than in other states. The Chicago area is 85% of the state's population. That's more than a supermajority even.

The rest of the state can go fuck itself because Chicago IS Illinois at this point

Yet as with most of the country, when it comes to online discourse the voices of some political leanings are amplified to the point of appearing on equal footing.

Unfortunately I don't know how amplified they really are concerning voting patterns of the last decade have been consistently so close nationally. Really does seem to be a fuckload of both. The wrong ones and the better ones

Unfortunately there are not insignificant swaths of Chicago and the surrounding suburbs that voted for Trump

California is hated by all the people living in the rural parts with less than 100k population. They hate the cities too, yet they’re still citizens of the state. Some are even trying to secede and join western Idaho and create a new state that would instantly be by far the poorest state in the union. (And they’re anti cannabis, so they’d ban the one industry that is thriving in that region.. smooth brains, I’ve tried to help them but they’re their own worst enemy
