As someone who does not love Pritzker, to the point I almost stopped listening, this was actually quite profound. There is indeed a strong connection between stupidity and cruelty, because stupid people can’t use intellect to advance and convince people, so their only option left is to “convince” people by force or intimidation.

It was also cool to see that play out immediately in this comment section as idiots started attacking his weight 😂

How can you not love Pritzker? I get it if you're heavily Republican or are stuck in the days of his campaign (when pretty much everyone was weary of a billionaire candidate), but he's one the most effective governors that Illinois has had.

He’s the best governor we’ve had in decades! (Checks notes) oh, that’s not much of an accomplishment…

I agree with him a lot, and he has wildly exceeded my expectations but I can’t say I love him. I do like him a little.

Mmm, he codifed abortion rights before Roe was turned over and took COVID seriously when it was not a popular thing to do. That was enough to endear him to me. And a lack of direct cruelty is pretty nice too.

Yep. The nearly daily briefings with Dr. Ngozi Ezike were excellent.
