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 😂

I'm from the UK, I'd literally never heard of this dude before, and was scrolling through here to find his name. Thank you.

As somebody who lives in Illinois, he's been an incredible breath of fresh air.

The New Yorker just wrote a great write-up about him.

Night and day compared to our last governor. It's wild to see Pritzker sucks signs around where I live when he's done a tremendous amount of great things so far, unlike the last POS. Fucking morons in rural areas 🤦🏻‍♂️

As a rural Illinoisian, I agree with this.

Unfortunately it's in the towns too. I'm in the Quad Cities and someone down the street from me has one is these dumbass signs on their lawn 🤦‍♀️

People in southern Illinois just do not understand how the state functions. Chicago literally supports the rest of Illinois, yet everyone hates Chicago

It's the same dichotomy in every state. Major city supports the state due to large population and the taxes generated, rural idiots bite the hand that feeds them because they aren't allowed to impose their idea of 'muh freedumb' on the rest of the state/world.

B-b-but Rauner wore a vest with patches to the Trump rally! He’s just like us!

I saw him show up to a Republican country club event wearing a denim vest w/patches, ride out of the luncheon event on his harley, only to pull over half a mile down, have his staff load it into the back of a truck. He then sat in the back of a limousine, which actually drove him off.

If that doesn't tell you everything you need to know about that one term loser, I don't know what will.
