An Illinois state judge on Wednesday barred Donald Trump from appearing on the Illinois’ Republican presidential primary ballot because of his role in the attack at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, but she delayed her ruling from taking effect in light of an expected appeal by the former U.S president.
is it a blue state ?
Very much so, but like many other US states, the urban area (Chicago) is more liberal and the rural areas are conservative. But on balance the whole state is very Blue.
Southern Illinois may as well be it’s own state. Feels like you’re going back in time to some bizzaro land hellscape mix of 1955 and 2005.
Accurate description, but it’s quicker to just say “may as well be Indiana”.
Idk man, I’ve been to some real Hoosier places in Indiana, and none have them have came close to just how awful places like Cairo, IL feel to be in. It makes Gary look not depressing.
On that note, here’s a somewhat relevant song :)
Yeah, 80% of the state’s population is clustered around Chicago and St Louis. The rest of the state is red af but sparsely populated.
