The people of Chicago shouldn't get their hopes up.....

Yes,it's a great thing that former mayor Lori Lightfoot was ousted from office in a recall election;she was historically incompetent and had what I understand was an almost 100% increase in crime under her term.But here's the question:will her successor be any different or will they continue the same woke policies?If it's the latter,the people of Chicago can expect more of the same!

59%, not 100. Atrocious...until you understand that the overall national crime rate rose 52% in the same span of time. The "100%" number is for a brief window under certain circumstances. Cherry-picked, in other words.

As long as right wing ideology and lawlessness are the rule of the day, crime across the board can be expected to remain the same or increase. Chicago is no unique experiment, though the right would like to believe they're somehow a unique city; this country is backsliding seriously and until accountability is the word of the day, you can expect it to continue in Chicago, Vermont, Pennsylvania, Nevada....
