| Let's Go Brandon: Far leftist wins Chicago Mayor Election |
| 2023-04-05 |
| [MSN] The victory caps a meteoric rise for [Brandon] Johnson, 46, a Cook County commissioner, an activist and a member of the Chicago Teachers Union, who in the first round of the mayoral race, held Feb. 28, had been polling in fifth place before he finished second, behind Vallas... Only ~500k votes total. I think there were about 2M eligible to vote: Johnson didn't disguise his agenda - he went straight forward to promise more taxes, fewer police, more propaganda in schools, etc. Related: Brandon Johnson: 2023-03-28 Former Obama cabinet member endorses pro-police candidate: 'Best hope for a safer Chicago' Brandon Johnson: 2023-03-01 Chicago Mayor Lightfoot ousted; Vallas, Johnson in runoff Brandon Johnson: 2023-01-19 Chicago Mayor Lightfoot places fourth in poll ahead of reelection day next month |

| #9 Einstein (apocryphally) said it was insanity, not stupidity, to do the same thing over and over and expect a different result each time. Of course, quantum mechanics sort of makes that hazy now... |

| #8 Chicago, proof that voter stupidity has no limits. The new guy will ride the race card into deeper penetration of the federal pocket. The sad reality will be the story next year about the inner city being a food/shopping desert, as retail and grocery outlets will be reduced to the stop-and-rob level of high risk corner markets. |

| #7 ...were today's shit-hole cities all better off under the Mob back in the day? At least you could deal with the Mob somewhat rationally; not these assholes. |

| #6 HOMESICK SNOWBIRD... In Venice, Florida last week, there was a bumper sticker on a parked car that read: "I miss Chicago.” Someone broke the window, stole the radio, shot out all four tires, added a Biden bumper sticker and left a note that read: "Hope this helps." |

| #5 Do we prefer today's crime over yesteryear's? Zombieland continues in Philadelphia as 'dealers and addicts' are seen sleepwalking down a side street in crisis-hit Kensington neighborhood where fentanyl and 'tranq' overdoses run rampant |

| #4 If there wasn't a clearer signal to get the heck out of Chicago (and Illinois in general...lovely taxes), it was Lori Lightfoot's reign. Of course, those who voted for her (and her successor) can stay. |

| #2 Sometimes I wonder, were today's shit-hole cities (Pelosi's (née D'Alesandro) Baltimore, Rizzo's Phiily, Daley's Chi-town) all better off under the Mob back in the day? Do we prefer today's crime over yesteryear's? Perspective. |

| #1 So, Chicago's about to look back on the 'Ol Bug Eyes' era as the good old days? Sux to be you. |
