The worst part is she’s representative of the majority of voters in that place. Her opinions and rhetoric are theirs. I don’t know what the answer is but she’s a symptom of the problem.
I work in Chicago and am shocked at the level of support she continues to have from people who I would expect to loathe her. The woman who cuts my hair is 60 years old and has had her own salon for 30 years, about 5 years ago she turned half the store into a clothing boutique to help pay the rent. About a month into the shutdown LL specificly threatens to take the licenses away and prosecute anyone cutting hair. Days later LL poses on FB with an unlicensed beautician getting her hair cut. My girl is seeing customers through the back door with the lights off. and gets mad at me for badmouthing lightfoot. Riots and looting ended 2 blocks from her salon but protesters marched past her salon several times. They also blocked access near her home and she was delayed getting there by a couple of hours. She got angry at me for lumping the innocent protesters in with rioters. Her local high school is a gang infested cesspool, her sons grammar school was very poor. He did not test well enough to get into a better high school. She is angry but not at anyone specific. I could go on for another 10000 words about the idiocy and hypocrisy of her actions and thinking. She is a typical Chicago white liberal voter.
