I'm talking about everyone I read. The folks who have an ounce of common sense and human decency left in their bones, and also the native intelligence to see where electing a guy like this could very well end up.

As a wise man once said, 'It ain't rocket science.'

And, for God's sake, even if you can't do the calculus on your own, it's not like there aren't a million examples already of the possible disaster in store one way or the other.

Chicago has a weak, ineffective, progressive Bear of Little Brains mayor who talks a big game. He has not personally been destroying the city - he's not smart enough - but letting it fall apart as he shoves it ever further into the abyss on behalf of his union puppet masters and his big ego.

Brandon Johnson has cultivated all the wrong sorts to populate his administration and raise their flags at Daley Plaza, whilst the citizens of the city duck for cover literally and figuratively. Johnson, like Zohran Mamdani, is not real hep on the police. 

Life and death on Chicago streets reflect that.

The 18 people shot in River North Drive brings to 24 the number of mass shootings this year. While the Mayor brags about murders being down the fact remains Chicago again leads the nation in murders with 201 murders, 83 children shot and 14 killed and mass shootings. pic.twitter.com/lxjfYpIabi

As for the intellect required to run a major city, Johnson is definitely short a load of the required stem cells, and Chicago's sad state reflects that.

It will be interesting to see where Mamdani drops in the 'gifted' category. Unfair as it might be, there is speculation that the recently revealed bout of untruthfulness on his Ivy League application was an attempt to game the system à la Elizabeth Warren's high cheekbones, as opposed to the lad simply confusing the terminology for where he was born. Why did he do it?
