This was seen in Wheaton IL this holiday weekend (I’m assuming it was the 4th of July weekend, it was in an email I received from the county Democratic Party today)

13. DuPage County is Democratic now.

They voted for Hillary and for Biden. There are several Democratic Congressman in DuPage County. The county board is now in Democratic hands. Five of the nine new Democrats are women.

There has been a great deal of demographic change in the county. I hope that change comes to my county, too. Now that more people are working from home, we may seem some changes in the exurbs and rural areas as well.

14. several lf those women are dino's.

after 18, there was instant tension out there. 4 dems elected, 1 already there. that one and 2 of the '18 women have been feuding. it's sad.

16. How are they voting?

I don't care if they are feuding, if they are voting for things we want.

I see feuding out here all the time.

4. Wheaton was always incredibly Republican and "Christian", so it doesn't surprise me.

Saddens me though. Those three things frequently seem to go hand in hand.

8. I was shocked by Wheaton College's response to January 6th

“The January 6 attack on the Capitol was characterized not only by vicious lies, deplorable violence, white supremacy, white nationalism, and wicked leadership—especially by President Trump—but also by idolatrous and blasphemous abuses of Christian symbols. The behaviors that many participants celebrated in Jesus’ name bear absolutely no resemblance to the Christian teachings or ethics that we submit to as faculty and staff of Wheaton College. Furthermore, the differential treatment displayed by those with a duty to protect in their engagement with rioters who trespassed on the Capitol grounds illegally, when compared to recent protests over police brutality in D.C. last summer, illustrates the ongoing reality that systemic racism in our country is tragically and undeniably alive and well. These realities are reprehensible. Our Christian faith demands shining a light on these evils and the simultaneous commitment to take appropriate action.”

7. The Heartland was the home of the second coming of KKK.

Pekin IL's high school mascot was the Ch**ks until the 70s. Get it Pekin...Ch**ks. Racists have always been everywhere.

10. But, but, but...

12. When I see someone flying that Stars and Bars shitstain in the North

Not only have they self-identified themselves as a racist, they are also a treasonous POS for celebrating traitors that caused the death of 360,000 patriots.
