Northern Illinois is not a place for republicans
This title may seem a bit....resque, but I find it fair and accurate. I was raised in a very conservative family, rooted in strong family and fiscal ideologies. I was blessed in the sense that my mother never shoved religion down my throat. She opted to let me figure out life myself, and I returned by telling her that there isn't a god. But that's for a post later down the road. Republicanism was never popular here in Illinois, the closer to the city you get, the bluer you'll find the people. It's common sense that cities are primarily democrat. People in the City rely on social services, have to live with high taxes, tend to be more socially accepting and environmentally conscious (I blame the smell, it's hard to ignore it). In the suburbs of Chicago, however, things are different. We're spaced out, have plenty of opportunities, and consist of middle class families. It would seem that republicanism should strive here, and that assumption sounds accurate. Unfortunately, for the sake of political competition, it's not. In order to dive into the whole "it's not" statement, we have to acknowledge the large amount of baby boomers that consist of the republican party. Reganaughts who still remember the good 'ole days...when one could be racist without fear, when one could deny a woman's social rights, when one could get away with whatever he wanted too because he was white. Well, i mean at least the last one is the same. The second the baby boomers begin to die off, young democrats inspired by the politicians and environment around them will take there place. I intended to transcribe the mind of a young democrat, thought I label myself as a moderate, I will take the time to learn about the democratic party as well as I can.
-It's been real, I hope I'll remember to post again.
