A second survey shows the Chicago mayor’s approval rating is at a pathetic 6.6 percent.
Oof.
This is the dangerously radical-and dangerously dumb- Brandon Johnson. Tool of the Chicago teacher’s union and the pro-socialist left.
The fact that he’s bleeping up the city in every way possible doesn’t surprise me- given what I said during the last mayor’s race: if Johnson wins- every good and decent Chicagoan needs to sell their house and head for the exits. Because it’s going to get ‘really bad’ for residents and voters there.
And it has.
And yes, I ultimately blame the voters of Chicago themselves, for continuing to vote so foolishly. But they had a better, more centrist, more reasonable option that they could have taken. They should have known better than to vote for this idiot- following the disaster of mayor Beetlejuice- who was nearly as bad for Chicago and a dangerous idiot-
But- the very rigged and dishonest democrat voting machine in Chicago delivered Johnson the win-and so here we are.
But here’s the fun- or tragic- part of the story, depending on how much you love Chicago: folks, Brandon Johnson isn’t up for re-election until 2027! Good God!
Residents of Chicago must endure nearly three more years of this dangerous idiot.
Moreover, the position Johnson is in- looks even worse when you get into some of the other findings of the m-3 strategies poll:
The damage that Johnson and these socialist progressive council members can do-yet- in three years-is catastrophic.
In fact- he and the lefty council seem determined to shove the city’s finances into a permanent death spiral.
Most people with mortgages or car loans know how this works: if you don’t at least ‘pay the interest’ on a big loan, your debt keeps getting bigger-and if you never ‘pay down the principal’, your debt just keeps getting bigger-
And so- Brandon Johnson and lefty leaders in Chicago think it’s a good idea to borrow 830-million dollars now- that quickly turns into a ‘real cost’ of two-billion dollars to Chicago taxpayers- because the terms of the loan say-
The city leaders don’t even need to start paying it back for two years (gee, when they’re all still in office)....and...two years from now...once the payments start on this 830-million in borrowing- the city only needs to pay on ‘the interest’ for 18 years....because the people of Chicago won’t make payments on the principal until 18 years in the future. When Johnson and every other scumbag on the Chicago city council is long gone.
This is the loan deal Chicago leaders cut: give us 830 million now-and some future mayor and city council will be legally bound to pay you back two-billion dollars- way down the road- when none of us can be held accountable for it.
And I’m sorry: but at some point-the voters of Chicago deserve it. Democrats have been destroying their city for decades. Nothing ever gets better. It only gets worse. And yet- the voters never decide to ‘vote differently’.
And so, enjoy your hellhole.
But- one final kicker on this situation: whenever Brandon Johnson is asked about why Chicagoans hate him- he says it’s just racists and right wingers. It’s racism. Not because he’s a subcuticular idiot who sucks more than any mayor has ever sucked.
No.
It's racism and ‘right wingers’ who don’t like him.
Folks-
He’s got a 6.6 percent approval rating!
Two percent! Of Chicago’s Hispanics support him. Two percent! Are they all racists and right wingers?
Only 12 percent of black Chicagoans support this asshat. Are the other 84 percent racists and right wingers?
What a dough-head.And like Joy Reid and al Sharpton and some of the worst scoundrels on the left, Brandon Johnson circles back to racism-every time he’s challenged. Every time. It’s racism.
Last year, when voters criticized his excessive spending-Johnson said he’s liberating Black people of Chicago.
Is that what Brandon Johnson is doing?
Because every move he makes seems to be making their streets more dangerous...and putting new generations of Chicago’s Black, Brown, and White residents in financial shackles that are going to weigh on them for generations.
