Chicago Went WOKE, and Now Its School District Is BROKE and HUNDREDS of Staff Face Layoffs

It's incredibly sad to see Democrats and their policies ruin America's cities. But the voters elected them -- and keep electing them -- and you get the governance you deserve.

In Chicago, voters went from Lori Lightfoot -- a terrible mayor -- to Brandon Johnson. Who looked at Lightfoot's tenure and said, 'Hold my beer.'

Now Chicago Public Schools (CPS) is bankrupt.

And the children are the ones who will suffer.

Does anyone want to bet they get some money somehow? Any takers?

We'll see if someone bails them out.

Democrats hate kids. How can anyone argue this? They traffic them, molest them, groom them, indoctrinate them, steal their education money, and use them as child slave labor.

Hard to argue otherwise.

More proof Democrats ruin everything they touch. I wouldn't trust them to run a lemonade stand.

Nope. They'd bankrupt that, too.

CONGRATULATIONS Chicago, you have fulfilled Thatchers statement “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.” ― Margaret Thatcher
ANYTHING Democrats touch goes up in flames!

And then Democrats tax the ashes.

To paraphrase Jamie Dimon (yet again): Democrat politicians are idiots.

Why would anyone vote for idiots like Brandon Johnson? Some misguided sense of historic guilt? That's both invalid in the present day AND damaging to the very people you aspire to help.

STOP. VOTING. FOR.… https://t.co/iacZID3leT
