If you want to know how little Democrats actually care about helping the people they serve, look no further than how they react when President Donald J. Trump offers to help them with any problem they haven't been able to solve. It's crazy to think any elected official would rather their people suffer than accept help from Trump.
Then again, this is the Democrat Party we're talking about.
For example, JB Pritzker is big mad that Trump might come in and do the job he's refused to do in Chicago:
Donald Trump's threat to bring the National Guard to Chicago isn't about safety — it's a test of the limits of his power and a trial run for a police state.

Illinois has long worked with federal law enforcement to tackle crime, but we won't let a dictator impose his will. pic.twitter.com/hmr0BSKCBf
Wait. What? Illinois has worked to tackle crime?
Since WHEN?
Then the d'oh-boy shared a piece from The New York Times to back his argument up.
Try not to laugh.
OH FINE ... laugh. We did.
— Governor JB Pritzker (@GovPritzker) August 23, 2025
Yeah, fighting crime makes crime worse.
Totally.
You can already guess how this is going over on X:
"Illinois has long worked .. to tackle crime" ?????

Then you absolutely SUCK at it, and it's time for grownups to take over.
Mass shootings by city, as just ONE metric of how you fail.
Hell, you guys need a separate prison for all the mayors and governors convicted of… pic.twitter.com/9XT3M4cYqW
Ouch.
Advocating for rampant crime to continue in Chicago is quite the hill to die on.

Anything to stop Trump from having another win.
If you are incapable of self-governance, then the Feds must step in to restore order. The people of Chicago deserve to live in a functioning city.

I don't know if Chicago could get worse. At this point, you may want to try, since nothing you've done has worked.

Bingo.
So you advocate for crime?

Chicago’s average of shootings every weekend is around 40 people shot, but sure, keep weeping for the criminals 🙄

This is the 2025 equivalent to “walls don’t work.”

You sir, are an idiot.
— Geoff Gagliardi (@geoffge11) August 24, 2025
Talk about an insult to idiots everywhere.
Perhaps you should try actually locking up criminals instead of allowing them to roam free.

What a crazy idea. So crazy that it might just WORK.
