As a Chicagoan, I came here to say this. Pritzker already negotiated a side deal with Mexico so honestly it would not surprise me.

Its kind of nuts because pretty much every economic hub in the us would seek to join California in any change. Texas has been moving left as it gains prosperity.. Florida is the only one that goes right but that is because people are leaving the state and the dumb ones(repubs) stick around.

maybe. they are old fks reliant on social security.. and took for granted all of the things they got from government their whole lives. will be nice for them to see what Americans these days are left without.
