        You have no idea how terrified conservatives are of Chicago. Seriously, it’s the fuckin Boogeyman to them. I’m not kidding, not exaggerating, not hyperbole. Multiple conservatives in my life have looked at me like I’m insane for taking my family there on vacations.

          I have some pretty conservative family members none of whom live in Illinois, but they are all Cubs fans and went to Chicago for vacations too. I guess I missed out on this weird aspect of conservatism.

        The courts just ruled yesterday that sending the NG to LA against the governors wishes was illegal.

        He may be holding off until it goes to the Supreme Court and gets overruled there.

        Either the recent ruling against him is having an effect and our checks and balances are checking and balancing, or he’s worried about the reaction if they send troops here. I will take either of those as a win.
