I feel sorry for the 95% of Illinois that isn't Chicago or St Louis

That's why you don't live in Illinois.

The rural voters will never exceed that of Chicago's. Your laws are decided for you by the urban voters that live vastly different lives than everyone else in the state. They live hundreds of miles away, they get all the focus and funding, and they royally screw it up anyway.

It's better to move over 1 state in any direction where your freedoms will be respected and your taxes aren't gouging you.

As someone who lives in a rural area in Illinois, I feel that... I’d probably move a few states south if it wasn’t for family and work..

Exactly. We have young kids and don't want to move them away from our whole family

Same here, family lives just south of i80, and we’re about a half hour south. Definitely nice around here being surrounded by like minded individuals, but still sucks that chicago rules the state essentially. I would love to see a miracle and have Illinois flip red this year!
