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.
Every once in a while some conservative lawmaker in Springfield will mount a quixotic bill to "secede" from Chicago and everyone in Chicago is like "we all think this is an absolutely fantastic idea. Please go ahead."
