I think we need an allied invasion of Chicago. Free downstate Illinois can cover the south, Michigan can storm the beaches, Wisconsin can cover the north, Iowa can cover the west flank and Missouri can back up Iowa and Free downstate Illinois.

As a resident of Illinois, I would be happy if Chicago and the surrounding counties would become the 51st state. Illinois illustrates well the tyranny and corruption of a densly populated blue region over a much larger and vastly more conservative countryside. It’s like the downstaters are a fiefdom that has to pay both monetarily and socially for the allowances and largesse of the Chicago overlord.

> Wisconsin can cover the north

Aw geez, not another surge of refugees from Illinois. It's almost Labor Day. Where I live we're looking forward to watching the F.I.S.H. close up their summer cabins and head south again. Do we have to let them back in?

Not to worry. Any Allied Invasion of the People’s Republic of Soviet Socialist Illinois will IMMEDIATELY have an armed and willing ally down here. We shall quickly subdue Carbondale and the entire Southern part of the state (south of I-64) is ours. We can run resupply up the Abraham Lincoln Trail to our rebel bases in the Cook County burbs. We flipping hate Chicago.

and I was born and raised there!
