The Land of Lincoln has failed. Time to disband; let IA, WI, IN, and KY annex a part of the state.
Move the federal government to Illinois, as many departments as it can take. The employees will follow while turning Virginia red. Boost the economy in Ill.
The Land of Lincoln would be just fine if it could jettison the Land of Daley
“Hey, fellas, we’ve decided that rather than let you live next to a failed state we’ll let you live next to each other an give each of you a nifty quarter of a 20-Ton anchor for your dinghies of state....”

LOVE that idea! I call, ‘DIBS’ for Wisconsin to get all of the Lake Front Property! :)
The problem is Chicago, which has enough Democrat votes to override the whole rest of the state. And who’d want it? Maybe Baltimore or Newark?
The problem isn’t so much Illinois as it is the city of Chicago and Cook County. Excise Chicago and Cook County from the state and Illinois is not only red, it is solvent and prosperous.
Why not City-state carve outs? NY State and Illinois would benefit tremendously.
We can build walls and around CHI and NYC and let them play “Escape from NY”.
