Democrats don’t give a hoot about how many Americans are impoverished, harmed, or killed because of their policies. For instance, the Democrat government of Illinois essentially told people to suck it up regarding the insane, violent crime plaguing Chicago and instead focus on Orange Man Bad.
Indeed, Democrats’ only policy at this point to incentivize voters seems to be vilifying Donald Trump. Their other policies are all so awful — illegal immigration, economic idiocy, climate tyranny, taxpayer-funded abortions, protecting criminals, child transgenderism, attacking parental rights, etc. — that their one hope is to convince voters that Trump is the embodiment of evil, worse than Hitler. Meanwhile, expect more mass shootings and assaults from crazed leftists.
A reporter told Pritzker, as he walked along the waterfront, “You’re going to hear people, especially this past weekend — 54 shot, seven dead—.” Pritzker here said, “Yeah,” in a bored voice and shook his head. The reporter continued, “They’re going to say, ‘The city is not safe.’ Would you ask your friends to ride the L [train] after midnight, or after, you know, nine o’clock at night, even, to get down to the city from O’Hare [Airport]?” By the way, the statistic has since been updated to eight killed and 58 injured last weekend.
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker's solution to Chicago's violent crime? Just deal with it. Trump is the problem!

REPORTER: 54 shot, 7 dead, they're gonna say the city's not safe.
PRITZKER: Look, big cities have crime. Let's just pay attention to what President Trump is doing. pic.twitter.com/1jGfXKO0W2
Pritzker all but blew off her concerns. “Look, big cities have crime,” he stated calmly. “There’s no doubt about it. But let’s just pay attention to what President Trump is doing in targeting Chicago, he’s overlooking red states that have much higher crime rates.” This, by the way, is simply not true. All but one of the cities with the highest crime in the nation are run by Democrats, even if some of them are in red states.

The main point, however, is that Pritzker, like so many other Democrats, seems to despise his constituents and have no issue with their suffering and dying as long as he attains his own political goals. The real mystery is why anyone at all would still be voting Democrat when they are such blatant elitists.
It is the same attitude that drives Democrats to give jobs at cheaper wages and in worse working conditions to illegal aliens, thus depriving illegal aliens of fairness and American citizens of employment opportunities. The Democrats claim that only imported foreign labor is fit for certain jobs, not because the jobs lack usefulness or respectability, but because the entitled politicians wrongly look down on anyone who holds the jobs. Illegal alien workers are underpaid, American workers lose out, and Democrats pat themselves on the back with smug arrogance.
Perhaps the worst example recently of this entitled indifference is how Democrats managed to turn the mass shooting by an anti-Trump, anti-Christian, anti-Jewish transgender at a Minneapolis Catholic school into an excuse for bashing prayer and praising transgenderism. They couldn’t even pretend not to hate religion and admire mental illness long enough to fake empathy with the grieving families.
That's because you and I are not important in the Democrats’ grand scheme of things. They really do still have the mentality of slave-owning plantation owners, just as they did in the 19th century. They still want to be the privileged aristocrats with absolute control over the lives of those they consider to be inherently inferior. Hopefully, at some point, Illinois voters will wake up to reality and vote themselves off the Democrat political plantation.
