Why Chicago? Not American but curious.
Chicago is a major democratic leaning city infamous for its association with lawlessness and organized crime. Reality is that Chicago cleaned up with the other cities but it maintains a rambunctious similar to LA and Philadelphia. But it's still got a local culture of early 20th century gangsters like Al Capone and other Italian Americans with submachine guns.
The entire great lakes region that includes Chicago had a pretty rough time from the 70s-00s, with other cities in it including Detroit, Cleveland, Buffalo, and Toronto as well as tiny hellholes of deindustrialization like Gary.
Chicago is also notably a very black city, especially by Midwestern standards. During the great migration (when a bunch of black people left the rural southern areas their ancestors had been enslaved in and went to urban areas largely in the north and west), Chicago was one of the major destinations as there was a lot of work that didn't involve farm labor.
So yeah mocking Chicago sometimes will have racist implications (though this applies to any great lakes city when compared to the overwhelmingly white rural and suburban Midwest).

Probably several real reasons... and i think he just throws shit at the wall until he finds something that sticks but this one stuck because among his followers it ticks several boxes...
He already did a dry run in Los Angeles, literally chasing harmless day laborers through Home Depot parking lots. Newsom (Cali Gov) made it more difficult by trolling him on social media. (I realize how insane that sounds but he just has the temperament of a teenage boy). So he is probably thinking of something even more insane to do to us in Cali or at least knows he's playing with fire.
New York he is lowkey working on a deal with Cuomo (former mayor now running as a spoiler candidate to the socialist who beat him in the primary election).
Chicago is an easier target. The only other city I've heard him float is New Orleans (which is unlike any other city I've been to in the states for its amazing seafood, bars, walkable areas, music, eg culture... notably Black culture)
His mostly rural base loves it. Not only is it cities that they have been other-ing and blaming [insert South Park - They took 'er jobs meme] for their problems their whole lives. It is also abuse of minorities. So it is like saying "you know how you complain about cities and they happen to be brown and black. Im going to fix that problem and it just so happens to be by going after those people who don't look like you. wink wink, nudge nudge"
The Midwest has a weird relationship with Chicago. It's our city dammit, but it's thought of as a shithole because of a long history of it being a shithole and also because of a long history of it being used as a byword for dangerous urban areas. People who hadn't been there in a decade were calling it Chiraq so much that my phone recognized the word. As a teenager (late 00s and early 10s) the far right edgelords would joke about bombing it like they did about Tehran. But it's also a costal city with all the limp wristed elite dogwhistles and homophobia. Which is a little funny because Chicago gay culture is tough as fuck. But yeah and there's the racism which is huge and is an undercurrent of it all.
So yeah it's the Midwest's own Al Capone themed LA, but the sky is trying to kill you not fires and earthquakes.

Who'd win? Are we going by Heads of State or do constitutional monarchs sit this one out?
They have royal pie takers who, according to the Magna Carta, have to stand in.

To the world: someone please come liberate us from us.
wrote last edited by [email protected]No, we're good. I know some people from the U.S., who still think nothing is wrong with the government. So we got to let the dumpster fire burn out a bit more.

Lincoln or Roosevelt, or hell maybe George Washington. Trump out before they ring the bell.

dude honestly thinks he is the shit. If there was ever a pit fight between world presidents, I would bet money on him losing his first fight in the first five seconds.
Him v Lincoln , the ex wrestler who fights till he's burger?

He plays the mainstream media like a fiddle.
It's not that difficult now after multiple decades of decay for media organizations caused by "this quarter is all that matters" business idiot administration.

I understand you, and I feel the same. But let's be real. We both know it's true. It's outrageous, it's dumb, it's aggressive and hateful, that's exactly up his ally.
It's fucking Cheungus making these things. Dude's like the incel m'lady in chief.

We just got it on DVD. It's the "Redux" edition. 3 hours 22 mins. It's the 6th longest movie in our collection behind LoTR extendeds, Beh-Hur, and Lawrence of Arabia.
I had the redux years ago. I've come around to the theatrical being the best though.

Insurrection is grounds to declare martial law, remove those in power, and halt elections. He has to push hard enough to force people to fight back.

If historical figures allowed, monarchs definitely yes. I want to see Queen Elizabeth on a horse kicking assess.
