Originally I thought it said 66% and I thought that’s much higher than I would have ever guessed and then I saw the decimal point and realized I overestimated his approval by 1,000%. Simple mistake on my part and honestly impressive to be that low when you consider how friendly people are. And in that spirit, I think it’s actually a good spin zone to say Brandon Johnson is bringing the city together. It’s a united front unlike anything I’ve witnessed: people have joined together for their hate against the mayor’s office.
Is it too unrealistic to suggest Brandon could ride this wave of unity to another term?
It sounds wild, but I can definitely see Mayor Bozo Buckets standing in front of a podium, explaining to William Kelly that NO MAYOR IN HISTORY HAS BUILT THIS MUCH CONSENSUS
We agree YOU SUCK
And that’s what makes Brandon Johnson such a force in local politics. He actually believes the words that come out of his mouth – absolutely oblivious to his own stupidity. It’s truly incredible and exactly why he’s on the wrong side of a 10% approval rating.
Speaking of which. They said 700 people responded to the survey, which means 43 of 700 respondents support Brandon Johnson. That’s like a road game in the movie Hoosiers. Just a really mean and hostile environment of BOOS and we’re talking about the #1 elected official for the people. Really makes you think.
Specifically, here’s my top replacements:
- Anyone else
- What about a golf professional from Beverly?
- Rahm Emanuel
- Paul Valas but he’s only allowed to say 10,000 words a day
- Jim Graziano or Joe Flamm or both
- Pink Monkey ownership group
- A lawyer from Skokie
- Mike Madigan (from prison)
- The guy who runs the 16-inch hall of fame in Forest Park (Geno)
That’s my list. You guys can make your own lists. And if everyone in Chicago followed suit, I would imagine we’d have a list of about 20,000,000 names and not one would be worse than Brandon Johnson.
That’s how much that guy moans and it’s actually sad to think he’ll be in the record books as one of our mayors. Kinda scary we let the Teachers Union ever get that powerful but that’s a different blog.
For now I just want to personally admit that it’s such a relief to have my family and home removed from the chaos of bad leadership. And don’t get me wrong – there’s plenty of trade offs when you live 50 miles outside of Chicago in the corn fields. There’s plenty of stuff I miss that you can only get in a big city, and a lot of stuff unique to Chicago. But to not have to pay property taxes for this guy and be subject to the daily crime and overwhelming toxicity has really been a nice change of pace and I’d be a scumbag liar for saying anything less.
