Can Illinois Become a Red State? All Signs Point to Yes!

Written by Richard Hartian

Illinois has long been held as a blue state and a powerful one for the far-left liberal cause.

But things are changing. You can feel it in the air and see it in the way people are acting and talking.

Not long ago, conservatives in Illinois often felt and acted as though we needed to hide in the corners. We were grateful when people stood up, but for the most part, we kept quiet. At a minimum we were very careful with what we said, especially when it came to social media.

Things have changed – and everyone knows it.

And everyone includes the left leaning media – On November 19^th 2024, WTTW started their investigative piece by Jared Rutecki with:

“It wasn’t a sea change, but voting behavior shifted in Chicago and the state of Illinois, mirroring the rest of the nation and sweeping President-elect Donald Trump into office for a second term.”

What is happening in America is akin to 2 Chronicles 36:22-23 where God raised up Cyrus the King of Persia to rebuild the temple in Jerusalem. By an overwhelming majority, American citizens have spoken and want a rebuilding of America’s government from the ground up.

Across the racial divide, minorities are being awakened by the opportunity for change; something that has been hard to see with the controlled corporate media that has kept truth locked away for decades. Now with alternative media and the power of individual reporting challenging the status quo, truth is no longer shackled.  And with it comes a freedom for all of Illinois to see it.

I have the utmost confidence that change is coming to Illinois. I believe in the people of Illinois and our shared desire to see good done to one’s neighbor and for ourselves.  I believe in people because I believe that God has placed his laws of good and evil into man’s mind (Hebrews 8:10).

My reason for hope.

Throughout my business life, I have traveled all over Illinois, and I have spent more time than most in some of the most abandoned areas of Chicago. I’ve worshipped in their churches and worked with their non-profits. I have found friends in places where Illinois politicians promise good things but never deliver. I loved the people I met, and they loved me. They are the people who will save Illinois from the most destructive, obtrusive and vile laws that are being forced on our state and its people.

Why? Because by and large, the minority community is predominately a moral community. They are good people with incredible hearts and love for their family, church and their neighborhoods, and now they have something that is most dangerous to the liberal left. They have hope. And that hope will bring about change.

In record numbers they voted against what the current Democratic party stands for:

• Open borders allowing anyone to cross
• Sanctuary cities and making illegal immigrants a priority over their own citizens
• No restrictions on abortion
• Biological males in women’s sports and bathrooms
• DEI initiatives throughout state and local government thus ignoring better qualified candidates
• Against commonsense voter ID laws
• Pro Hamas / Anti-Israel
• Making Illinois an abortion destination to neighboring states
• Taxpayers to pay for other’s student loans
• Transgender story time with children
• Against parental rights
• Against homeschool
• Against educational choice
• Legalization of harmful drugs for recreational use
• Attempting to legalize prostitution enslaving our daughters and sons
• Working to legalize assisted suicide
• Taxes, taxes and more taxes

There is more, and people are waking up to it while the political blue party doubles down and works to pass laws to further entrench and enslave Illinois citizens.

Looking back over the last thirty years, the same time period that the democrats have held the majority, Illinois has lost, sold or given away many of its freedoms and resources.

But change is coming, and its undeniable. There is no better time to be an Illinois citizen. Join me and watch hope become a reality and enjoy what freedom in Illinois looks like. Safer neighborhoods, the best schooling for our children, and a feeling that the weight has been lifted.

Join me and pray that God blesses Illinois.
