Chicago reacted to the failure of Lesbian of Color and Beetlejuice lookalike Lori Lightfoot by electing someone even further to the left, the ultramoonbat Brandon Johnson. This appeared to plunge Chicago into the final stages of the Democrat Death Spiral. Yet there might still be hope of the Windy City escaping the fate of formerly wealthy Detroit. At least residents are not pleased with what they inflicted on themselves:

An overwhelming 79.9 percent of Chicago residents disapprove of Johnson’s leadership, while only 6.6 percent view the Democrat favorably, according to a poll that M3 Strategies released on Saturday. The mayor’s favorability rating is even lower than in October of last year, when Johnson became the most unpopular mayor in Chicago history.

If you can’t sell race-based moonbattery in the city that launched the pernicious careers of Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, and Barack Obama, demand has truly cratered.

Chicagoans are especially unhappy about Johnson displacing them at their own extravagant expense with hordes of illegal aliens:

Johnson has long faced backlash over his handling of Chicago’s migrant crisis, with residents decrying his proposed tax hike to cover a budget deficit as the city spends over half a billion dollars on migrant shelters. The mayor, though, has criticized the Trump administration’s response to the crisis, saying that arresting and deporting illegal immigrants is “attempting to get us to surrender our humanity.”

Some have learned not to cower in submission when leftists who impose poverty sanctimoniously brandish words like “humanity.”

Now for the bad news. The next Mayor of Chicago will be another Democrat.

At least they can’t repeat their last mistake by sinking still deeper in wokery. Other than possibly Keith Olbermann, there is no one to the left of Brandon Johnson.
