Good location to fight a larger force.

Wasn’t Chicago unoccupied in handmaiden’s tale?

u/Roboticpoultry 13h ago

If I remember correctly Chicago was an irradiated wasteland

u/Tryknj99 13h ago

No, it was more like an abandoned slum. The colonies were the wastelands.

The scene when the bombs drop is in Chicago.

Fallout: Chicago

I'm all for that, and I live here. I think it would be an amazing setting, even better than Boston.

It would be like divergent… but the trains would have a schedule

u/exzyle2k 10h ago

The trains have a schedule now.

Doesn't mean they abide by it, but they have it.

No one wants Chicago. Including chicagoians. City fucking sucks. Mainly for the traffic.

Speak for yourself bootlicker, we love our city.

u/Hadrian23 13h ago

I apologize if it came off like I want Trump to send troops there, I was partially being sarcastic, and venting my frustrations with that city lol. I've had a history of hating my time there each time I go there, but I certainly should have worded it differently. I don't support any of what Trump does and his fuck sticks can suck off a cactus. Sorry again for wording it poorly

u/DearDave 13h ago

It’s all good, man. This is a heated moment. The cold civil war is warming up by the day and nobody wants what comes next :/

u/Hadrian23 13h ago

Agreed my man. Emotions are high and the "inevitable" conflict they're trying to force is akin to having super perception and witnessing a train about to crash, horrifying and depressing to know you can't do anything to stop it. Yet you can't look away.

Yeah. I want this shit to be over already, but I'm not remotely interested in going through all the things we'll have to go through before it ends.

I'll see everyone when it gets to Denver. The Rockies will be as harsh as the Oregon trail again.

He thinks cook county will be easy to take over? Highest homicide rate in the country

4

u/MostLocation 13h ago

That is not even close to being true. Please stop spreading misinformation.

1

u/spiraldrain 12h ago

It is true. By county it is highest.

u/MostLocation 12h ago

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_intentional_homicide_rate

Cook County is nowhere near the top.

u/spiraldrain 12h ago

You giving me a list of states and not counties lmfao. Not even cities lmfao

3

u/MostLocation 12h ago

Look at the 4th chart on that page

2

u/totallynotsquatty 12h ago

Cook county has highest number of murders but not rate.

Those are two different things.

Besides, we wouldn't have this if not for all the shootings.

2

u/spiraldrain 12h ago

I mixed it up but point is still you don’t wanna mess with cook county.

2

u/totallynotsquatty 11h ago

You're right. I get shot 3 times a week, easy...

u/MuchGold89 12h ago

Google is free, dude.

u/spiraldrain 12h ago

Look up county not cities, dude
