So, Mayor Brandon Johnson is rocking a whopping 26% approval rating. That’s not “bad”… that’s “your mom won’t even vote for you” bad. For context, that’s lower than a Bears quarterback completion rate in December. 🏈
Here’s the plot twist:
On one side, you’ve got reform activists yelling, “Fewer cops, more kumbaya circles!” ✌️
On the other, you’ve got regular Chicagoans and the police saying, “How about some actual safety, please?” 🚔
But Johnson? He’s stuck in the middle like Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels arguing over who’s dumber.
And what are his greatest hits?
👉 Weakening the police force.
👉 Telling federal agencies, “Nah, we’re good.”
👉 Trading immediate safety for long-term “maybe it’ll work in 20 years” social programs.
👉 Cutting budgets for training, oversight, and manpower.
So now, cops feel handcuffed (literally) and citizens feel like extras in a bad crime documentary. Both sides frustrated. Both sides angry. The only thing uniting Chicago right now? Everyone’s asking the same question:
“How did we end up in a real-life Dumb and Dumber sequel, and why is the Mayor starring in it?” 🤦♂️
