Illinois is ran by Chicago liberals and is too damn cold. Missouri isn't much warmer. When I leave Illinois, it will be somewhere warm.
Got a little of everything really, from rice fields and river life in the SE, Iowa weather and farming in the NE, blending into the western plainland in the NW, and a short drive to the Oklahoma casinos in the SW...plus wooded mountains and fishing rivers in the south central part where I am...but mainly we're not overrun with Democrats or other scum outside of some big reservations on the I-70 corridor.
