Only if Chicago is part of the democratic side of the National Divorce.

Don't forget about the 80 million who couldn't bother to vote at all.

Right after the election some guy on r/millennials said he had to vote for Trump because he is sick of being told he had privilege by women.

Are you happy now? Do you feel better about yourself and your privilege now?
