Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson sparked outrage by comparing President Trump’s administration to the Confederate States of America. During a heated press conference, Johnson claimed America under Trump resembles “what our country would look like had the Confederacy won.” He called Trump a “tyrant” and labeled immigration enforcement raids as “terrorism,” insisting federal agents are assaulting Chicagoans’ constitutional rights.
Johnson doubled down on his Civil War-era comparison, suggesting Trump’s policies mimic Jefferson Davis’ Confederacy rather than Abraham Lincoln’s leadership. He accused the president of dismantling checks and balances, creating a “one-branch government” where Congress remains silent. The mayor vowed Chicago would resist federal authority, declaring the city a sanctuary for those opposing Trump’s immigration crackdowns.
Conservatives blasted Johnson’s remarks as unhinged and historically illiterate. The Confederacy fought to preserve slavery – not contest immigration policy – making the comparison wildly inaccurate. Critics argue the mayor’s rhetoric undermines law enforcement while ignoring Chicago’s rampant crime crisis. Over 40 people were shot last weekend alone as the city struggles with gang violence.
Johnson’s administration faces collapsing public trust, with polls showing him as America’s least popular mayor. His focus on attacking Trump contrasts sharply with residents’ demands for safer streets and better schools. Local business owners complain his open-borders stance attracts illegal immigrants who strain social services while violent criminals roam free.
The mayor’s “terrorism” claims reference recent ICE operations targeting violent offenders in Chicago. Federal officials stress these raids prioritize deporting convicted criminals, not law-abiding residents. Johnson’s refusal to cooperate with ICE has turned the city into a magnet for illegal immigration, costing taxpayers millions annually.
Patriots nationwide reject Johnson’s attempt to smear constitutional immigration enforcement as racist. They note Trump’s policies simply enforce laws that previous administrations ignored. The mayor’s Confederate analogy dishonors Union soldiers who died defeating actual slavery while trivializing modern border security needs.
Chicago protests against ICE have blocked major highways, punishing commuters and small businesses. Demonstrators chant anti-Trump slogans while waving Mexican flags – a slap to Americans demanding sovereignty. Meanwhile, Johnson spends more time virtue-signaling to far-left activists than fixing potholes or hiring police.
This latest outburst confirms Johnson cares more about woke posturing than serving Chicagoans. Hardworking Americans want secure borders, safe neighborhoods, and leaders who put citizens first. The mayor’s Confederate fantasies reveal a radical agenda out of touch with real patriotism – proving why conservatives must keep fighting to save our nation from such extremism.
