“Never before in my life have I called for mass protests, for mobilization, for disruption, but I am now. These Republicans cannot know a moment of peace,” Pritzker declared to the enthusiastic liberal crowd.

Pritzker continued, “They have to understand that we will fight their cruelty with every megaphone and microphone that we have. We must castigate them on the soapbox and then punish them at the ballot box.”

This isn’t the usual garden-variety liberal whining; it’s an outright call to arms, a tired but dangerous maneuver pulled straight from the left’s playbook to incite chaos whenever it's knocked out of power. As we’ve documented repeatedly, the Democratic Party’s poll numbers have plummeted to historic lows, and now it's scrambling for any message that can ignite its radicalized base. The strategy couldn’t be more obvious; when desperation sets in, Democrats fall back on the only tactic they know — fueling social unrest, just like they did during the 2020 BLM riots.

Pritzker’s speech was no off-the-cuff moment. It was a carefully staged move by a presidential hopeful desperate for national relevance. Delivering this rant in New Hampshire — a critical early primary state — he wasn’t just rallying the base; he was auditioning for 2028, plain and simple. 

His hypocritical attack on “do-nothing Democrats” who blame electoral losses on woke extremism reeks of irony considering the disaster he’s presided over in Illinois. This is the same man who slammed Trump’s efforts to restore law and order, railed against so-called constitutional “overreach,” and proudly signed a law making Illinois a sanctuary state for minors seeking to mutilate their bodies at the hands of the transgender cult.

And let’s not kid ourselves — Pritzker isn’t going rogue here. You can practically smell the coordinated Democrat strategy to weaponize unrest, just like Democrats shamelessly did during Trump’s first term. Look at the silly sit-in protest on the Capitol steps that's going on right now. Democrats have no idea how to lead; they only know how to be whiny protesters.

With Democrats reeling after one electoral humiliation after another, Pritzker’s call for disruption isn’t about principle—it’s a desperate gamble to rally the radicals and terrify moderates into submission. They’re betting big on manufactured crisis — think riots, blockades, violence — to paint Republicans as villains and try to seize control in 2026 and beyond. But the American people are smarter than they think. They see through this pathetic charade. Pritzker and his fellow travelers aren’t fighting for justice; they’re planning a scorched-earth campaign to burn it all down if they can’t have their way.
