Trump’s rage on Chicago is the latest manifestation of conservative rage against Chicago’s gang violence.
The gang violence is largely concentrated in the predominantly-black Southside.
The Southside of Chicago has always been a destination for the working class.
The Irish working class settled there for low skill jobs, committed violence against each other in gang warfare and killed Black working class emigres in race riots because they competed for jobs. The Black working class of the Deep South migrated to the Southside for low skill jobs and committed violence against each other in gang warfare.
Guess which group had more ability to get out of that hood?
Guess who is still stuck in the Southside after the low skill jobs have left?
This desire for hamfisted martial law against the Southside will score him points among his White conservative supporters.
None of those supporters give a shit about what produces young Black men killing each other in the Southside. They want explosions.
Get out of the Southside while you still can.
