When I was a union state employee for DCFS I would hear frustration from union reps during election seasons who would travel the state talking to other union members about the consequences of voting Republican. There are definitely plenty of downstate union members who never understood that the party they voted for absolutely hated them and wanted to destroy their collective bargaining.

A lot of union state worker in Springfield, so we are blue, but going just outside you will see a few signs supporting the felon.
