> There’s a political ad in Illinois (ex-Democrat mayor of Aurora running as Republican for governor) that starts with a siren and someone yelling GET DOWN! GET DOWN! He’s emphasizing his military service but also tying the idea of an actual warzone to Illinois being a warzone of crime.

_Black_ mayor of Aurora with a BLM = “Antifa” = “radical woke mobs” schtick. I’ve [pitted](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/new-stupid-republican-idea-of-the-day-part-2/959018/639) [him](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/new-stupid-republican-idea-of-the-day-part-2/959018/653) for that, having heard his ads while listening to streaming audio from a radio station in Kankakee.
