One of the maddening things that was displayed during the 2016 presidential campaign was the tendency for Republicans to be accused of racism if they point out problems that disproportionately affect black Americans in the context of trying to find solutions. And as Democrats have an established history of touting high poverty and unemployment rates among blacks while trying to push for more welfare spending and higher taxes, or of highlighting shootings in inner cities in the name of pushing for more gun restrictions, they are seen by liberals as compassionate for taking notice.

In Illinois, Lincoln's essential premise of "government of the people, by the people and for the people" has been corrupted into "government of the casinos, by the casinos, and for the casinos"-as exemplified by the new casino legislation in Senate Bill 7. In 2015, U.S. Congressional hearings highlighted that much of the Illinois bankruptcy was precipitated by $35 billion to $100 billion in giveaways since 1990 to gambling interests - diverting funds particularly away from essential education funding. For example, the original 10 Illinois casino licenses worth $5 billion were given away for only $25,000 each to political insiders, including one insider who thereafter went to prison.
