MILWAUKEE — Patricia Easley (aka “P Rae”) seems like a one-woman army, an unstoppable force — like the former president and GOP presidential candidate she adores. But this human dynamo is going up against the immovable object of entrenched Democrat politics in the lives of what she sees as ideologically enslaved black Chicagoans.
Decked out in an American flag shirt — proudly bearing her home state and accented with cartoon Donald Trumps — and a red “Make America Great Again” sun hat to shield herself from the late-afternoon Milwaukee sun, Easley was taking it to the streets Monday just outside the Republican National Convention’s secured campus. Scrapping with the protesting leftists screaming obscenities about Trump to no one in particular, this West Chicago resident seems to be one happy warrior for the conservative cause.

Easley is the founder of ChicagoRed, a “movement” of “Independent and Conservative voters” dedicated to the tall order of swinging Chicago right. Easley doesn’t see herself as the black Don Quixote, though. She says more than 100 people have joined the fledgling group since launching in March, and she says Chicago hasn’t seen nothing yet.
“Our goal is to get people away from the mentality of liberal failure that is happening in our city,” P Rae told me. “Our grandparents ran from the south to this city, and they met the same people in the north who continue to terrorize them and their children.”
