Those who vote for Democrats are overwhelmingly liberal/moderate, minority, female, younger, non-Protestant, non-German American, lack education and/or job skills, have severe health, financial, and/or other problems, etc.

— The last time that Illinois voted red in a presidential election was 1988. Politics and government are nasty and vicious. What were you doing in 1988? I was one of an extremely few Republicans working for the Democrats who ran GAO’s Chicago office. My Democrat GAO superiors were furious that George HW Bush won. They took their anger out on me. They threw me off audits of IRS, they gave me an extremely bad job assignment, they turned my subordinates against me, they gave me unfair performance expectations and an extremely unfair performance appraisal, they ranked me at the bottom of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, they made it clear that they never assign me to audits of IRS again. Yes, there were other factors at play. I had just become an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged my Democrat GAO superiors with reverse discrimination, age discrimination, and retaliation. I should write a book about the aforesaid and its aftermath.

WBEZ
— Access to IVF in Illinois is unequal. A ballot referendum could help change that. A WBEZ analysis found almost all Illinois babies born in 2023 with the help of fertility treatments had moms with private insurance. (COMMENT: I should write a book about my Democrat GAO superiors who punished me the most because my wife and I gave up trying to have children without trying IVF, we did not adopt, and we did not become foster parents. They all had children and spouses who had little or no income. They all had less education than I had, had no professional certifications or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had. The all hinted/implied/argued/shouted that if my wife and I had children, I would not have been able to a) pass the CPA examination on my first attempt in 1979, b) earn a master’s degree in accounting from DePaul in 1980, c) pass the Certified Internal Auditor examination on my first attempt in 1981, or d) become a licensed CPA in 1981.)

CHICAGO DEFENDER

UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO
— The false promise of meritocracy and its effects on inequality. (COMMENT: According to my critics/opponents, I owe none of my successes in life to meritocracy. They attribute all my successes in life to my benefitting from discrimination against those who are liberal, moderate, Democrat, Libertarian, Green, Independent, RINO, minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, unmarried, parents, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those whose parents have/had lots of money, who bought them cars, who paid for their colleges expenses, and/or who got them jobs.)

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can/will defend/advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. Anticipate/expect that Democrat and RINO leaders will blame the following planks in the Republican Party platform for all the defeats that Republican candidates suffer on November 5, 2024: personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, illegal drugs, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving). RINO candidates, elected officials, and party leaders fail/refuse to defend/advance the aforesaid planks. They reject some, many, most, if not all of the aforesaid planks. That is why Republican candidates lose. I should write a book about those Republican candidates, elected officials, and party leaders in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton since 2000 who have rejected the most planks in the Republican Party platform. – Dave Diersen

Democrats and RINOs are turning America over to citizens of foreign countries who will destroy America.)

To make way for the aforesaid, they wasted the careers of and got rid of their Republican employees like me who were White, male, older, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. I should write a book about the aforesaid.)
