— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD WITH BIG PICTURE: DD: The mainstream news media exists a) to elect Democrats and b) to defeat Republicans. Democrat leaders ever-increasingly promote Democrat leaders. Democrat leaders will ever-increasingly use their November 3, 2026 victories to destroy Republicans, and especially to destroy Republicans who are conservative, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, gun owner, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. I should write about how DuPage County Republican leaders welcomed invading Democrats with open arms and how they dumped conservatives to curry favor with them.

GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Democrat control of the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House will harm everyone and harm everything big time. It will especially harm Republicans who are conservative, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. Needless-to-say, the more of the aforesaid that you are, the more that you should be doing to protect yourself. Ever-increasingly, Democrats will use government to take away your income, assets, rights, opportunities, firearms, and everything else and give it all to Democrats who are liberal, non-White, female, younger, LGBTQ, unmarried, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. Sadly, anticipate/expect, that to save themselves, more and more and more Republicans will not only become Democrats, they will become liberal, LGBTQ, unmarried, and/or non-Protestant. – Dave Diersen

— Political messaging. Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. My critics/opponents have always been extremely critical of my political messaging. They blame me and they blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for all the defeats that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct have suffered since 2000. According to them, I have always been too conservative because I have always promoted the personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, anti-vice, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving), and other planks in the Republican Party platform, planks that they reject. They want the aforesaid planks to be officially stricken from the platform. They want me to stop sending out my newsletters. They demonize me, denigrate me, and condemn me as being a Trump supporter. Previously, they blamed Republican defeats on what I did as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012 and as an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007. At best, my critics/opponents want the Republican Party to be the Democrat Lite Party. What do you say to my critics/opponents? – Dave Diersen

— Anticipate/expect that autopsies of the November 3, 2026 Republican defeats done by Democrats, RINOs, and Democrat plants will call for the Republican Party a) to officially dump Trump, b) to officially become the Democrat Lite Party by officially dumping the following planks in the Republican Party platform: personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, anti-vice, Second Amendment, and equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving), and c) to officially dump conservatives once and for all. – Dave Diersen

— QUESTION: What should Republican candidates stress to win elections? ANSWER: They should stress how following conservative principles made them successful. Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. To follow conservative principles includes taking responsibility for your life, becoming a productive member of society, complying with laws, regulations, and rules, limiting immediate pleasures, avoiding vices, getting the best ACT score and GPAs that you can, earning the best/most college degrees, professional certifications, and professional licenses that you can, getting married and having children if you can, getting the fastest/most promotions that you can, saving the most for your retirement, etc. – Dave Diersen

— How much experience do you have working for Democrats? I worked for the Democrats who ran GAO 1980-1997, IRS 1971-1980, and Post Office 1966-1969. My Republican critics/opponents have little or no experience working for Democrats. Because of that, they fail/refuse to see how bad Democrats are. Because I was not a Democrat, minority, female, or veteran, my Democrat superiors wasted my career, took many big adverse actions against me, and forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997. For Democrat leaders, the federal government exists to hire, retain, and promote Democrats, and especially Democrats who are minority, female, younger, and/or veteran. – Dave Diersen

BLOOMBERG
— DD: Democrat leaders ever-increasingly promote populism. DD: According to Google AI, the core characteristics of populism are: “The Us vs. Them Framework: Divides society into two antagonistic groups—the morally pure and hard-working people versus a self-interested or corrupt establishment such as politicians, big business, mainstream media, or cultural institutions. Appeal to Popular Sovereignty: Claims to be the sole authentic voice of the true people, asserting that supreme power should rest directly with the masses rather than mediated through complex institutional checks and balances. Anti-Establishment Sentiment: Expresses deep distrust of traditional political parties, expert consensus, and formal bureaucratic or judicial oversight. Charismatic Leadership: Often relies on a central figure who projects a direct, unfiltered bond with the public, frequently bypassing conventional norms or decorum.”

BUSINESS INSIDER
— Mamdani wasn’t on the ballot in the midterms, but his affordability playbook was everywhere. The United States of Mamdani. Life is too expensive. Democrats finally figured out how to talk about it — and they sound a lot like the New York City mayor. DD: What have you done to afford things? I did far more than my peers to afford things. I worked my way through college and I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree when I was 21 in 1970. I worked two jobs 1971-1972. I earned a) job-related master’s degrees in 1976, 1980, and 1997, b) job-related professional certifications in 1979, 1981, 1990, 1994, 1996, and 1997, and c) a job-related professional license in 1981. But according to my critics/opponents, I was able to do the aforesaid only because I avoided the Vietnam War draft, because of my wife’s income, and because we gave up trying to have children.
