— Why Americans are concealing their true political beliefs – ERIN NORMAN (COMMENT: Ever-increasingly, hate-filled conservative-hating conservative-haters dominate America, Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, Wheaton, etc. Ever-increasingly voters see conservatives like me are demonized, denigrated, and condemned by my Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs. Most recently, in Wheaton, Milton Township, and DuPage County, voters see that aforesaid stopped me from raising funds from Republicans so that Republican could help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parades and fireworks.)

KPC NEWS
— COMMENT: According to this letter, “Many conservative teachers in Indiana decline union membership due to woke political alignment.” What if I had declined union membership while I worked for the Post Office 1966-1969 and for IRS 1971-1980? The IRS union came to my defense when my Democrat IRS superiors disallowed my travel vouchers. SEE: https://www.gao.gov/products/b-180010.11-0 My father, a non-union office worker, never made more than $50,000/year in today’s dollars. Granted, his career advancement was frustrated by his having type 1 diabetes from childhood and his not having a college degree.)

— Britain’s Prime Minister Is India’s Pride. Meanwhile leftists at home dismiss Rishi Sunak as inauthentic. – Tunku Varadarajan
https://www.wsj.com/articles/britains-prime-minister-is-indias-pride-rishi-sunak-liz-truss-anticolonialism-language-immigrant-ethnicity-grievance-11666729362
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Rishi Sunak is prime minister. And not of India but of Britain. The most striking aspect of his ascent to his country’s highest political office is that his race—ethnic Indian—is hardly mentioned by Brits. When it is, it is mostly by British Indians of the left who claim that he isn’t authentically “brown.” This is the classic canard with which progressives dismiss people from ethnic minorities who haven’t surrendered to the narrative of racial grievance.)

— Are Republicans More Conservative Than Democrats Are Liberal? – Katharina Buchholz (COMMENT: From what I see from being a Wheaton resident since 1978, a Republican Precinct Committeeman in Wheaton since 1999, the GOPUSA Illinois Editor since 2000, the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, and an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member 2003-2007, tragically, at least since 1999, as more and more and more Democrats have moved in, a) Wheaton, Milton Township, and DuPage County has not been majority conservative and b) the conservative percentage has decreased dramatically.)
https://www.forbes.com/sites/katharinabuchholz/2022/10/25/are-republicans-more-conservative-than-democrats-are-liberal-infographic/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: In July of 2022, 42% of self-described Democrats described themselves as moderates or conservatives, opposite 58% who considered themselves liberals. The gap is even bigger in the Republican Party, where 77% identified as conservatives, whereas only 23% said of themselves that they were moderates or liberals. According to the survey, this makes Republicans in fact a whole lot more conservative than Democrats are liberal.)
