http://www.wicz.com/story/42219904/the-partisan-chasm-over-systemic-racism-is-on-full-display
(FROM THE ARTICLE: The throngs of protesters demanding systemic changes in policing are marching directly into one of the deepest chasms between the two political parties. The belief that widespread racism is no longer a problem in American society has become one of the core convictions uniting the modern Republican coalition, especially in the Donald Trump era, polls have found. Several academic studies found the belief that discrimination against minorities (and women) is no longer a problem was a far better predictor of support for Trump in 2016 than economic anxiety. Democrats of all races, by contrast, are much more likely to say that discrimination against African Americans, including in their interactions with police, remains a structural feature of American society. In surveys by the nonpartisan Public Religion Research Institute, Americans who support Trump were far more likely than those who don’t to say that police shootings of black men are only isolated incidents and to claim that discrimination against whites is now as great a problem as bias against minorities. This contrast looms heavily over the partisan reaction to the current eruption of protest. Since George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis last month, a chorus of prominent conservative voices have insisted it is a “lie” to describe racial discrimination as a pervasive problem. And, while some polls conducted amid the upsurge of protest hint that more Republicans may see discrimination as a problem, generally the surveys have documented the persistence of a huge gap between the parties on the issue. That divergence has big implications for both policy and politics. In policy terms, it helps explain why Trump’s Justice Department, while initiating an inquiry into the specific circumstances of Floyd’s death, has effectively shelved efforts under former President Barack Obama to examine systematic bias in city police departments through so-called pattern and practice investigations. Appearing Sunday on CBS’ “Face the Nation,” Attorney General William Barr rejected such an investigation of the Minneapolis Police Department and argued that while individual “bad cops” remain a problem in forces around the country, “I don’t think that the law enforcement system is systemically racist.” Politically, the heightened focus on police behavior and racial inequities more broadly could compel Trump to squeeze out bigger margins and turnout from the white constituencies most skeptical that racism remains a widespread problem, in order to offset what could be a further decline in November among the groups in all races that do consider bias an enduring blight on American life. In that way, this latest crisis could force Trump to further double down on the underlying political bet he is imposing on the GOP: squeezing bigger margins from shrinking groups at the price of alienating groups in society that are growing. Brian Schaffner, a political scientist at Tufts University who has conducted some of the central research on the role of racist and sexist attitudes in the 2016 vote, says that prospect leaves Trump navigating a very thin path. Comparing the election results in 2018 with those in 2016, his research found that House Republican candidates lost more ground among voters who agree that racism and sexism remain problems than they gained among those who do not. “In 2018, Republican House candidates paid a pretty significant penalty for being tied to his racist and sexist views,” Schaffner says. Trump faces the same risk in November, he believes. Partisan opinion gap emerges — and widens American public opinion about race is complex and contradictory, and, particularly among whites, it has not moved in a straight line. But the general pattern is that for decades most Americans, especially whites, concluded — despite evidence to the contrary — that the civil rights revolution of the 1960s defanged racial discrimination and created a situation in which African Americans had equal opportunity with whites. . .Trump’s reelection chances could be affected Schaffner, the political scientist, says there is “a lot to unpack” to understand why many whites, primarily but not entirely in the GOP, reject the idea that discrimination is an ongoing problem.)

— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Ever-increasingly, Trump-haters use George Floyd to demonize, denigrate, and condemn the following as being White supremacists, Nazis, KKK members, haters, racists, sexists, bigots, and even worse things who should be gotten rid of once and for all: those who are policemen, Trump supporters, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-poor, gun owners, Protestant, German American, draft avoiders, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.

(FROM THE PRESS RELEASE: The Wheaton and Glen Ellyn Police Departments are aware of a protest planned for Saturday, June 6, from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. along Roosevelt Road from Main Street in Wheaton east to Main Street in Glen Ellyn. The event is advertised by organizers as a peaceful protest in which participants are planning to hold signs along the sidewalks. Access to businesses and private drives will remain open, but we encourage customers to call ahead to check business operating hours. Protests of this nature are a protected form of the Constitutional right to free speech and assembly. We ask drivers in this area to please be cautious of increased pedestrian traffic and be aware of possible traffic delays or temporary road closures, if necessary. The Wheaton and Glen Ellyn Police Departments have been in contact with the event’s organizer, and officers from both communities will be present for everyone’s safety. We expect this will be a peaceful gathering and we respect the right of people to assemble peacefully, but we remind attendees that violent criminal acts will not be tolerated. The City of Wheaton and the Wheaton Police Department will continue to keep the community up-to-date. To receive updates, follow the City of Wheaton on Facebook and Twitter (@CityOfWheaton), sign up to receive email updates (www.wheaton.il.us/emailupdates) or visit the City’s website at www.wheaton.il.us.)

— GOP Already Has the Lock on Diversity – Stephen B. Presser (DIERSEN: What do you say to Democrat plant, Libertarian plant, Green plant, and RINO activists, candidates, elected officials, party leaders, major donors, political consultants, campaign managers, etc. who talk and/or act like they are Democrats concerning diversity? They focus on getting rid of Republicans who are Trump supporters, conservative, patriotic, White, male, older, non-poor, gun owners, Protestant, German American, draft avoiders, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.)
https://www.newsmax.com/stephenbpresser/maga-deplorables-people/2020/06/05/id/970760/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Democrats claim that Donald Trump seeks to divide America, but it’s the progressives like Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden, who maintain that there are good and bad Americans, and, presumably, that the bad should be ignored or silenced. Hillary bemoaned the “basket of deplorables” supporting Trump, and Biden dismisses “from 10 to 15 percent of the people out there who are just not very good people.” The Democratic Party is now committed to an adversarial ideology of “Us” vs. “Them.” The very core of identity politics is a marking out of groups — Women, African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, Gays and Lesbians, Transgenders, and others — groups against which America is alleged to have wrongly discriminated. Their claim is that these groups are entitled to an ameliorating redistribution of resources, to be funded by increasing taxes on the wealthy and privileged — presumably the nefarious beneficiaries of this alleged discrimination.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: This isn’t the first time Duckworth, an Iraq War veteran who lost both legs when the helicopter she was piloting was shot down, has accused Trump of being a draft dodger. In 2018, Duckworth referred to Trump as “Cadet Bone Spurs” because he received a deferment during the Vietnam War because of bone spurs in his heels. He received four college deferments as well. White House spokesman Judd Deere said in a statement: “The senator should check the facts instead of spread lies in an attempt to smear the President. These so-called peaceful protestors were throwing projectiles, climbing onto a historic building, and intelligence had showed they were prepared to escalate. Responding law enforcement followed appropriate procedure to clear the area in preparation for the 7 p.m. curfew and expand the perimeter away from one of our nation’s most historic churches, which crowds attempted to burn the night before. “As President Trump has said, we cannot allow the voices of peaceful protestors to be drowned out by angry mobs, which is why the President will continue to take decisive action to stop the violence and restore the security of all Americans.”)

CITY OF WHEATON
— Wheaton Police Department Evening Community Update
https://www.wheaton.il.us/civicalerts.aspx?AID=412
(FROM THE UPDATE: Earlier this evening Governor JB Pritzker signed a disaster proclamation to expedite the use of state resources, personnel and equipment to help municipalities keep residents safe; DuPage County was one of the nine named counties. The Governor also activated an additional 250 members of the Illinois National Guard and over a hundred Illinois State Police Troopers to support various jurisdictions throughout the state in their work to protect communities. Numerous communities surrounding Wheaton have continued to experience increased criminal activity including arson, criminal damage to property and vehicles, the looting of businesses, and some violent crime. Many of Wheaton’s businesses have chosen to board up or reduce their hours of operation during this time. The Wheaton Police Department will continue to protect our community with a heavy patrol presence in our business districts and residential neighborhoods until this ongoing countywide crisis is stabilized. The Wheaton Police Department will continue to be alert for potential threats to the community. If you witness criminal or suspicious activity, the Wheaton Police Department encourages you to get to a safe location and call 9-1-1 for police response.)

HUFFINGTON POST
— DIERSEN HEADLINE: Ever-increasingly, to call someone a racist today in America, is like calling someone a Jew in Germany during the 1930s and 1940s. Ever-increasingly, Democrats and Democrat plants, Libertarians and Libertarian plants, Greens and Green plants, and RINOs make it clear that they want to get rid of those who they call racist once and for all. Ever-increasingly, they call those who are members of the following groups racists: Trump supporters, Protestant, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older people, rich people, gun owners, German Americans, draft avoiders, and/or those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time.

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Look who’s back. Dick Uihlein, the Republican megadonor known for putting his money behind far-right candidates, just gave $5,000 to state Rep. John Cabello (R-Machesney Park), who earlier this month filed a temporary restraining order against Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s stay-at-home order, saying it was hurting small business owners. The governor has maintained it’s a matter of safety to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Uihlein and his wife, Liz, are taking a stand against the stay-at-home orders. Last month, Liz Uihlein sent a memo to employees at Uline, the couple’s shipping-supply company, urging them to support a petition calling for the recall of Democratic Gov. Tony Evers for violating their constitutional right to work during the coronavirus pandemic. The Uihleins have a history of supporting deeply conservative issues: pro-gun, anti-transgender rights, and pro-Roy Moore (the former Alabama U.S. Senate candidate accused of sexual misconduct with young girls). They were big donors in high-profile races in 2018 only to see their candidates lose, POLITICO’s Natasha Korecki wrote at the time. The Uihleins have since pulled back on — but not ended — their political giving. Along with donating to Cabello, their Americas PAC pumped more than $800,000 into funding two Senate races: Republican John James in Michigan and Sen. Joni Ernst in Iowa.)

I am no longer a TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member, Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster, Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering Committee member, American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board member, GAO employee, IRS employee, Firestone Stores employee, Post Office employee, etc. I should write a book about the past and present leaders, members, and employees of the aforesaid who expended to most effort to get rid of me. I would focus on those who have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton’s West District, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who falsely paint themselves as being religious, conservative, and/or Republican to give them standing to destroy individuals, organizations, and governments that are religious, conservative, and/or Republican.)

There is one Criminal Code in Illinois and the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office applies that code evenly in every case.”)
