Because I opposed my Democrat federal superiors’ political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination (up-or-out), religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination and because I became an active member in a class action lawsuit that charged them with discrimination in 1988, they disallowed my sick leave requests in 1968 and1969, forced me to resign in 1969, disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, forced me to take a $23,472/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer between agencies in 1980, always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance purposes, delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, and forced me retire when I was 49 years old in 1997.

— Illinois State Board of Education rebuffs Trump administration demand to reject DEI in schools.

DEI programs give preference to those who have demographics that vote for Democrats, that is, DEI programs discriminate against those who have demographics that vote for Republicans.

— The Democrat Party exists to destroy Trump and to destroy everyone who voted for him. The more demographics that you share with Trump, the faster that the Democrat Party will destroy you. Trump is conservative, Republican, White, male, older, married, non-poor, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and his ancestors have been in America for a long time.

— When Democrats take over your state, county, township, municipality, school district, and/or precinct, crime ever-increasingly increases. No-go zones around you will increase.

Consider concealed carry. – Dave Diersen
