— ‘This is a Wheaton I really never thought I’d see.’ Months after author’s talk was canceled over LGBTQ themes, suburb embraces Pride. – Heidi Stevens (DIERSEN: To promote LGBTQ activity is to promote the destruction of traditional marriage and the traditional family. Before they got elected or appointed, did those who run your municipality say that they would use their office to promote BLM and/or LGBTQ activity? What if BLMers, LGBTQers, and/or other Trump-haters officially took over your neighborhood, your precinct, your municipal district, your downtown, your municipality, your township, your county, or Illinois, of have they already? From what I see, sooner or later, if not already, BLM and LGBTQ will demand that your city council do the following: get rid of the municipality’s residents, organizations, and companies a) that do not promote BLM and LGBTQ activity and b) that are Trump supporters, conservative, patriotic, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-poor, gun owners, Protestant, German American, draft avoiders, and those whose ancestors have been in America for a long time. How will your city council respond? How soon, if not already, will the BLMers and LGBTQers in your municipality invite Shaun King to lead protests in your municipality? What if the BLMers and LGBTQers in Wheaton succeed in doing that? How soon, if not already, will the leaders of the world, America, Illinois, your county, your township, your municipality, and your municipal district officially ban the promotion of traditional marriage and the traditional family, that is, how soon will the aforesaid leaders officially force you to promote LGBTQ activity? There are no protections for those like me who do not promote BLM and LGBTQ activity. How soon, if not already, will employers officially get rid of their employees who do not promote BLM and LGBTQ activity? How soon, if not already, will organizations officially get rid of their members who do not promote BLM and LGBTQ activity? How soon, if not already, will countries, states, counties, townships, municipalities, and municipal districts officially get rid of their residents who do not promote BLM and LGBTQ activity? Will you comply with request/demands that you kneel before BLM and LGBTQ promoters?)

https://townhall.com/columnists/wayneallynroot/2020/06/21/is-america-starting-down-the-path-of-nazi-germany-n2570979
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Many of us don’t fly an American flag at our homes. We don’t dare put a Trump sign on our lawn or in our store window, or put a Trump bumper sticker on our car, for fear of violence or vandalism. On the TV, we all see supposedly rational and respected people calling us racist solely because of the color of our skin. Our free speech is monitored, censored, shadow-banned or outright banned by those who control social media. Our great American history is being destroyed, denigrated or erased. Radicals are toppling the statues of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and even abolitionists — heroes who bravely fought against slavery. A black NASCAR driver can wrap his car with “Black Lives Matter,” but an NBA announcer loses his job for tweeting, “All Lives Matter,” and a Philadelphia newspaper editor is forced to resign for writing, “Buildings Matter, Too,” as his city burns. NFL superstar quarterback Drew Brees was forced to beg for forgiveness for saying he will always stand for our national anthem. College football coach Mike Gundy was forced to beg for forgiveness from his players for wearing a T-Shirt with the name of the conservative One America News Network. Demented never-Trumper Rick Wilson tried to destroy Domino’s pizza for thanking a prominent Trump supporter for a compliment on its pizza in a corporate tweet…in 2012 …before Trump ever even got into politics.)
