— This is the Dangerous LGBTQ+ Trajectory That We Have Been Warning About – Michael Brown
(DIERSEN: How soon, if not already, will the following officially get rid of you if you do not promote LGBTQ+: a) your employer, if you are still employed, b) the organizations that you are a member of, c) your municipality, d) your township, e) your county, f) Illinois, g) America, and h) the world? Those who promote LGBTQ, their operatives, and their dupes have always worked the hardest against me. In 2021, they stopped me from raising funds from DuPage Republicans so that they could help sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day Parade and Fireworks. In 2012, they ended my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship. In 2011, they ended my Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee membership. In 2010 and 2004, they ended my Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster service. In 2007, they ended my Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee membership. In 2006, they almost got ICRC to censure me for what I do as your GOPUSA Illinois Editor. In 2004, they ended my American Association of Political Consultants Midwest Chapter board membership. I should write a book about those who led the aforesaid adverse actions against me.)

— GOP 2024 hopefuls face challenge: Not upsetting Trump – MAX GREENWOOD
(DIERSEN: Of course, hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters did not want me to raise funds from Republicans to help sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day Parade and Fireworks. I should write a book about hate-filled Trump-hating Trump-haters who cast Republican primary ballots in my precinct, Wheaton’s West District, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County’s 4th District, DuPage County, and Illinois. I would focus on those who are/were Republican Precinct Committeemen, elected officials, leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and/or Illinois Republican Party, activists, political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and/or campaign volunteers.)
https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/561380-gop-2024-hopefuls-face-challenge-not-upsetting-trump
(FROM THE ARTICLE: But Trump’s presence hasn’t stopped other Republicans from garnering the interest of party donors and leaders. Several would-be candidates have paraded through Iowa, the first-in-the-nation presidential caucus state, over the past several months for fundraisers and speaking engagements, stirring speculation about their 2024 plans. And a straw poll at the Western Conservative Summit in Denver last month showed DeSantis narrowly edging out Trump for the 2024 presidential nomination, 74.1 percent to 71.4 percent. “Trump is definitely afraid of DeSantis. There’s no question in my mind about that,” Keith Naughton, a veteran Republican strategist, said. “They clearly see him as popular and as a threat to Trump and as someone who could usurp him.” Still, nearly six months after leaving the White House, Trump remains the de facto leader of the Republican Party. A Quinnipiac University poll released in late May found that two-thirds of GOP voters want the former president to run again in 2024, while less than one-third – 30 percent – said he should not.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Whether it was an act of pure conscience, a play for a leading role in the post-Trump world or a mix of the two, it’s hard to argue with the assessment of Catalina Rauf, who is challenging Kinzinger in northwest Illinois: “All of them grossly miscalculated whatever they were trying to do. The Republican Party is the party of President Trump. He led the new direction forward. That’s where we are.”)
