GOPUSA ILLINOIS
— Political parties exist to help elect candidates who can and will defend and advance their platform. The Republican Party platform is conservative. According to Google AI: “Democrat Lite is a pejorative political term used primarily by conservative or libertarian critics to describe moderate or establishment Republicans. It implies that these politicians lack core conservative principles and instead support a milder version of liberal or Democratic policies (such as big-government spending). Critics often use the phrase to argue that Republicans abandon their base by offering a watered-down agenda to appeal to the political center.” My critics/opponents who state that they are Republican are Democrat Lite. They reject some, many, most, virtually all, if not all the planks in the Republican Party platform. Most Commonly, they reject its personal responsibility, traditional marriage and family, right to life, immigration, anti-vice, Second Amendment, and/or equal opportunity (no race or gender based preference giving) planks. They destroy those like me who promote the aforesaid planks. To get rid of me, they have taken many big adverse actions against me since 2000. I should write about my critics/opponents. I would focus on those who continue to have lots of religious, government, political, and/or financial clout in Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois. – Dave Diersen

— According to Google AI: “Come to your defense is a phrase that means stepping in to protect, support, or justify someone when they are being criticized, attacked, or facing a challenge. Depending on context, it could refer to legal/physical self-defense, an academic thesis defense, or simply standing up for a friend.” Ever-increasingly, if you live in Illinois, the more of the following that you are, the more that you should not anticipate/expect that others will come to your defense: conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, non-poor, married, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. My critics/opponent stress those who I have done much to help elect and to help reelect since 2000, but who did not come to my defense when my critics/opponents had their operatives and dupes a) rudely through off the Illinois Republican Party State Convention Platform and Resolutions Committee in 2024, b) rudely end my role as the Republican fundraiser for Wheaton Independence Day parades and fireworks in 2021, c) rudely gerrymander my precinct in 2015, d) rudely end my TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairmanship in 2012, e) rudely end my Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO) webmaster service in 2010 and 2004, f) rudely end my Illinois Center Right Coalition (ICRC) Steering Committee membership in 2007, g) rudely almost got ICRC to censure me for my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters in 2006, and h) rudely defeat my bid for the open MTRO Treasurer position in 2004. – Dave Diersen

— From what I see spending 10+ hours a day putting GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters together and serving as a Republican Precinct Committeeman, if you live in Illinois, the more of the following that you are, the bleaker that your future is: conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, heterosexual, non-poor, married, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. Ever-increasingly, those who are the aforesaid are leaving Illinois. Democrat leaders ever-increasingly dive those who are the aforesaid out of Illinois and replace them with those who are liberal/moderate, Democrat, noncitizen, minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, poor, unmarried, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. – Dave Diersen

— Socialism clashes with Christian teaching despite Pope Leo’s claims.

In California, where the minimum wage is approaching $17 per hour, large fast-food employers must pay $20 per hour. Beginning Wednesday, healthcare employers will have to start paying $25 per hour.)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Los Angeles, the city that no longer loves itself, the city that is casting out the angels and replacing them with progressive demons and rabid communists, has unleashed another political inferno with their latest diabolical election scheme. By a vote of 10 to 5, the Los Angeles City Council passed a charter amendment initiative which, if approved by the voters in November, would allow non-citizens to vote in Los Angeles’ local city and school board elections. The Democratic Socialist of America-allied (DSA) leader of the LA City Council’s progressive phalanx, Hugo Soto-Martinez, rolled out the usual dodgy reasons proffered for this scandalous proposal. The reasons are daunting and disturbing:)

— Marriage is starting later than ever. DD: I did not get married until I was 29 in 1978. If I had not met my outstanding wife at a church sponsored singles social event when I was 28 in 1977, I might never had gotten married. My Democrat IRS superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates were furious that I got married. To get rid of me, they had painted me being an extremely bad person because I had refused to become a Democrat. They hinted/implied/argued that because of that, I would never get married. What helped you become marriage material? By the time I got married, I had worked for IRS for almost 7 years and my salary was $110,066/year in today’s dollars. I had earned an MBA from Loyola in 1976 and I was taking graduate evening accounting courses at DePaul. I lived in a one bedroom condo in the Outer Drive East building that I had bought in 1976. I was renting out a town home in University Park that I had bought new in 1972. I owned a 1972 Corvette that I had bought new in 1971. See Money Magazine’s 4-page February 1978 article on my wife and I at https://gopillinois.com/documents/ Things that impressed me about my outstanding wife included that her first job after high school was working for the FBI. She soon became the Corporate Secretary of the U.S. League of Savings Institutions. She did much to help elect Big Jim Thompson governor in 1976. She earned a bachelor’s degree in finance from DePaul in 1986.

— DD: Democrat leaders ever-increasingly use Trump to demonize, denigrate, and condemn America and Americans, and especially Americans who share Trump’s demographics: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-poor, non-veteran, Protestant, German American, and have been in America for a long time. I am all of the aforesaid. All of my ancestors were Protestants who immigrated from what is now Germany during the 1840s and 1850s. In their defense, I stress that they always lived in northeast Illinois, that they never were in a position to discriminate against anyone, and that they never did discriminate against anyone.

I went with her four annual business trips to luxury resorts across America 1978-1992. We almost always followed her business meetings with trips to national parks. According to my Democrat IRS and GAO superiors, supervisors, coworkers, and subordinates, they were grossly underpaid. They decried the time and money they spent raising their children. They decried their wives having little or no income. They ever-increasingly demonized, denigrated, and condemned my wife and I as being selfish disgustingly rich DINKs.

— Civil Service Protections. DD: Federal employees who are the following have no Civil Service protections: conservative, Republican, White, male, older, non-veteran, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. Unions provide some protection. But GAO did not unionize until 2007. If GAO had been unionized when I transferred from IRS in 1980, my Democrat GAO superiors would not have been able to take the many big adverse actions against me that they did. My Democrat GAO superiors a) forced me to retire when I was 49 in 1997, b) always ranked me in the bottom half of my coworkers for pay-for-performance, c) delayed my promotions and never promoted me beyond GS-13, and d) forced me to take a $23,699/year (21%) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. But even though I was a union member at the time, a) my Democrat IRS superiors never promoted me beyond GS-12, disallowed my education deductions in 1978, and disallowed my travel vouchers in 1974 and b) my Democrat Post Office superiors forced me to resign in 1969 and disallowed my sick leave requests in 1969 and 1968. That was because I was not a Democrat, minority, female, and/or veteran. For Democrats, the federal government exists to hire, retain, and promote Democrats who are minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. Virtually all federal employees are Democrats who are one or more of the aforesaid. All of my coworkers who my Democrat superiors in the federal government promoted over me were Democrats who a) had less education than I had, had less work experience than I had, had no professional certification or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had and/or b) were minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time.
