— How strongly will the Democrats and RINOs who lead Illinois, your county, your township, your municipality, and your school district resist Trump? – Dave Diersen
http://www.gopillinois.com
— How strongly are the voters in your county, township, municipality, school district, and precinct insulated from the harm caused by the Democrat Party platform, that is, insulated from the harm caused by the promotion of dependency on government and charity, LGBTQ, abortion, mass/illegal immigration, booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, diminishment of Second Amendment rights, Affirmative Action and DEI, that is, race and gender based preference giving, patronage, political affiliation discrimination, reverse discrimination, age discrimination, religious discrimination, and national origin discrimination? – Dave Diersen

I will hand-deliver a copy of the sample ballot as soon as it is available along with campaign the literature that they provide me with to the 400 residences in my precinct that have at least one Republican or Independent registered voter. – Dave Diersen

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/campaigns/3206644/political-affiliation-divided-along-racial-lines-among-churchgoers/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: White Evangelical Protestants are Trump’s largest backers with 81% supporting him, followed by white Catholics, 61%, then white mainline/non-Evangelical Protestants, 60%. Harris’s biggest backers are black Protestants, 83%, religiously unaffiliated people, 70%, and Hispanic Catholics, 61%. While Hispanic Catholics largely support Harris, Hispanic Christians of all types that attend church weekly swing to Trump, with 55% supporting him over 41% supporting Harris. The poll found several areas of overlap between white and Hispanic Protestants, the majority of both support Trump. The exodus of Christian Hispanics away from Catholicism toward Protestantism could help explain Trump’s increasing standing with Hispanics. Half of Hispanics are expected to be Protestant by 2030, a demographic that was once almost uniformly Catholic.)

I should write a book about the aforesaid.)
