hating Trump – Brad Polumbo (DIERSEN: If they were polled, what percent of the

township/ward, in your county, and Illinois would say that they disapprove of
Trump?)
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/liberal-activists-twist-poll-data-to-spread-falsehoods-about-lgbtq-voters-hating-trump
(DIERSEN: Wow: 93% of
lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer people disapprove of President
Trump! And 90% support the impeachment of the supposed evil ‘anti-LGBTQ’
villain. Or at least, that’s what LGBT Inc., the activist class and lobby, is
claiming, based on the results of a new YouGov/Out Magazine survey into the
2020 election. The left-wing activist organization Human Rights Campaign, essentially
an arm of the Democratic Party, put out a press release touting the poll’s
results, declaring that “LGBTQ Voters Strongly Condemn Trump.” It highlighted
selected figures from the survey and concluded, “One thing is clear, while
LGBTQ people are diverse in race, identity and opinion, they are unified in
opposition to the Trump-Pence administration.”)
