— Democrat leaders use Trump, Iran, inflation, socialism, etc. to defeat Republicans. Because of the November 3, 2026 Democrat election victories in Illinois, anticipate/expect that more and more and more of those in Illinois who are the following will leave Illinois: citizen of America, capitalist, conservative, White, male, older, heterosexual, married, non-poor, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. Anticipate/expect that more and more and more of those who are the following will move into Illinois: noncitizen, socialist, liberal/moderate, minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, unmarried, poor, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. – Dave Diersen

— To get more votes from voters who are liberal/moderate, minority, female, younger, LGBTQ, non-rich, non-Protestant, non-German American, have ancestors who had not been in America for a long time, and/or noncitizen, Democrat candidates ever-increasingly promise to give them more a) free stuff, b) preference, c) LGBTQ, d) abortion, e) mass/illegal immigration, f) booze, gambling, pot, and other vices, g) diminishment of Second Amendment rights, h) 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. Because of Democrat victories, the future is ever-increasingly bleak for those in Illinois who are conservative, Republican, American, White, male, older, non-poor, Protestant, German American, and/or have ancestors who have been in America for a long time. – Dave Diersen

The aforesaid who are RINOs or Democrat plants will blame a) the Republican Party platform and especially 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, b) conservative principles, c) conservatives, d) my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters, and e) me.

http://www.gopillinois.com
— On who/what do your critics/opponents blame their problems? My critics/opponents blame me and blame my GOPUSA ILLINOIS newsletters for their problems. They blame me and blame my newsletters for all the defeats that Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct have suffered since 2000. Of course, they will they blame me and blame my newsletters for the defeats that Republican candidates on the November 3, 2026 ballot in my precinct suffered. I should write a book about the aforesaid blaming. I would take all the Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct who have suffered defeats since 2000 and focus on the logic/arguments that my critics/opponents have used to blame me and my newsletters for those defeats. I would focus on my critics/opponents who are past and present a) leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization, b) Republican leaders of Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton, c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, d) conservative leaders, e) religious leaders, and f) major Republican donors. – Dave Diersen

— What are the Republican election results in your precinct? In my DuPage County Milton Township Precinct 59 in Wheaton, the following Republican candidates got the following votes: Tracy-278, Bailey/Del Mar-259, Fioretti-292, Harris-258, Drew-302, Soloman-288, Oakley-294, Lewis-311, Vrankovich-290, Grasso-298, Noonan-319, Schiappa-298, Henry-345, Eckhoff-327, Michaud-308, Schultz-296, Quirk-315, and Helland-291. Henry, who lives in my precinct, was the only Republican candidate to get more votes than her Democrat opponent. Of course, my critics/opponents will hint/imply/argue/shout that if anyone else had been the Republican Precinct Committeeman in my precinct, the aforesaid Republican candidates would have gotten many more votes. In my defense, I hand-delivered the following to the 200 Republican residence in my precinct and the 170 Independent residences in my precinct: a) the outstanding Milton Township Republican Organization (MTRO)-provided Voter Guide, b) the sample ballot, and c) campaign pieces from the 14 of the 18 Republican candidates on that ballot who provided MTRO with their campaign pieces. I used 370 DuPage County GOP-provided envelopes with 660 DuPage County-Election Division-provided labels. Those 370 envelopes contained 5,920 pieces: 5,180 campaign pieces (14X370), 370 Voter Guides, and 370 sample ballots. – Dave Diersen
