their employees who shared my demographics – Republican, White, male, older,
Protestant, German American, draft avoider, non-poor, and those whose ancestors

Politics is nasty. Since 1966 when I was 18 years old, my critics/opponents,
their operatives, and their dupes have stressed to veterans that I avoided the
draft. I sought and got four student draft deferments 1966-1970 and a financial
hardship draft deferment 1970-1971.)

— What Can We Learn from the Germans About Confronting Our History? – Lizzie
Widdicombe (DIERSEN: What if I had lied and successfully claimed Swedish
ancestry? During the 1840s and 1850s, all my ancestors immigrated to northeast
Illinois from what is now Germany. Of course, needless-to-say, my
critics/opponents, their operatives, and their dupes have always used that
against me. In my defense, I stress that my grandfather on my father’s side
fought the Germans during WWI, that my uncles on my mother’s side fought the
Germans during WWII, and that my father would have fought the Germans during
WWII if he had not been 4-F. Further, according to http://dna.ancestry.com, my
ancestry is 33% Europe West, 28% Scandinavia, 24% Great Britain, 11% Ireland,
2% Europe East, 1% Finland/Northwest Russia, and 1% Italy/Greece. Again, what
if I had lied and successfully claimed Swedish ancestry?)
