How many leaders of the RNC, of the Illinois Republican Party, of your Republican county party organization, and of your Republican township/ward party organization share your demographics? Fewer and fewer and fewer share my demographics. I am conservative, Republican, White, male, older (born in 1948), Protestant (baptized, raised, and confirmed as a Missouri Synod Lutheran), 100% German American, and my ancestors have been in America a long time (since 1844). Ever-increasingly, the leaders of the aforesaid a) take actions that give preference to those who do not share my demographics and b) take actions that discriminate against those who share my demographics. Ever-increasingly, they make it clear that they want me to leave Illinois, to leave DuPage County, to leave Milton Township, to leave Wheaton, and to leave Wheaton Warrenville School District 200.

According to my critics/opponents, all the jobs that I had a) were bad jobs that they would never stoop to take and b) paid more than they should have because they were bad jobs.
