3. I found this really hard to read, due to the lack of paragraph breaks.

It's not quite a "wall of text," but pretty close.

I did some googling and found an easier to read version here: https://sports.yahoo.com/republican-grassroots-activists-vent-post-000900920.html

This one is even better, imo, because it has pictures: https://www.chicagotribune.com/politics/ct-illinois-gop-state-committee-2022-20221211-jgokkggjb5feromc4h2bimqmnm-story.html

The Trubune has a paywall, but I think it will let you read a story or 2 before it kicks in. (Not 100% sure about that, but may be worth a try?)

It sounds like the Illinois GOP is in "disarray," as some media outlets are fond of saying about Democrats. I loved the way they couldn't even agree on basic facts, such as whether Richard Irvin is a Republican or a "liberal." It sounds like there is some tension between the MAGA faction and more "mainstream" Republicans,

This bit really cracked me up:

“We have to recognize a lot of people see us as angry white people that cannot be trusted to govern,” [RNC committeeman] Porter said.


Excuse me? We don't think you Republicans are angry white people. We can clearly see that you are angry white people, and we know damned well that you can't be trusted to govern!
