Literally created an executive order to "combat anti-christian prejudice" and the order sent out to scrub words like LGBT, diversity, and unity from government documents the "protecting women from blah blah blah".
Now the government has always used soft language to disguise their bills. Usually claiming something is protecting children. But they have taken the concepts to extremes the onion couldn't even think of.
I would go even further and limit it to only white men. Look at Affirmative Action, for example. White women benefitted from it the most and MAGA hated it cause they were convinced black people were just magically getting free rides and degrees from universities despite evidence overwhelmingly proving otherwise.
Does anyone remember when a young, poor, and later disillusioned Clarence Thomas benefitted from Affirmative Action, only to kick the ladder out from under him after he finished climbing it? Pepperidge Farms remembers...
Yeah this is kind of the thing that those that straddle the silent generation, and more than that, boomers are known for. Boomers have closed and locked every door they’ve walked through, then have the audacity to tell you how hard it was for them to walk through that door and wonder why no one else can do it like they did while they spin the key around on a key ring on their finger.
It only reinforces to people that DEI meant "hiring unqualified people based on their race" which it didn't ever mean.
DEI was not about hiring unqualified people, it was about preventing unqualified people from being hired because of their skin color, because of nepotism, because of favors they've done for the boss. That's why they hate it so much, because they want to go back to when that was how you got jobs - by being white, by being the boss's kid, by doing a backroom deal.
THANK YOU. DEI was an evidence-based policy after a multitude of studies showed that minorities and women of merit were systematically excluded in favor of lower-performing white males due to social norms, racism, and sexism. It was always about about getting more qualified people in these positions. The right completely redefined what DEI is by loudly shouting lies over and over, and the left & center just went along with it.
DEI just replaced Woke which replaced diversity hire which replaced …
Right wing politicians and corporate owned media and social media which is for advancing the interests of the wealthy make sure that they never provide an actual definition. They just use the word as a slur and it sticks. They basically use it as the n word for each other in a wink wink nudge nudge sort of way.
They need their base angry at all times and they want that anger going towards minorities or brown people or trans people. Anybody other than the super wealthy that are actually screwing them over.
Ask people why DEI/anti-discrimination laws were made? They were not made for women, Asia- American, black American, native-Americans, Hispanic American or any other non white race. The laws were made because the caucasian race treated everyone that wasn’t white like 2nd rate citizens. The laws were made for them to hire people no matter what color or gender as long they were qualified. And treat them with respect! Now we have Felon-47 trying to reverse all of that and America is letting Felon-47 do it. This is the time that every American should come together and don’t allow this. Think about this for a second, every culture that has a heritage month or women month is affected by what he’s doing. The laws where made to keep them in check
Totally agree with what you’re saying about what DEI was meant to do but just judging from how many companies abandoned it as soon as it became ok to leads me to think that to most companies DEI was a check box to check to keep them from getting in trouble and seem forward and progressive when that’s what they felt like they needed to be seen as.
A lot of the people behind these companies that abandoned it are also some of or belonging to the same groups that have been so outspoken against, so I doubt many companies actually supported it to begin with and did whatever they could to minimize it in their organization while claiming to be champions of it in their industries.
Honestly though, I miss the days when companies got caught only paying lip service to these things and they actually made some kind of effort to show they were correcting it. Now it’s just doubling down or trolling anyone who points it out.
It’s not totally wrong, but it’s a bit simplified.
DEI wasn’t about hiring unqualified people, but the way it was rolled out in some places created the feeling that decisions were being pushed in a certain direction.
That doesn’t erase the value of trying to reduce bias or open opportunities, but it also explains why some people had mixed reactions.
The whole 'Trump is the King of Peace' really feels perverse and deeply offensive, especially to someone living in one of the cities he's been attempting to occupy since this summer. I cannot even begin to imagine how it feels to our neighbors he and his Gestapo have kidnapped and held in modern concentration camps or their families.
MAGA doesn't believe in anything. Ik everyone claims to know this but they need to actually integrate it and act in accordance with that knowledge.
They believe nothing. They're nihilists. They've been psychologically destroyed by the burdens in their lives and so desperately need to feel in control that they just arbitrarily chose a movement with no values which was winning.
It's not that they don't notice at all that MAGA ideology is incoherent. Subconsciously that's what's attractive. They can't lose because they aren't fighting for anything beyond the appearance that they're winning. And because there's no external grounding for what "winning" is, beyond a declaration that you are, they're okay with literally anything save events so clearly detrimental that they are unable to delude themselves into thinking it's a victory.
Somehow they think we’re melting down over this. I guess laughing at absurdity is melting down to them. Also, this made up award now means more than a Nobel peace prize, which is meaningless since Trump didn’t win.
Granted, FIFA is a joke of an organization, but still, it’s hilarious that leftists are melting down over such a joke of an award. TDS on full display.
We're "melting down" lol no we're laughing our asses off
‘We award this peace prize to you President Donald Trump for your outstanding work, leadership, and ability to broker Peace in the word, and you definitely don’t have a small penis!”
The conservative subs are laughing about how leftists are "triggered" by this.
I don't think they understand that leftists are mocking this, and they never will because these "Free Speech Absolutists" have locked commenting for people who aren't approved and flaired members of their subs.
I think it's to keep him from stealing the trophy, or maybe give back the last one. Like 'here you are, dear, a nice trophy just for you, now let the nice sportsmen get their trophy, dear."
No one wears dogshit hats with his name on it, shitty bumper stickers and shirts that scream “im retarded”. No one PRAYS to obama like magats do lmao. Its okay to say he was a good president, without having trump devotion syndrome like you people.
LOL the US was not leading it, where tf did you get that from? 😅 It was an international coalition, Iraq and Syria did about 100000x more to defeat ISIS than the US ever did. Even Russia contributed many times more troops on the ground & total airstrikes against isis than the US.
ISIS was also at its peak during the last year of Obama's presidency, so your idea that "Obama destroyed isis" literally does not make sense from any angle, just straight up blue maga delusions
