    Expecting consistency between beliefs and actions from bigots and fascists is a mistake.

    You’re making the error of assuming conservatives have a status quo, or a party line, or any agenda other than being evil.

    Their wives are not dei because that’s not what dei means.

    Don’t accept their language.

      The theory behind DEI policies is to formally challenge personal bias (both explicit and subconscious) in hiring and participation. There’s nothing inherently tied to unfairly favoring minority groups other than the fact that they are usually the target of negative bias.

      It’s a pretty basic and logical idea that acknowledges human fallibility. I hate that it was rapidly co-opted on all sides as a shorthand for racism and opposition to cis-white-male dominance.

    That’s the funny thing: they don’t.

    Hypocrisy is written all over their souls… If they have any, that is.

    DEI during hiring is things like:

    • Making sure job postings are put up in spaces where minority populations have a similar chance to see them as majority populations. I.e. post at HBCU and Women’s colleges’ job boards, not just at the hiring manager’s alma mater.
    • Making sure the application portal is accessible to those with disabilities

    DEI during employment is things like:

    • continuing unconscious bias training
    • educating about the existence of diverse backgrounds and how that can benefit your team
    • encouraging communication among your team members about how they approach problems, overcome obstacles, and achieve results

    DEI is not (though the right commonly likes to use it this way):

    • A slur for non-white male presenting people
    • A diversity hire
    • A socially acceptable term in lieu of the n-word

      And this right here is why people don’t like it, and how the current administration is able to get away with the stuff they say.

    You assume they care about truth as an ideal to uphold.

    Their optimization model is set to maximize power and wealth for their people. Truth is a tool to use or discard as needed in reach of their goal. It makes perfect sense, just not within the logic and morals framework you or I would use.

    You see, their wives are the good ones.

    This kind of thinking happens all over MAGAland. People with undocumented spouses proudly voted for Trump because “he’s going to deport the illegals”, then they’re shocked when ICE shows up at their door. Their minds were so quick to interpret “illegals” as “others I don’t like” that they literally didn’t even realize their own spouses would be targeted.

    This is the power of misinformation combined with cultivated hate.

    You’re trying to apply conventional logic to this. Stop. They only want more power and money and they would say anything to get it.

    Idk who Drumpf is but DEI, as another commenter stated, has nothing to do with non-white people in general. Marrying a non-white person does not make them in favor of DEI.

    Many Chinese and Indian Americans are against DEI because they work so hard to raise their children to get into the top schools from birth then view their chances hurt by DEI. I’m less knowledgeable about Indian Americans but I can confidently say many Chinese Americans are more educated and even right wing than white Americans. You want to hear some insane politics go talk to an Irvine Chinese American.

    TLDR: DEI/=Minority Minority/=liberal

    This is typical fascism. Was Hitler a member of the Aryan race? Blue eyed, blond hair? Nope. Dude wasn’t even German. Were any of his cadre? Nope.

    Kim Jong Un reportedly doesn’t need to use the bathroom because he is so perfect.

    Trump is cracking down on illegal immigrants. Married an illegal immigrant. He’s against chain migration. Melania chain migrated her family. Calls Biden sleepy Joe, then falls asleep during his trial. Says voting by mail is rampant with fraud. Votes by mail. None of this makes any sense!

      To be clear, nobody actually thinks Kim Jong Un doesn’t need to use the restroom. You can say anything you want about the DPRK and people will believe you, which ends up being a clickbait race for tabloid media (which is where stories like the no peeing thing come from).

    wives who are DEI

    I don’t think you understand what DEI means. It isn’t some term that means “likes minorities”. And being against DEI isn’t racist.
