Trump's undersecretary of state for diplomacy tweeted last fall that "competent white men must be in charge if you want things to work".

These people in power are using any good faith doubt about dei that an everyday citizen may have, and are using it to revert to White-by-default government, and tearing up the entire civil service.

If you don't know if and despise Russell Vought and Stephen Miller and their philosophy of the Constitution, you need to.

That's racist. It doesn't excuse existing racist policies.


I disagree that DEI is fundamentally racist.

There may places where it has become discriminatory in practice by overcorrection or by demonizing certain groups.

My point is that the people you cheer on are white supremacists, and people who want to destroy the federal government while making the president completely unaccountable.

You're cheering on a serial killer being made a custodian because he's a clean freak and the halls are messy.

You think we need to start trade wars with our allies, hire white supremacists throughout government, end all DEI, cease all foreign aid, attempt to illegally abolish multiple federal agencies, gut consumer and worker protections, and institute a purge of apolitical career civil servants because you saw a stupid list of words put out by a liberal college group?

Are you serious? I'm not trying to troll. You can't separate out what is being done right now, and who is being put in charge. Trump is a package deal with no surprises. Reading your other comments I can tell we disagree but you seem to be reasonable. I simply can't see how what is happening to the US right now is worth it in order to clean up perceived problems with DEI.
