LOL the only people that made DEI toxic was people like you who over apply and make up hypotheticals about the sky falling.
You have no hard data on this toxicity or victims of DEI because it’s coming from the side criticizing it. The pendulum will soon swing the other way soon.
Being against DEI policies because you don’t like all non-occurring hypotheticals and random social causes you can tie to it is the exact thing you’re complaining about “governing by feelings” not policies. These policies hurt your feelings.
The fact that you’re not willing to say “okay this was fair about the intent of DEI however we should work to improve these parts” is proof your understanding is shallow and uneducated on the topic.
You think DEI is dead but we will keep pushing for it and implementing it in other ways, other policies. Renamed, a new beast. It’s not going to stop because a large group of people can act like toddlers about it.
> It was the corporate enforced DEI mandates that got you chastised if you said “you guys” to a mixed group of people
This wasn’t the federal policy though. That is political correctness. So you’re wrong in saying it is Democrats fault. They didn’t design a policy that said “police speech” in the office. There may be extremists in Democrats and Republicans that take things to far, none of them were the people at the federal level or at the DNC. To blame the entire group of people for that is again looking to place blame on emotionally.
Which makes sense, most people haven’t read the constitution why would they read the actual text in the DEI effort.
You keep missing the point and it’s the reason that liberals are out in the wilderness.
Look up Clinton and Sister Soulja and what happened. He was a good enough politician to know that he had to distance himself from policies that the middle found offensive to win elections.
The first job is to get elected. We see the same now with what’s happening in California. Texas is gerrymandering the hell out of Texas. But Newsome is getting push back when he is trying to do the same. Republicans know how to win elections. Democrats are high on “ideals”.
Texas gerrymandering won’t even help them in the long run. Again you are missing the point. The pendulum will just swing back twice as hard. Whether Republicans gerrymander an already deeply red state or not. Newsom is getting push back as is Hochul, so what? Doesn’t seem to be actually stopping anything.
I think you’re smoking something if you think Democrats are high on ideals. There is no democracy if you gerrymander out your opponent. That’s why maps are redrawn every 10 years. So Republicans aren’t winning elections for democracy or to shove it Democrats. They’re gerrymandering to remove your right to even have a choice or a democracy. You’re stuck knee deep in a culture war designed to keep you too preoccupied to see this.
Keep kicking and screaming about social posturing issues that go no where.
Texas has been going blue now any day now for 30 years. A deeply red state still had blue districts that could turn the house blue. Are you suggesting that we just turn the other cheek?
Gerrymandering is easy for Republicans since Democrats cluster in cities while Republicans are in rural areas and the burbs.
Democrats and leftists are high on ideals not understanding that this country has never cared about ethics or ideals. Despite what Michelle Obama says, this exactly who we are. It’s who we have been since slavery, Jim Crow laws that my still living parents grew up in, the Willie Horton ads, and the “Hatishs are eating your pets”.
Social postering hasn’t gone anywhere. In 2025, my 6 foot 2 son is still going to be looked at with suspicion by the police for living in a neighborhood “he doesn’t belong”. Even though he’s lived in the upper class burbs all of his life.
It’s Democrats focus on ideals that keeps them in the wilderness. They lost every single swing state last year. Your solution is just to do more of the same.
