It's right out there in the open. It was right in the open before the election and it was on the ballot. It's time to stop pretending this is not an Authoritarian White Supremacist takeover of our Government.
It was never about the economy.

Again, an Authoritarian White Supremacy has taken over our government.

(41,637 posts)... but it doesn't explain what Chump and Musk are trying to do right now.
If Chump ad Musk really were "competent white men" they wouldn't be doing any of this stuff, which is trying to burn down the federal government and destroy the strong blue states.
No it's just another lie that Repukes are telling themselves, to avoid looking at what Chump is really doing to them.

(10,299 posts)when they dont have DEI to blame for their failures anymore?
Yes, boys take care of boys. I have worked all my life, for the past 40 years in advertising and marketing. I have seen it all. But even the boys club will take them only so far. Eventually they have to produce.
What then?

(3,568 posts)Seems to me that they have created wars, pollution, holocausts,poverty, hunger and environmental destruction just to name a few things.
Some few women have run a few countries and made some headway in other occupations for about 50 years or less.
Women could do no worse and maybe a whole lot better as caretakers of the world.
DSandra
(1,719 posts)Insinuating that women and minorities are somehow not as smart as white men and are thus "taking away" jobs that they "rightfully deserve." So many DEI people are smarter and more competent and qualified than much of the white men working in their field, but never got a chance because of employment racism / sexism.

(17,146 posts)Why are they assuming only white men are competent? (I know the answer is racism/sexism).
What a horrific timeline.
