DOJ v. DEI: Trump's Justice Department likely to target diversity programs

[Elim Garak]

Well atleast he's going to get the prices down. Oh wait...

Well, if

I'm not going to lie. I didn't think I would see in my lifetime overturn of Roe vs. Wade, DEI, and Trump's plans.

Doj vs civil rights. These are some crazy times.

I feel that the civil rights movement has been defeated.

What's crazy is: it peaked with Obama and that drove white supremacists insane. They activated and they got it done.

Spooky years and decades ahead.

Meanwhile, Reagonomics and Trickle Down Economics has been wrecking this country for the last 40 years.

AOC had that post she made about how much both sides all throughout Congress take money from these big companies and how bad the problem is.

Knowing that, people need to get realistic: If the system is functioning like this underneath, do you really expect the government to be about “workers’ rights” and “for the people”?

Somewhere along the line it’s been heavily compromised and I actually think a lot of countries are going to lap us heavy and we have no way to recover.

I said it before, but I don’t think we’ll see the “peak” of America like we had it a few years ago again in our lifetime. Tech will get better around the world for sure as it will here, but people’s rights, freedoms, convenience, etc. will never be the same our lifetime. We have exponentially better tech compared to 50-100 years ago, but why are hundreds of millions of people down bad or living mid in this country? Well, because policies meant to keep people inconvenient, that’s why.

Like I said, we’ll be dealing with Reagonomics and Trump’s new policies. If we still haven’t got rid of Reagonomics after it’s been proven to be detrimental, when will we undo whatever the Republicans are about to do over the next four years and the last few?

Basically, our floor has been lowered.

Citizen’s United was the nail in the coffin. Seeing AIPAC defeat Cori Bush by flooding a local election with millions showed the hand.

Basically National politics are held captive by big money and if they find you to be too much, they can dump money into a local candidate too. Unfortunately, this means that the work needed to fix things requires multiple election cycle wins. As you can see from the 2024 election, a shytty candidate can do a decade worth of damage and be brought right back in because of egg prices. Our rights have been traded to “ solve” today’s economic issues. All of the rampant profiteering, and the realities of post pandemic pricing clearly does not correlate to the majority of the population and now we walk right into issues that people 100 years ago went through. If we got the perfect candidates in the next elections, assuming they still exist, we still have to trust that anything that is not immediate will not be at risk by stupid motherfukkers who can only see what is happening today. I hate sounding like an elitist about this, but things that took years and a lot of blood shed to gain are being axed over every day problems. The only possible way to undo things would be something akin to a general strike. How many people have the appetite to do that in order to force change if it takes more than a couple of days? How many people have so little imagination that they would not even attempt to sacrifice a day to participate?

Well, if we would've spent the last 40 years building up own own instead of going to CAC for validation and acceptance, DEI wouldn't be an issue for us.

You sound like you never ate ice from a white mans freezer

Yup. Unfortunately, the bolded is the hardest part.

In order for the bolded to happen A LOT of people have to make the RIGHT decision.

Unfortunately, there are A LOT of STUPID Americans voting. This election exposed that.

Democracy is great, but when it’s based on the majority and the vast majority are stupid then we only spiral downward at worst, get stuck or proceed at best with slow, inconsistent progress.

I said it before, but I don’t think the founding fathers predicted that this country would be this dumb.
