    Their goal is power, and they will use the most efficient and effective means at their disposal to secure it. Their actions are not guided by higher values or logic.

    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.

    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.

    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

    Rules are there to punish bad morality.

    Trump and Vance are seen as morally good, so the rules don’t apply as they can do no bad. Things that the Others want, such as DEI, are naturally morally bad and every rule to punish them is fully enforced, and a few new rules are added as needed.

    Rule of law and consistency do not apply for them.

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

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

      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.

    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.

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

    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
