Summary
Donald Trump has moved to dismantle diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in government and education, calling them “discriminatory” and “anti-American.”
His administration has eliminated DEI offices, revoked related executive orders, and restricted LGBTQ+ rights.
Federal agencies must halt DEI programs, and corporate America is also scaling back diversity efforts under political pressure.
Trump has reinstated the 1776 Commission to promote “patriotic education” and is targeting progressive policies in schools and workplaces, sparking concerns over civil rights and social regression.
Vague enemy. No real end goal. Make it sound like it’s a war.
This has War on Drugs energy. Guess who won?
They aren’t creating a small government that stays out of people’s business
They’re building a giant over arching authoritarian state that is trying to control everyone
It’s what they always wanted. Project 2025 is their mangnum opus and they are hellbent to make it reality.
Government so small, it’ll fit into your vagina.
The qons were never serious about a small government, ever.
I wonder just what fElon is going to be doing with all that access he now has, too…
“Dark times” is putting it mildly.
I expect they’re going to be digging mass graves before this is all over, and Trump is going to be added to the list of worst mass murderers in history.
I wish I was kidding.
No, no, you’re not exagerrating. Tens of thousands to millions will die, and all throughout people will continue to deny until the very moment they, too, are snagged in the dark of night never to be seen again.
This is where “2a” should come in - except they’re firmly on the side of the oppressor…
“to rule by decree, bypassing democratic institutions and the constitution…” That sounds familiar!
Non paywalled.
Dark MAGA indeed.
Nah. Trump is Dumb MAGA. Dark MAGA is the Apartheid wunderkind - the true danger of this “administration”.
Dark MAGA is the Apartheid wunderkind
That should narrow it down more than it does.
It’s not the Dark Age
It’s the Dark MAGAge
Behind the orange noise machine there’s a technocratic gestapo.
How can something be both “discriminatory” and “anti-American?” Isn’t discrimination kinda like our whole fuckin’ thing?
Because Trump views those policies as anti-white. America and the American dream is only for white people.
Because American ideals don’t line up with American reality.
People their whole lives have heard “Wake up!” They started saying “I’m woke already” instead of picking up their head, looking around, and judging if the situation was actually a copacetic one, or if some cockamamie shit was going on… “Wake up!” Does not mean “women are by default better in some way” if anything statistically speaking they are physically worse, they degrade faster, are weaker, and most fail to balance a checkbook let alone understand the words “righty tightly, left loosely” long enough to change a tire, “Wake up!” Means there are women out there that are excellent, better than the men around them and they have been ignored for mediocre men, it means the life you have accepted is garbage just like the rest of us, we pay more into the economy, we are society, not these morons up high making their stock market do as they please, taking in trillions, then turning around and begging for a hand out before they have to sell a vacation property to meet their interest requirement. You know what the real people do when they don’t have enough money? They borrow, do without, and partake in the gig economy for any loose change they can get… While the wealthy get bailout after bailout from yours and my hard earned money. While paying less and less in taxes, honestly how many are paying more in taxes than they have received bailouts? How successful would Tesla be without tax credits, how successful would gas powered cars be without tax credits for gas production and selling… Its not a pretty sight the real world once you really dig into the nuts and bolts and start trying to understand how the systems work, basically it’s designed to keep you under someone’s thumb permanently, they are even trying to cancel gen x - millenniums retirements so they don’t have a brain drain until the workers die at their post. The true free citizens terrifies them, and it’s obvious. They keep us too poor to be comfortable, and too over worked to complain about being poor then do whatever the hell they please with us, our children, our planet, and anything we hold dear.
These comments are making me want to leave Lemmy. Yeah, it’s bleak. Being whiny pussies online isn’t doing anything either.
Don’t let the door hit you in the ass.
