Agreed. Most people don’t even know what DEI is. I remember when I was in college and studying sociology, the same things were being said about affirmative action. We just didn’t have anyone as sociopathic as DT at the time who had zero issue fully embracing Nazis propaganda.

The point the the Joe Rogan white male legions cannot wrap their pea brains around is that minorities & women have faced losing opportunities to white men they were equally qualified to fill for decades. They assume it is due to an inferior level of qualification. They are offended by their loss.

Agree that we have failed to counter this. How do we counter it though?

I've been pondering it for some time. Not the rant version, or the internet "girl leave him" version, but the actionable day to day real life version.

How do we functionally counter this?

I am drawing up a 21st Century Declaration of Independence document to utilize in a lawsuit to be filed against the entire federal government for breach of contract, dereliction of duty, violation of the Constitution they are all sworn to uphold & protect, etc. It will include a list of grievances.

Of course, it is a Don Quixote style legal attack, but I will also attempt to bring the argument to the public square. The goal is not to be a hero. The goal is to spark a movement.

I fully support you and will join in the movement!

We need real solutions to the problems Trump is exploiting. He's right that the working class is being failed, he's just wrong that it's white men that are most affected and that immigrants and DEI are to blame. We already have identity politics -- what we need now is class consciousness.

The Orange Slug has no interest in the working class beyond exploitation, which he has achieved.

I agree that the path forward is unifying the people to reign in the technoligarchy & obscenely wealthy.

It has always been the path forward; adequately regulated capitalism as economy exclusively.

Look at how we respect and fund education
