You mean like every company implementing DEI for the last administration? I don't like Trump but this is how both sides have been playing politics. I suspect I'll get downvoted and flagged for this which I think will prove my point.

It is so bizarre the way some people act like all DEI policies were introduced between January 2021 and January 2025. I can understand being against the policies, but people are just straight lying about how, why, and when those policies came to be.

  And Trump isn't the first person to push for hiring in America or other such things. Under both Obama and Biden companies, government and academia significantly increased DEI spending. Multiple executive orders were signed by both to promoted DEI. Fun fact, my comment said nothing against DEI and you assuming I did more or less summarizes modern political discourse on both sides. Even implying something isn't 200% amazing means you must be utterly opposed to it's very concept.

    >Fun fact, my comment said nothing against DEI and you assuming I did more or less summarizes modern political discourse Fun fact, my comment said nothing in support of DEI and you assuming I did more or less summarizes modern political discourse. DEI was not implemented "for the last administration" like you implied. My comment was not even really about DEI, it was criticizing you for implying something that wasn't true. And you seem to know it yourself with the way you subtly shifted the conversation from "the last administration" to "under both Obama and Biden", pushing the age of these policies back another 12 years.

Maybe some companies implemented DEI because civil rights matter to people? And those that care have kept it. Trump just cut a bunch of money to blue state projects. Did the last admin do that to the red states? 60% of Biden’s infrastructure bill went to red states.

It’s just that we still have DEI. The uplifted group is just much smaller - billionaire friends of Trump.
