“DEI Hire” just sounds like the new N word. She’s more qualified than a lot of people on the hill and certainly more than her opponent and his VP combined, but she’s still somehow just a “DEI Hire.”
I think using DEI as a racist dogwhistle like they did CRT is really going to backfire on them. Anyone who spells out the acronym will get a sense that the Democratic candidate(s) receiving this slander is for diversity, equity and inclusion. So Team Trump is for uniformity, inequity and exclusion? Kinda says the quiet part out a bit too loud.
Diversity has become a scare word for genuinely non-racist (just dumb) conservatives, they think they didn’t get that promotion because the company needs a black manager for DEI reasons even if there’s a better white dude for the job. The racists make it person: “They didn’t hire YOU, who is special and amazing and such a good worker bee, and instead hired that other guy JUST because he’s black!” They don’t register it as racial, but it opens them up to radicalization into the racist fold because now they start to develope that “you don’t deserve your position because reverse racism” slant to all their views.
My convicted-felon, day-drinking alcoholic brother thinks that “Mexicans” (all brown people) are a plague that’s ruining his home in California because they started him on the “DEI is reverse racism, and that’s why you didn’t get that job!” Crap via whatever indoctrination he stated with.
Dog whistles technically aren’t quiet, they are out of the audible frequency for humans, but dogs can perceive them because their hearing range goes beyond the 20k Hz range that is the upper limit for human ears. Sort of like how we can feel the heat from infrared light we just can’t see it, but point an infrared camera at the light source and it’s bright.
I’m ok with the GOP looking bad, making gaff after gaff. This time in particular. And I would love to have the GOP become a functional governing party, that was inclusive of all citizens. Not holding my breath. But that saying, “A house that is divided against itself cannot stand.” keeps coming to mind. If half of my home were rotting away, I sure would want to do something about that.

Most Turnip voters don’t know what DEI stands for and will never look it up on principle.
Man, I wish they would stop slandering cathode ray tubes.

It’s #MAGA for the N word.
It’s their loudest dogwhistle.

This guy whistle dogs.
They even both have hard Rs
Billionaires are in the 1%, truly a minority of the global population.
Trump is a diversity hire.
He’s a nepo baby, a DEI hire needs to face adversity from the system to get where they are, a nepo baby is put into power despite their incompetence.
Perhaps he’s a DEI hire AND a Nepo baby?
He’s also more brain-dead than RFK’s worm and his pants are filled with more piss and shit than a port-a-potty at a Beer 'n Bad Shrimp convention
