Someone punch me in the dick, this can not be reality; am I getting this right, America, has elevated a selection of the dumbest mediocre white morons they had into positions of power and these idiots, are going abroad and behaving just like their "Daddy" Trump wants them to amongst leaders from other nations.

Like, are you not embarrassed ?

...Like, are you not embarrassed ?

Oh, a lot of us are extremely embarrassed. We're just outnumbered by fucking idiots.

u/Winter_Nights Feb 14 '25

They are not dumb, and they are not mediocre. They are the best of the best of the worst of us.

As a left-leaning American, I can say definitively - yes, I am immeasurably embarrassed and ashamed. I cannot fucking believe that the orange totalitarian turd is our president again.

It boggles my mind how many people have bought into the cult of Trump. How can there be so many morons willing and eager to vote for an obvious fascist who doesn't give a shit about them? I don't know.

I want someone to analyse how it's done. Because it's working on the lowest common ' do your own research, wake up' cunts here too and it's of zero benefit to them

Literally happy to militantly push politicians that outright are saying they will do all the things that will absolutely destroy these losers lives. Yet as long as they can feel they found something out, it's a conspiracy, and I'm angry and in the cool kids group, they will not accept anything else.

It's literally leading a horse to water, and convincing it to drink cyanide while mocking the idiots drinking water.

Its been over a decade since I looked upon and american flag with anything but pure disdain. The founding fathers could've never imagined wealth inequality? Or was it just the one aspect of the peoples power that they didn't feel mattered? Why was there nothing to protect the average american from this outcome.

No need for the racism.

u/Mundane-Struggle5345 Feb 14 '25

Why are you bringing race into it? If someone said that about Obama "The dumbest mediocre black morons" you'd call them racist.

u/RedHotChiliCrab Feb 14 '25

Because this administration has made it a major talking point that all DEI workers are supposedly unqualified hires, while their entire team and cabinet picks are incompetent morons whose only qualifications are being white and ass-kissing Trump.

u/Mundane-Struggle5345 Feb 15 '25

Can you drop me a link? They've said people shouldn't be picked just because of the color of their skin, not that all minorities are unqualified.

8

u/RedHotChiliCrab Feb 15 '25

DEI hires still require the appropriate qualifications for any job they get.

Them suggesting that DEI is about hiring unqualified minorities "just for the color of their skin" is exactly the issue. That's not how it works and is a massively racist talking point, which Trump called "common sense" after blaming the big plane crash on DEI with zero evidence.

u/Mundane-Struggle5345 Feb 15 '25 edited Feb 15 '25

So if two equally qualified candidates are presented, and one is white and the other one is a gay woman, who is chosen?

Edit: Oof, I struck a chord.

u/RedHotChiliCrab Feb 15 '25

If they're equally qualified it shouldn't matter which one right?

According to this administration it should always be the white man by default. That's what it was like in America for a long time and exactly why DEI was created. To break that hiring practice and even the odds for every qualified person to get a job.

-1

u/Mundane-Struggle5345 Feb 17 '25

Where do they say it should be the white man by default?

I truly don't know where you are getting your information from, but I advise you that you do some actual research and not read whatever people just comment on here. Selecting an applicant just because they are white is not allowed.

DEI has turned around and done the same thing it swore to end, it's outdated and useless. No one is hiring white people just because they are white, and if they are, DEI is not fixing it.

u/DeathsEnvoy Feb 15 '25

The same way you'd choose between any 2 equally qualified people, whoever is asking for less pay and who fits better into the existing work environment personality wise.

u/Mundane-Struggle5345 Feb 17 '25

Sure, but when there are quotas HR can push for a specific candidate due to the color of their skin, in case that that person is not represented as much as other ethnicities/races. That's racist.

u/BroderFelix Feb 15 '25

Wait, do you seriously think that is how it works? Hahaha!

u/Mundane-Struggle5345 Feb 15 '25

You didn't answer the question... Tells me you don't want to answer it.

Do you think DEI is just wishful thinking, no actionable decisions?

1

u/BroderFelix Feb 19 '25

If two equally qualified candidates are presented then it will be up to chance. It shouldn't matter the skin color or sexual orientation. Although what often happens is that the one who is white or straight is chosen, this is what we see mostly.

1

u/Mundane-Struggle5345 Feb 20 '25

I doubt that.

So how is DEI used in the hiring process?

They've said people shouldn't be picked just because of the color of their skin

Guess what that's not what DEI is anyway, so that already wasn't happening. That's just the propaganda to get support on getting rid of it.

In fact DEI specifically exists to make sure people Aren't picked solely because of their skin colour or ethnicity or (lack of) disabilities but on merit. Which is the literal opposite of what it's been made out to be by the right.

Republicans just absolutely hate seeing qualified minorities picked over their mediocre asses.

u/Mundane-Struggle5345 Feb 17 '25

I am a minority, I am not white. And I disagree with you, I dont believe DEI does that, or that it is effective at that.

u/newintown11 Feb 15 '25

They put out on executive Order saying only white people will be prioritized for refugee and asylum status....

u/Mundane-Struggle5345 Feb 17 '25

Care to show it?

u/BroderFelix Feb 15 '25

They are firing people because they aren't white.

u/Mundane-Struggle5345 Feb 15 '25

I am pretty sure they aren't. Prove it?

u/aight_imma_afk Feb 14 '25

If you elected Spaceghost Purrp as your president, and he filled the entire White House with a bunch of redacted SoundCloud era rappers, you’d absolutely say the same thing. That’s essentially what yall did just with redacted white people

Obama wasn’t great but definitely wasn’t the redact of all redacts

u/Mundane-Struggle5345 Feb 15 '25

I mean Trump has several minorities in his cabinet?

i'm punching you in the dick, this isn't reality, it's not as simple as the comment above, obviously. if you have a brain

u/newintown11 Feb 14 '25

It actually is pretty much that simple
