Because they blame everything on the current buzzword. It's DEI now. It was "woke" and "indoctrination" before. And everything is "radical" all the time.
It isn't "politicians". It's Republicans.
But, it is true! Deadly extreme ineptitude is the cause.
Why can't they just say removed, I know it's what they want to say, they know it's what they want to say, everyone knows it's what they want to say. Yet, we get this DEI, WOKE, CULTURAL MARXIST bullshit.
If you are a piece of shit racist, at least fucking assume it.
You start out in 1954 by saying, “N*****, n*****, n*****.” By 1968 you can’t say “n*****”—that hurts you, backfires. So you say stuff like, uh, forced busing, states’ rights, and all that stuff, and you’re getting so abstract. Now, you’re talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you’re talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is, blacks get hurt worse than whites.… “We want to cut this,” is much more abstract than even the busing thing, uh, and a hell of a lot more abstract than “N*****, n*****.”
- campaign consultant Lee Atwater explains how Republicans can win the vote of racists without sounding racist themselves, in 1981
Because outrage is the only other thing that gets them hard besides trans porn.
I hate the use of the general term politicians when its maga or republicans which is just a one and the same thing now. Honestly it would be great if they renamed the party which seems like such a trump thing to do anyway.
They say DEI because they can't use racist or sexist slurs. It's a blatant dog whistle and everyone knows what they mean.
because it's something they have done since 1979 at least. the country's problems aren't the fault of multinational corporations and a completely upside down tax code that overwhelmingly favors the super wealthy.
our problems are the fault of those shifty brown and black people, sponging off government largess, irresponsible, and always looking for a handout. the play hasn't changed. but the playcall has evolved.
blm, crt, woke, dei? it all means the same thing. it's just that they can't use the hard R in public.
not yet anyway.
Why politicians keep blaming ‘DEI’ for disasters, even when it’s laughably untrue.
If the top answer isn't racism/patriarchy then please just GTFO.
