When President Donald Trump declared, “We ended DEI” during his State of the Union address, two things became clear: his administration aimed to elevate white supremacy, and everyone who supported this regime shares the blame.
“White people were very badly treated,” Trump told the New York Times earlier this year when discussing the foundation of his administration’s racist policies, as he mentioned civil rights as a form of “reverse racism.”
Earlier this week, the president proved just how much he and his collaborators are in over their heads when he spoke about his latest self-inflicted wound, which is driving headlines. “Any deal they (Democrats) make, I’m pretty much not happy with it,” he said in reference to numerous proposed bipartisan bills to fund TSA that he refuses to support.
As the partial government shutdown continues, it has caused a national nightmare at airports, as wait times at major hubs are five to six hours. According to the Department of Homeland Security, more than 450 TSA officers have quit as they haven’t been paid in weeks. An already bad situation was escalated when Trump poured gasoline on a fire by ordering ICE to occupy 13 airports recently. According to former Trump official Steve Bannon, ICE’s presence at airports is a “test run” for placing them at the polls for upcoming elections.
If you hadn’t noticed, this country ran much more smoothly, and Americans slept a lot better, when the DEIs were in power. In case you forgot, one of the first things Trump did when he got back in office was to drop a plan that the Biden/Harris administration created that would require airlines to compensate travelers for disrupted flights.
So, for all the people who love to claim that they “don’t do politics,” who have been stuck in line for hours, remember that politics will always find a way to do you.
When I refer to DEIs, I’m primarily talking about Black people, given that diversity, equity, and inclusion were hijacked in the same vein as “urban,” “woke,” and “affirmative action” to be used as coded language to call us the N-word in a politically correct way.
However, I’m also referring to other minorities and people of color — and all the others who understand our value and what we bring to democracy — who have been targeted, laid off, fired, overlooked, belittled, penalized, and disenfranchised by this administration for voting against a twice-impeached felon because simply existing would place us in his crosshairs.
Trump’s first term in office was a nightmare, and the fact that he and his people governed during a global pandemic that forever changed world history highlighted just how inept and incapable they were at crisis management and running a country for the betterment of their citizens.
