It seems ironic that all of trump’s picks are what conservatives complained about being DEI hires.
Political Memes
Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
Accusations, confessions, etc.
I feel like this isn't visceral enough.
It's so insanely true, but people don't understand... When they accuse someone of something, they're about to do it, if they aren't doing it already
I think this is why I found myself sobbing when my personal AI assistant called me human too many times...
Holy fuck, today I heard Trump say, "we're going to go into Fort Knox and see if someone stole the gold" and without skipping a beat, my brain immediately went to "this guy is literally going to steal gold from Fort Knox." Because of course he is
They live a life of hypocrisy. They're the in-crowd allowed to do all of the things the rest of us are not, because we're not part of the cult.
Here I go again....
It's utterly bizarre that this is what we, as a society, have chosen for ourselves.
Fuck.
Enough of us that this is what we have to experience, anyway.
That, and a gerontocracy. Which, probably explains how we got to be in a kakistocracy....
Kash absolutely looks like he lied his way to the top and has no idea what he is doing or how he got there.
Does he always look like a deer in headlights or is this just a bad ~~mug~~headshot?
Ask yourself... If Putin was President of America and wanted to destroy 200 years of progress, who would he put in charge of the various departments... And then this all makes sense.
Well, he'd put people he has direct control over in those positions, but this is the next best thing.
Like Tulsi Gabbard, JD Vance, MTG, Candace Owens, ticker Carlson, Bannon, Gaetz, Gossar, etc?
When they say "DEI" it's an euphemism for the N-word...
When was the last time RFK actually looked like that photo
you mean alive and not half dead?
I'm guessing it was before the "left a bear carcass in Central Park" episode.
I thought RFK Jr. was a doctor. Looked it up. He's a doctor of law. No medical experience.
Well, he's really qualified because of his podcasting. Actually, now that I think about it, that's a theme
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Trump picks people from a few lists:
- Republicans with a strong presence on social media.
- Whoever wrote the relevant bit of Project 2025.
- People plausibly accused of being Russian assets.
And for Donnie that's top qualification for a position he knows nothing about.
I was recently rewatching old wresting so I got to see the education secretary have a tag team match with her husband and kids. Also saw her pretending to be comatose while her husband made out with a young woman. The same husband that wanted to do a storyline in which he is the father of his daughter’s baby
Patel already has the thousand yard stare
That looks like a mugshot, lol!
In the eyes of MAGA, the only qualification is loyalty to Trump.
D on Jr.
E ric
I vanka
Cool! Now do "nepotism"!!!
Never Expect Professional Officials. This Isn't Some Meritocracy!
Are we sure Patel doesn't have experience? Fucker looks like he has seen some shit. God what a weird stare.
I've always thought he looked like an actual crazy person. Most people in Trump's orbit are likely just pretending to be crazy, but Patel always looks like a cornered animal with a gun.
Patel looks like he just saw God in the middle of a coke-binge.
DEI would not have prevented these hires, as they resulted from nepotism.
I believe we are conflating these two issues and failing to recognize why DEI hiring has some positive effects. By requiring employers to diversify their hiring practices, DEI initiatives inadvertently help combat nepotism, an unforeseen benefit of these policies.
Nepotism is specifically for family, like when he got Ivanka involved in whitehouse affairs.
This would be cronyism.
The claim being made by the right is that they have to get rid of DEI to make it more of a meritocracy where people are hired only due to their ability and experience. This clearly shows they give zero shits about a meritocracy.
The problem is OP assumes that they have any kind of shame or that double standards and cognitive dissonance isn't just their natural state at this point.
Patel sure sounds like a minority name to me.. so WOKE! /s
Why does RFK Jr look like he's been airbrushed to hell and back
Probably because he has 🤷
To be fair: Linda kicked Vince in the balls at least once
Does "belonging behind bars" count as law enforcement experience?
“A pensioner, a woman and a n… brown person. I’ll be gay if they ain’t DEI”
they have a lot of experience in scamming people, that should count for something
Hello Americans. What is DEI?
"Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion", effectively a term for anti-discrimination measures employed by organizations.
To add to PugJesus' comment, it's also a term that the far right uses for anything they don't like, same as "woke."
