Was this supposed to convince anybody?

A lot of these Republicans secretly hate that their disabled neighbor gets government assistance. They hate having to deal with the bagger with down syndrome, or the autistic barista. They think their pregnant friend should be married, a stay-at-home-mom, and it should be her husband making the money. They don't want everybody to have an equal opportunity, they only want "people who deserve it" to have an opportunity. Where, of course, "people who deserve it" is conservative straight white men from rural areas, or whatever.

Honestly, how could you watch nearly 10 years of hateful rhetoric and think "oh, I just need to explain DEI better, then they'll support it!"

But how do you keep things fair for straight white males which is historically the most discriminated group against?

They don't care.

Hello I have a lot of those. I haven't had a job in 10 years because nobody will hire me because I'm unable to "pass" as able bodied neurotypical. I require a service dog with me.

I'm pretty much fucked where I live as I'm in a heavy republican state.

Let's see how long it takes for my public housing, medical and food stamps are taken away.

Why do you people think talking will help? You are so far past the point of honest discussion it's mind-blowing.

THERE IS NO EUREKA MOMENT COMING FROM RHETORIC.

Thats why when talking to conservatives you gotta target them, like if a pregant womans trying to make you agree with her on conservative points say hell yeah cant wait for them to get rid of all these pregnant woman that get paid for not working and just pop out babies to avoid work, if they're old make sure you talk about how you hope they get rid of social security, etc. Fully commit especially when they try to act like it should be kept, call them libreral snowflakes.

"Don't care, these are not issues for rich people."

They don't give a shit. Stop acting like they care.

It also includes type I and type II diabetes too so remember that when filling out those self identification forms

It's disingenuous to claim that this is all there is to DEI, or that this is the kind of thing that DEI opponents are actually opposing.

Oh and also the ADA was a thing before DEI, all this is covered by the the ADA, and I don't expect that most of the people opposed to DEI are also opposed to the ADA.

DEI is just another corporate grift.

They don't serve the worker. It is the state jobs to protect the worker and a union's if there is one.

Some drone collecting paycheck from a corpo is the same thing as HR.

These parasites love talking big game but when push comes, they will always larp what daddy owner class tell them to.

I am still bitter I was forced to sit through a DEI seminar during my work day. Never again.

This is why being infected with the Woke Mind Virus is the best plague imaginable.

There are jobs some people should not be doing.

Any job where physical strength is required should only hire people who are strong enough to perform the task at hand. I don't know a single person who gives a flying fuck what the gender, race or sexual orientation or the fire fighter is who pulls them out of a burning building is. But they would ABSOLUTELY care if their loved ones weren't pulled from the building because they decided to hire a bunch of scrawny people that can't lift anything.

Pregnant women shouldnt be working at all. At least not after the first few months. Especially not at jobs that deal with chemicals or anything that I could potentially harm the pregnancy or the mother during the pregnancy. We should have properly covered maternity leave so they do not need to risk themselves or the child. It's unbelievable to me that we don't have that yet.

Police should be required to stay fit in order to keep their jobs. It is insulting to see a fat ball of sweat roll out of their vehicles and struggle to do basic tasks. They absolutely need to have minimum physical requirements for that job. I know they do at the start but apparently once you get past the initial physical they never check again. I have seen countless videos of smaller framed female cops being thrown around by skinny crack heads because they simply are not physically large enough or strong enough to be doing that task.

I am all for equality of opportunity, but I will never support equality of outcome. Some people simply should not be doing certain things. Even if it's not their fault they can't do that thing there is no reason we should be forcing it.

Hire the most qualified person for all jobs at any given time. ESPECIALLY don't skip over qualified people who will be able to perform that job exactly as needed to fulfill some diversity quota. Support those who are incapable of working any jobs, but do not force them into critical positions simply because you don't want them to feel left out.

I understand this wishful thinking of "anyone can do anything they put their minds to" attitude that I often see around these topics but that is unfortunately disconnected from reality. I will never fly a fighter jet. Despite having decent G tolerances I have unbelievably fucked eyeballs so I will never be allowed to fly a jet for any reason. To put me in a jet would be dangerous and irresponsible for everyone involved. I was delt a bum hand genetically speaking and it is what it is. I can do other things with my life and I have.

Edit: spelling

Oh you mean the useless eaters? They're taking good jobs from hardworking abled Americans. /s

But seriously, disability rights are not as uncontroversial as she thinks.

Optimistic to believe that Republicans care about the disabled or differently abled. Them getting caught in the crossfire is a feature, not a bug.

Edit: I want to know who the fuck downvoted this. I'm not mad about it for me, I'm mad for her.
