Any time you see a politician ranting about DEI, replace it in your mind with the n-word. That’s what they’re really saying. No, it doesn’t matter that people of any race can use it; Republicans have spent the past 6 decades cementing the idea of public projects and vilified racial minorities being inherently linked.
Tf is Boot-edge-edge? I can't keep up with idiot name calling conventions.
Buttigieg.
It took me way too long to figure that out.
Thank you for that. I'm appreciably dumber now.
Yeah but like, what's the joke supposed to be? It is embarrassingly childish, but usually the name calling actually makes sense at least.
"Boot edge edge" is just nonsense. Like cool, you thought of similar sounding words.
Like preschool level shit.
and Bootyjudge was right there
This is not a demographic known for its witty rhetoric.
he sounds like an edgy teenager and he's in control of billions in tax money. I miss a world without xitter.
It’s called a bi-cycle for a reason ;)
Diversity of transport modes
Equity in infrastructure quality
Inclusion in transportation planning
Support our pollutionarily-challenged cyclist friends! Not everyone is able to make a mess of the environment equally!
How are we still doing climate change denial in $current_weather?
Oh come on, snake_casing when you could have made it look like an $ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE?
The casing is not important here because, no matter how you write it the "current weather" always is an ENVIRONMENT variable ;)
It has been unseasonably cool where I live. We're talking low 80's, 26-ish celcius.
Weather is very hard to conceptualize for us monkeys. It's very easy for someone who never needs to stay in one place to have a completely incorrect perception of what weather or climate actually is. People who do stay in one place seem to struggle with it, that should tell you what you need to know.
It's all in-group pandering and shitty petro-masculinity. No conservatives should be in power. They are bad people.
petro-masculinity
That's a new term for me, thanks. Been seeing a lot of that recently, and I had a thought: my EV and solar panels aren't just about the environment, they're independence. I can make a kilowatt-hour with stuff I have at home. I cannot make a gallon of gasoline with stuff I have at home.
DEI is everything I don't like. Same as woke.
Why do republicans insist on waking up from sleep every morning?
Waking up is super woke.
Real TRUE PATRIOTS go to sleep once, and stay that way forever, to own the libz.
New Mitch McConnell spin just dropped
"I just stole 1.7 billion dollars!"
That's all I'm hearing
Boot-edge-edge
...What the fuck is this? An insulting name for Buttigieg? Stupid.
That's how Pete's 2016 campaign presented it phonetically when people were still unsure how to pronounce his name. Not much of an insult but nobody has ever accused this administration of being clever.
A bad one at that. Come on Booty-judge is right there.
Thank you for figuring it out, I was stumped.
Its a DEI bike lane because you didn't earn it. You earn a lane by taking on $80,000 in debt to buy a F350.
Instructions unclear, I'm now stuck in the bike lane with my F350
imagine being proud to be such a bigoted piece off shit. Holy shit.
yeah you just redirected it into your pockets you fucking crooks
Commas are WOKE commie!
I just redirected $1.73 billion in USDOT grants away from Biden-era DEI pet projects
To where? The war?
I've come to the conclusion that most of the Twitter Trump Parrots have absolutely no idea what most of their daily hate words even mean.
Eight minutes’ hate.
"Everything I don't like I'll label Woke, DEI, Communist, Socialist, Antifa or Liberal. They are too dumb to know they are being played"
Anyone who has a problem with bike lanes should just kill themselves and save the rest of us from their dumbassery. Duffy is another waste of skin.
It's kinda like gatcha currency, where the extra step makes it harder for people to know how much they're spending.
They spent so long trying to establish that "DEI is bad", without clearly defining what it is or why it's bad. But people just went along and accepted it. So now they can literally just point to something and say "That's DEI!" and that extra step is too much for people to put together they're just being told not to like something without a proper reason. And they just believe it because they succumb to social pressure easily and go along with whatever the "in-group" does because they're afraid of becoming part of the "out-group".
And the crazy thing is that they were never part of the "in-group" to begin with they just think they are lol. It's really kinda crazy manipulation. I'd respect it if they weren't using it to enrich themselves and fist fuck the planet.
It's because they're too LGB(iciclyst)T[...]-friendly.
Ya, I'm bi(cyclist). I'm also down with multi-modal trans(portation).
He's going to regret not having bike lanes when Trump restarts war with Iran, and this time without strategic oil reserve.
Car brain <---> Fascism
What about all those DEI highways huh?
