MAGA: I hope you liberals can see now that DEI was always the problem. And I know what you're going to say, no that doesn't make me racist, facts don't care abo–
LIBERAL: Oh definitely.
MAGA: wait what?
L: I agree with you. DEI is 100% the problem.
M: Explain...?
L: See, here we were, the majority, all ready to get behind our candidate and really do some wonderful things in this great nation, all united behind one single cause. But then, out of nowhere, diversity struck. MAGA, the Tea Party, christofascists, the KKK, even literal actual Nazis, all under the banner of "Republicans". I don't think we need all that Diversity. We're going to get rid of it.
M: wait what do you mean get rid of—
L: But how did all that diversity gain power, when the majority was against it, you ask? I'm glad you asked. The electoral college. This DEI policy has gone on too long. It allows a bunch of red states with tiny populations to think they deserve equity in terms of voting for president. Obviously that Equity needs to stop.
M: but that would mean Kamala—
L: And it gets even worse. Because not only do red state minorities think they get to have equal voting power for president, they also think they get to be included in the Senate! Imagine, a tiny red state that's mostly dirt like Wyoming or Montana thinking their ideas about the law are as important as a gigantic world economy like California. Clearly, we don't need Inclusion either. The majority left can just write your laws for you.
M: no I don't want—
L: I'm so glad we're finally on the same page! Finally, after all these years of divisive rhetoric, we can band together and work to rid ourselves of the scourge of the Republican party, the electoral college, and tiny red states in the Senate. DEI was ALWAYS the problem. Down with DEI! Down with DEI!
M: BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT DEI MEANS
L: well what did you think DEI meant?
M: I THOUGHT IT MEANT BLACK PEOPLE
L: There it is.
