Democrats’ big night has the internet joking that DEI is back

If election night results are any barometer, it might be time for everyone to get more woke.

The country saw a blue tsunami Tuesday night, with traditional Republican strongholds chipped away at — or even flipped — by Democrats. Jon Ossoff won reelection in Georgia handily; South Carolina's Senate seat flipped to blue; and Democrat James Talarico is Texas' next senator. The Associated Press called the race, saying the House and the Senate had flipped to Democratic control.

The internet has come to its own (somewhat joking) conclusion: DEI is so back. Delighted X users spent the evening joking that pronouns will return to email signatures, whether workers like it or not.

"YOU HAVE TWELVE HOURS TO PLACE THE PRONOUNS BACK IN YOUR EMAIL OR YOU WILL BE REPORTED," one X post read. Another joked that should Democrats win 53 or more Senate seats, pronouns would have to return to email signatures. New York City Council member Chi Ossé wrote "PRONOUNS BACK IN BIOS NOW" in response to favorable projections for Texas Democratic Senate hopeful James Talarico before his win was called. And yet another X post declared that there would be a new gender with every seat Democrats won.

My pronouns have always been, and will continue to be:

Shut. The-Eff. Up.

Have A Nice Day! :)

P.S. You may have temporarily WON, but in the long run you’re STILL a bunch of LOSERS.

Just as Trump apparently didn't learn: Just because their vote ends up in your column doesn't mean they weren't actually voting against the other candidate.

Loyalties like that can evaporate in an instant.

I was thinking DEI is back, Wednesday, was thinking this. Come January. It’s going to be a wild ride with all the freaks.

Internet joking. el-Sayed gloating and laughing at his opponents after the election. Must be a lot of it on MS Now and CNN and others I am avoiding.

Self-diagnosed and I don’t believe I really have a clinical case of it——
Gelotophobia—a personality trait characterized by a disproportionate fear of being laughed at.

No joke.

“please take a seat for your MANDATORY DEI training”

DEI is coming back. Racist and sexist hiring and promotion practices and stealing from people who actually work and produce stuff.
