Democrats and Their DEI Albatrosses
American Greatness ^ | 29 May, 2025 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 05/29/2025 5:28:39 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Democrats are trapped by the toxic DEI ideology they created—too afraid to reform, too broken to survive without it.

A few Democrat officeholders, activists, and pundits are finally coming to their senses that their brand is toxic to a majority of the American people.

The Biden administration killed what was left of it in a number of ways.

First, it serially lied to Americans about the cognitive decline and cancerous condition of President Joe Biden, both while in and after office.

Only when caught did the complicit media fess up that the Biden inner circle serially misled the American people about Biden’s inability to fulfill the duties of the presidency.

Second, left-wing politicos used Biden as a waxen effigy. His job was to pose as a “moderate” cover to push through the most radical and unpopular agenda in the last half century.

Only that way could “Old Joe Biden from Scranton” and his backroom handlers ram down the throat of the American people unpopular policies that nearly wrecked the country: hyperinflation and $7 trillion in new debt, weaponization of the government, and partisan lawfare, an open border and 12 million illegal aliens, a racialist DEI commissariat, a crackpot Green New Deal, defunding the police, biological men competing in girls’ sports, and two theater-wide wars abroad.

Third, without either a functional president or viable initiatives, the new hard-left Democrats sought to brand Donald Trump as “Hitler” and half the country who supported him as “fascists.”

For nearly nine years, the Democrats launched one failed hoax after another on the American people: “Russian collusion,” “laptop disinformation,” and the lying so-called “51 intelligence authorities.” They proved quite willing to undermine the rule of law by manipulating the court system in efforts to destroy their bogeyman, Donald Trump.

I agree. They want a Dysfunctional Society so DEI fits the bill on that.

GODLESS REPROBATES
are at WAR WITH REALITY, BIOLOGY
and a RIGHTEOUS ALMIGHTY GOD


DEMOCRATS put MEN in WOMEN'S BATHROOMS..
DEMOCRATS put MEN in WOMEN'S SPORTS.
DEMOCRATS put MEN IN WOMEN'S LOCKER ROOMS.


TRUTH SOUNDS LIKE HATE TO
THOSE WHO HATE THE TRUTH


Democrats are at War
with Reality, Biology
and Almighty God


That Old Serpent 🐍 called the Devil and Satan
has been busy since before Genesis chapter 19.

Depends on the Democrat. Most of those who are embarrassed by it are potential Trump voters.

“I don’t think that democRATs are even embarrassed about DEI.”

The power base, (Soros, Gates, etc.), needs DEI to facilitate the destruction of America. The goal, in my opinion, is one world government, and America stands directly in the way of that.

Given that the power wants DEI, the Dem politicians do what they always do, fall in line.

The schools have done their job with indoctrination. Nearly 1/2 of America sees DEI as a good thing.

A related, interesting story unfolding now involving Generac and a Christian manager that was fired for not addressing an employee by their chosen pronouns. Insane.

SHARE THE WORD OF ALMIGHTY GOD

QUICKLY - FOR THE DAYS ARE EVIL

✝️✝️✝️🙏🙏🙏🛐🛐🛐


Romans 1:24-28
Evangelical Heritage Version

24 So, as they followed the sinful desires of their hearts, God handed them over to the impurity of degrading their own bodies among themselves.

25 Such people have traded the truth about God for the lie, worshipping and serving the creation rather than the Creator, who is worthy of praise forever. Amen.

26 For this reason God handed them over to disgraceful passions. Even their females exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.

27 And, in the same way, their males, after abandoning natural sexual relations with females, were consumed by their lust for one another. Males perform indecent acts with males and receive in themselves the penalty that is fitting for their perversion.

28 And since they did not consider it worthwhile to hold on to the true knowledge of God, God handed them over to a corrupted mind to do things that should never be done.

Romans 1:32
English Standard Version

32 Though they know God’s righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.

So what if “democrats say…”
They are not in control, they are just loud. They are stupid enough to elect openly homosexual people to public office.
Do not accept the trans idiocy, and any school administrator who pushes it should be flogged mercilessly. Anyone pushing it should be flogged mercilessly.

“For nearly nine years, the Democrats launched one failed hoax after another”

VDH left off two hoaxes: Obama’s birth certificate and the 2020 election steal. Obama is the original sin. The 2020 election steal is the mortal sin.

DEI is a major contributor to a Dysfunctional Society so it fits in with their agenda very well.

Ping! Out to the Victor Davis Hanson list

The left created DEI—the use of race to adjudicate every political issue.

And like any addictive, toxic drug, they now can neither survive with DEI—nor without it.

A good discussion with the long view, of the choices that the Democratic Party faces.

Lol I know what you mean. To a degree, I’d say, but the ability of the players overrides DEI. They want to win.

The lies and inherent unfairness of DEI is imploding, as systems built on lies and unfairness inevitably do (the old Soviet Union, for example).

And, not a minute too soon - as too many lives were destroyed by enforced DEI policies.
