DEI - Deceive, Enrich, Inflame | Talking Politics With Mom - Episode 09

The concept of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) has become an all-purpose scapegoat for Republicans in recent years - responsible for everything from the LA fires to the recent plane crash in Washington DC. In this episode, Mom and I discuss the origins of how this concept became the default reactionary bugaboo, and how it is designed to distract from Trump's effort to dismantle the administrative state to support his inner circle of billionaire buddies like Elon Musk. DEIA (they like to forget about the A) is a pretense to allow them to plunder the federal government. And none of this will benefit the American people.The Right-Wing frames the issue of DEI around the idea of "The Meritocracy" while they place the least qualified people imaginable into positions of power. To Trump - Merit is defined by loyalty to Trump...Support us on PatreonHosted by Adrienne Larkin and Will Gordh
