I need a trumper to explain to me how this isn’t discriminatory. Explain to me like I’m as mentally challenged as your average maga cultist.

I admittedly stalk the r/conservative and r/republican subreddits.

1% is like "let's not do what the democrats were trying to do to us.. we're better!", 60% is like "yeah take that. Now you know what it feels like!". The rest just post "Thank you President Trump!"

They’re a bunch of knuckle-dragging mouthbreathers. Nothing anyone preaches in that shithole is relevant to anyone outside of their own inbred circus of a choir.

It is discriminatory. And that's how Trumpers like it. The greatness the MAGA movement wants to return the country to is Jim Crow, segregation, child labor, etc.

They want you back in the mines with no PPE or health plan. You are expected to work until you're no longer useful, and then immediately die.

It is discriminatory, and that's the point. He wants to see if he can get away with this, and when he does (because we all know SCOTUS will give him their blessing), he'll move on to people who have the "wrong" choice of religious preference, the "wrong" political beliefs, and the "wrong" immutable characteristics.

It's all moving toward prohibiting gay and interracial marriage. That's the ultimate goal. You are only allowed to fuck who they allow you to fuck.

"It's not discriminatory, you're discriminatory."

Unassailable logic.

[–] Stabbitha@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

What on god's green earth makes you think trumpers want non-discriminatory policies?

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Likely they'll say it's to "pay back for DEI".

[–] pupbiru@aussie.zone 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

i mean, they literally use DEI as an argument for cutting this stuff… they say that LGBTQ orgs are discriminating against heterosexuals, and that support orgs for specific racial issues are discriminatory against whites

so it’s equally the devil and also the weapon they’re using

[–] Sconrad122@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

So, affirmative action for the straights, guess MAGA no longer thinks AA is discriminatory lol

"Rules for thee, but not for me" is literally the foundation of conservatism.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 days ago

But it is supposed to be discriminatory.
