No, no. You’re giving them too much credit. All it took for the likes of Tim Pool to decry DEI is that the pilot at the time of incident with the door plug was a woman. He wondered aloud if she “pressed the wrong button” and the airline “deleted the flight recordings to cover it up” as if theres some door ejector button on board and as if both boeing and the airline wouldn’t be tripping over themselves to pass the blame off on an incompetent pilot if given even a sliver of an opportunity to do so.
All Chick-fil-A had to do was hire a VP with DEI in their title. Bud light simply gifted a can to a trans person with their picture on it. Target just sold a modest bathing suit for adults just with a wider gusset and mild binding effect as an ideal option for trans wearers.
No, all you would need is something like this:
No actual logic or policy required. Bald-faced fear mongering is plenty enough to rile them up. Anything to redirect the blame for societal enshittification to identity politics instead of the obvious conclusions of capitalism falling into an unmitigated death spiral.
We could probably fine tune an LLM to handle that tbh, if you can’t beat em, join em lmao
Oh man I hear there’s insanely good money in right-wing grifting
