    “DEI Hire” just sounds like the new N word. She’s more qualified than a lot of people on the hill and certainly more than her opponent and his VP combined, but she’s still somehow just a “DEI Hire.”

      I think using DEI as a racist dogwhistle like they did CRT is really going to backfire on them. Anyone who spells out the acronym will get a sense that the Democratic candidate(s) receiving this slander is for diversity, equity and inclusion. So Team Trump is for uniformity, inequity and exclusion? Kinda says the quiet part out a bit too loud.

        He’s a nepo baby, a DEI hire needs to face adversity from the system to get where they are, a nepo baby is put into power despite their incompetence.

        Dog whistles technically aren’t quiet, they are out of the audible frequency for humans, but dogs can perceive them because their hearing range goes beyond the 20k Hz range that is the upper limit for human ears. Sort of like how we can feel the heat from infrared light we just can’t see it, but point an infrared camera at the light source and it’s bright.
