US politics - the new orange wave (Part 7)

I don’t understand why more acceptance over time from Democrats for DEI, Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, is considered a bad thing.

Can you help me with that?

The mainstream media is fake news elitist garbage now watch me uncritically run to the nearest social media account that will tell me what I want to hear using a cut and paste from the mainstream media.
And I will not pause for a moment to reflect on that.

Apparently DEI training can make us angrier and more resentful/divided

Research by the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) and Rutgers University’s Social Perception Lab found that certain DEI practices pushed on participants led some of them to become irrationally confrontational and antagonistic.

“The evidence presented in these studies reveals that while purporting to combat bias, some anti-oppressive DEI narratives can engender a hostile attribution bias and heighten racial suspicion, prejudicial attitudes, authoritarian policing, and support for punitive behaviors in the absence of evidence for a transgression deserving punishment,” the study released Monday argues.

Responding with a post focused entirely on cultural issues demonstrates that you either fundamentally misunderstood, or completely failed to grasp the points that @tinhillterror and @simmo41 were making.

I’m going to need that broken down, I think. I’m not following that very long sentence in there.
In fact, I’m really not getting whatever point is being made in your post at all, and I recognise that’s my shortcoming.

I understand that it makes some people angry.
It obviously doesn’t make as many Democrats as angry anymore. Or at least that’s the position in the original tweet.

Can you get us the source of this data, I’d be keen to understand how they’ve created these charts? I mean, it doesn’t even have a sample size. They could’ve just interviewed Fox News viewers for all I know.

interesting word choice

but yeah this study can go under “no sht dck tracy”

core beliefs are chock full of learned bias

challenging bias means challenging core beliefs

and people fkng hate having their core beliefs challenged

Anyone can use statistics to prove their point. 14% of all people know that.

It’s a legit data source.

Can’t comment on legitimacy of the analysis, though. Good data doesn’t ever assure good analysis.

And the graphic was pulled from a Financial Times article.

I’ll have to look when I’m not in the phone.

Still don’t believe any genuine influential or organised radical left groups exist in any forms.

Society only moves as fast as the slowest people to change.

Religion used to be a modulator on pace of change but now has no influence.

We’ve made so many social changes in such a short period of time it’s hardly surprising there’s been a backlash, especially given some of those changes (particularly in the gender space) have been so stupid.

What changes?

I havent made any social changes.

Maybe i should

So … Trump and Vance serving up America on a platter for their friends and relatives to gorge themselves on.

How apt.
