DEI panders to identity politics by dividing people into grievance-based tribes. Prioritizing your own citizens, as any functioning nation should, is the exact opposite of that. Having borders and a nation is not DEI. Give me a break. “This is protectionism” Of course it’s protectionism. And? If you think protecting American workers and jobs is a bad thing, who exactly do you think a government should serve? Foreigners? (Hint: Corporate major shareholders and their lobbyists and pet politicians, and any headhunting grifters who can pay their 10% entry fee to keep the grift going - i.e. Globalists, or in Elon's case, with his aspiration to become interplanetary, TransGlobalists. He prefers the term Meritocracy, or should that be Meritocracist? MeritocRacist? Payback jab for the DEI comment.) “You don't want to win” Define “winning.” If you’re so obsessed with “winning” that you’d turn the American people into a demoralized, displaced underclass in their own nation, then you’ve not only lost but have completely missed the point of why nations exist in the first place. History lesson - US was founded in 1776. H1B visa introduced in 1990. Doubtful that H1B visas made America. — RAMZPAUL (@ramzpaul) December 28, 2024 Student visas have been going on a lot longer and they are what almost screened me out at the start. Plus there was Affirmative Action back then too, but I'm not so sure that had an effect on me. Now they've replaced that with DEI because Affirmative Action was finally realized to be unConstitutional. Well then, what is DEI? What is this push to prioritize Corporations over Citizens? Worse than DEI is what it is. Elon says "I've been very clear that H-1B is broken and needs major reform." The reforms needed go beyond that, but we already knew that. America First = Americans First Not Americans only, but we already knew that too.
