It's like they found a racism/sexism cheat code, and are just going to hammer it for as long as they can. Non-white, non-male = Not deserving. White men however, are always deserving.

This is 100% the rule that they have an constantly apply.  White men, by definition, cannot be a DEI hire, so they MUST be a merit hire.

Minorities/women CAN be a DEI hire, and therefore, all such hires ARE DEI hires, and are not merit-based.

Most of the right wing personalities couldn't qualify to run a McDonalds.  Shoving a dildo in your ass, being a drunk, crying and raging during interviews, is what passes for republican thought leaders.

So if inflation has been defeated, does that mean we're going to have deflation? Because.... That doesn't go well. At least that's what the economists tell me. But what do they know.

Charlie Kirk is a child of privilege with a substandard intellect with a shit stained soul.

I wonder what % of Charlie Kirk's shares and engagement are well meaning, reasonable people who disagree and ridicule his horrendous bullshit. Either way he gets paid, and the more engagement he gets only stimulates the algorithms to spread his garbage even further

a guy i’ve known basically my entire life, who is a huge republican donor, posted this to his IG story:

can’t wrap my head around it. not even one little bit. it’s surreal. i mean, we live in TEXAS. what better living example is there that the republican party is the one that insists on being all up in your shit?!?! how can you live here every single day and think that the republican party is the party of small government? i don’t know if i will every get used to how many of my peers are the dumbest, most gullible fucking chumps on the planet. 

Whenever Rex or whoever the fuck calls CR an echo chamber/cabal and you start questioning if they’re right just go look at that comment section full of retards.

When you see people as they are it really makes you think back to growing up in Texas. Seeing what my hometown of Lampasas now is made me think back to if there were signs of this when I was a child that I would not have paid much attention to because, you know, I was a kid. I thought back and many things I saw as a kid made me realize that most of what I saw growing up was a complete farce.

Same here.  

I didn't realize it at the time but very few of my 1978 classmates from Corpus would ever leave town.  Half of them went to aigy, with the rest split between UT and a smattering of other schools.  Looking them up now on Facebook is, uh, interesting.

Never mind that the whole point of DEI is not to elevate unqualified minorities, it’s to prevent qualified minorities from being passed over in favor of white men, as has been the default for as long as anyone can remember.

Really though you can pretty much take “DEI” and replace it with the hard R n-word in most of these people’s statements and it more accurately reflects what they mean.

This is the future buckle up, elections delayed when dear leader is unpopular, elections when he starts a war and spaghetti forgive wins it. Most likely after extreme handouts like during covid. Elections cancelled after he has totalitarian power.

The argument isn't invalid though, to align with other standard election cycles in an attempt to boost voter turnout.

This is correct. And I’m an alarmist, but this sort of thing isn’t unprecedented. Lots of local entities have/had May elections. They either delayed or moved them up in some cases to align with November elections, meaning they are much cheaper to run (the state was already going to have polling places set up). Some officials might see their term extended slightly, or shortened slightly.

Now, will THIS admin pull some other shenanigans? Of course.

Facts have a liberal bias. Conservatives live in a fantasy world like “the secret” where if they think it, and will it, it must be true.

It is partly how they navigate cognitive dissonance. “We are the party of freedom, oh people don’t like unrestricted access to guns, we’ll ignore that.. people want access to health care? well, we can tell them what they can have. 40% of the population disagrees with us? Well, we will gerrymander them down to no power. We love freedom. Oh, we love low taxes, but we keep running up debt and raising taxes on the non elites. We love the business and economy, well we will have shittier growth because of our shittier leaders. We hate wars, but we will start then and let someone else finish it. We love the military so lets cut their benefits. We love law and order, but we are the party of felons, conmen, convicts, and pardoning violent criminals. We love the children, so we are the party of pedophiles. We love Jesus, so we ignore everything he said. We protect our people so we sell weapons to people who attacked us and butchered our people. We love freedom of the press, except if they don’t report do exactly what we say with no fact checking.

Shall I go on?

I thought about posting this. 

I go back and forth about if why they did it is a good reason because putting the elections the same time as other election cycles sort of makes sense to me.

I actually think there should be no off cycle elections unless election days are going to be moved to Saturday or made a work holiday

double off year elections are really anti-democratic, so i'm in favor of getting rid of them. 

Yeah, there's been a movement here (Seattle) to switch to even years; the state lege forced all municipalities into off-year elections in 1969, so both municipal and state law would need to change. Turnout in off years even in a vote by mail state like WA is about half of even-year elections. That said, terms would be shortened by a year at the bridge rather than adding an extra year as Miami is doing.

Oh well, at least we're going to ranked-choice primaries in two years.

Work holiday to vote.  Good one.

I like it. A few years ago we did this in Austin. The local Democratic machine tried to stop it because (and this argument was made out loud, in public) there was a risk that a Republican would wind up on the city council. 
That’s not a good reason.

As I was catching up, I was planning to mention that I thought Austin had switched from May to November municipal elections a few years ago, although I didn't realize there'd been opposition to it because it made complete sense to me at the time.

This will work because people have been desensitized and are used to prices now. And they are fucking morons.

It’s not a good reason but you can damn sure bet the other side plays these fuck-fuck games when it benefits them.
