Trumpist equity and inclusion.
In other words, stuffing the government full of people whose primary qualification is their unfaltering loyalty to President Trump. Is this meaningfully distinct on a structural level from DEI?
>DEI
A program which prioritizes over basic job competence a set of arbitrary metrics weighted stronger than said job competence. Primary inefficiency is in employing people who check political boxes but likely aren't the best people for the job.
>TEI
A program which prioritizes loyalty to the President over independent job competence. Likely also results in less competent people ending up in jobs for which others would be better suited... based on checking an arbitrary political box.
Can someone explain to me why DEI bad when brown people but OK when Trump loyalists? It seems to be the exact same metastructure... just with the shoe on the other foot.
