What about all those DEI highways huh?
What the fuck kind of car infrastructure can you buy for less than $2B? Duffy is a virtue signalling shithead.
When words like "woke" "DEI" or any of the other ones adjacent to them are use to express displeasure of any kind I immediately lose interest in what they have to say.
Muchlike i do with people that blame [insert thing they don't like] on [insert political ideology they don't agree with] instead of coming up with, you know, facts and reasoning or something.
Bike lanes are weak and unmanly because they don't contribute to our demise as a species.
Why do republicans insist on waking up from sleep every morning?
Waking up is super woke.
Real TRUE PATRIOTS go to sleep once, and stay that way forever, to own the libz.
New Mitch McConnell spin just dropped
Boot-edge-edge
...What the fuck is this? An insulting name for Buttigieg? Stupid.
That's how Pete's 2016 campaign presented it phonetically when people were still unsure how to pronounce his name. Not much of an insult but nobody has ever accused this administration of being clever.
A bad one at that. Come on Booty-judge is right there.
Thank you for figuring it out, I was stumped.
"Everything I don't like I'll label Woke, DEI, Communist, Socialist, Antifa or Liberal. They are too dumb to know they are being played"
I'd even add "Green" in there. And "Rigged".
To be fair, it's likely the midterms will actually be rigged this time.
Interestingly, none of these words actually mean anything. Those that do (green, socialist) are used only metaphorically.
I will receive a lot of downvotes, but I remember the time when words were used to inspire thoughts that inspire emotions. Today they go straight to emotions
These people need to be closed in with a running engine into a small room...
Car brain <---> Fascism
imagine being proud to be such a bigoted piece off shit. Holy shit.
"I just stole 1.7 billion dollars!"
That's all I'm hearing
Any time you see a politician ranting about DEI, replace it in your mind with the n-word. That’s what they’re really saying. No, it doesn’t matter that people of any race can use it; Republicans have spent the past 6 decades cementing the idea of public projects and vilified racial minorities being inherently linked.
N-word bike lane doesn't make any sense unless there's a separate Whites bike lane...and as much as these fucks would love to bring back Jim Crow and segregation, I really don't see them putting in a bike lane just for the whites, let alone one for the blacks.
They'll put in a special lane for rollin' coal on the interstate before they do that.
That’s what the entire second half of my comment was about. Public transit isn’t segregated by law either, but the unashamed racists will tell you they don’t take it because it’s for black people. Atlanta’s metro service, MARTA, has been pejoratively called ‘moving Africans rapidly through Atlanta’ since before a lot of people on here were born. They incite racial hatred and then rhetorically link social programs and racial minorities to make racists more okay with having programs that benefit them cut. This is why food stamps went from one of the most supported to one of the most vilified, politicized welfare programs.
Proving that the fossil fuel hordes are the ones dividing people.
By far, most cyclists I see are white men. Are white men the reason DEI is a problem?
In a roundabout way...sure.
Tf is Boot-edge-edge? I can't keep up with idiot name calling conventions.
Buttigieg.
It took me way too long to figure that out.
Yeah but like, what's the joke supposed to be? It is embarrassingly childish, but usually the name calling actually makes sense at least.
"Boot edge edge" is just nonsense. Like cool, you thought of similar sounding words.
Like preschool level shit.
Probably couldn’t spell it correctly, and copes by pretending he’s owning a lib.

Every time you see the term "DEI" or "woke" or whatever, just imagine it's some loser fucking dude from the mid 2000s in a sweat stained Tapout t-shirt and substitute the terms with "gay and retarded" and it'll make just as much sense, if not more. That's ultimately the essence of those terms anyways. The only difference is that with the term "DEI" they get to posture as a serious person with an actual point that deserves to be taken seriously. Bike lanes are gay. Caring about the environment is gay. Anti-hazing policy in the military is retarded. Etc. Etc.
If you happen to run into anyone in your social circles who choose to use those term. Ask them to actually define them, yet to meet a single one who can.

he sounds like an edgy teenager and he's in control of billions in tax money. I miss a world without xitter.
The world would still be violently controlled by brainwashed chuds regardless of whether xitter exists or not.
DEI is everything I don't like. Same as woke.
Diversity of transport modes
Equity in infrastructure quality
Inclusion in transportation planning
