— To vote for Democrats is to vote for socialism. Socialist leaders hint/imply/argue/shout that under socialism, all you need to do to advance is to be a socialist. Democrat leaders hint/imply/argue/shout that under Democrats, all you need to do to advance is to be a Democrat. That destroys motivation and meritocracy. None of my Democrat Post Office, IRS, and GAO coworkers came close to doing what I did to advance. I earned a job-related bachelor’s degree. I earned three job-related master’s degrees. I earned six job-related professional certifications. I earned a job-related professional license. All my coworkers who my Democrat superiors promoted over me were Democrats a) who had less education than I had, had less work experience than I had, had no professional certification or fewer than I had, and/or had no professional license like the one I had and/or b) who were minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or had ancestors who had not been in America for a long time. – Dave Diersen

— Ever-increasingly, in Democrat states, counties, townships, municipalities, and school districts, to be accepted, you have to be a Democrat. Democrats are liberal/moderate, minority, female, younger, unmarried, LGBTQ, non-Protestant, non-German American, and/or have ancestors who have not been in America for a long time. To be accepted, you cannot change your race, gender, age, national origin, or ancestors, but you can become a Democrat, liberal/moderate, LGBTQ, unmarried, and/or non-Protestant. In your county, township, municipality, school district, and precinct, to be accepted, how many have become Democrat, liberal/moderate, LGBTQ, unmarried, and/or non-Protestant? – Dave Diersen

AMERICAN MIND
— The Disparity Obsession. Attempting to eliminate every unequal outcome inevitably produces discrimination.  DD: My critics/opponents want equal outcome. According to them, when Whites and males do better at something than minorities and females, it is because Whites and males discriminate against minorities and females. Overwhelmingly, those who earned college degrees, professional certifications, and a professional license with me were Whites and males.
https://americanmind.org/salvo/the-disparity-obsession/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: We are living through a decade of wokeism in which racial favoritism has graduated from an ostensibly temporary thumb on the scale for the almost-qualified to the kind of unqualified frenzy that attracts grifters and con artists. And, correspondingly, the discrimination against the disfavored has gone from ambient to so intense as to bar advancement in culturally prestigious industries. Contra to dismissive talking points from purveyors like AOC, Woke 1 has done real damage to many lives.)
