Remember, some people on here were trying to say he was the lesser of the two evils.

wtf have democrats been doing all these years?

[commander]

Also I think it's important to mention that white women benefited from these types of laws the most and ironically they were one of the main demographics who supported this clown.

 

[Cain]

….he can just do that? Discrimination is legal now? This wasn't constitutionalized anywhere??

Trump is more than a person. He's completely created the MAGA ideology which won't die after him.

 

Democrats need a MAGA-like reinvention.

I don't think so, hun. White women basically handed Trump the presidency

No. Democrats had a 60 seat majority one time in 2009 for like 2 months of Obamas presidency. That was the only chance. Other than getting rid of the filibuster which we didn't and I'm sure republicans are gonna do that soon.

Democrats didn't do anything to prevent this. Which is why it happened.

They call them Do Nothing Democrats for a reason

Dems did alot and have been fighting ignorance, racism and blatant hatred for roughly 200 years. Mind you not even Reagan thought to overturn the EEOC and he made it very clear who he didn't like.

 

Tell your kin and Lords to take responsibility for being racist and only seeking to fill their pockets while subjugating anyone who isn't a straight white male with an $1 billion networth. Yall are shocked at how racist Trump is? We said it, they tried to use Kamalas slave ancestors against her so she couldn't be considered a whole human or citizen of the U.S to run for president. 

 

This is what many get for trying to "both parties are the same" every issue and tossing everything to the Dems despite an overwhelming majority voting to hurt others and deriding the Dems for not supporting one singular policy that they want over the other.

It was performative bullshit 

[Valgorie]

It's going to be 4 years of this, even more if Republicans win again in 2028. Which is very possible.

 

I keep thinking, how will all these measures look like in practice? 

[Gorjesspazze9]

Wait what? 

[Blade Runner]

The usuals in here fighting Democrats and Liberals. Same ones who told people both sides are the same lol 

 

They don't give a f+ck about anyone. A menace.

how is a single person being able to revoke things like this? Like how is a president alone able to undo 50 years of progress in the matter of days. It's just too much for my brain to comprehend

I may be misunderstanding, but protections against hiring/employment discrimination are established by the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The Equal Rights and Opportunity Commission, which enforces those protections in the workplace, also falls under that act, and wouldn't be disbanded without an act of Congress. Trump targeting this specific executive order (LBJ's EO 11246, which is specific to federal contractors and subcontractors) is a scary demonstration of his intentions. But, it does not remove the civil rights protections all workers (in any workplace) are entitled to, since that is codified law and has been for 60 years. Congress, not even now, is not overturning the CRA; even if all Republicans somehow got behind it there wouldn't be enough votes (and as backwards as this country is, going that far absolutely would be political suicide in most cases). Still, I'd imagine that this administration will likely reduce civil rights enforcement efforts, hence this new executive order.
