Great article! I’m sharing this message on Bluesky today. The DNC needs to send out this messaging to their email list instead of asking for more money.
I'm just so damn tired of the division among Dems right now.
It's like watching a badly scripted movie.
And like, I can see the strategy from the other side coming from miles away. I had already started working on this article before they even said anything about Gaza, because I KNEW they were going to try and stir up a wedge issue to get us fighting amongst ourselves as soon as there was any sign of unity like we had in the press conference yesterday.
Truth: all their evil comes under 1 umbrella- fascism. Truth: division is part of their playbook. If we become & stay unified we win. Truth: Don’t lose focus. All living beings deserve the right to a fulfilling life. That is what we are fighting for. Don’t complicate it. Truth: you’re either part of the problem or part of the solution
Call it like it is, the American Revolution part 2. And every person who stands for democracy and freedom needs to stand up and be heard, resist however you can. Any Democrat who voted yes for any of trumps cabinet picks should not be reelected. Time to take back what our ancestors fought wars for. If they can win then so can we.
It's an interesting idea, there's only a couple of reasons I'll stick to TEI:
Closeness to DEI: as a counter slogan, having the acronym as close as possible to the original is extremely powerful
Vandalism v. Incompetence: Incompetence plays into the other side's value system and implicitly calls out their hypocrisy. They claim that DEI results in incompetent people being hired; TEI points out that their alternative intentionally hires incompetent people as the stated mission. Vandalism, offers no such messaging value, making it an inferior alternative to Incompetence.
I do honestly appreciate this kind of feedback though. If we can make any part of our messaging stronger, I'm all for it and will gladly adjust.
Good opportunity for them to get better at differentiating their pronunciation 😏 I'm an immigrant myself; I get it, it can be challenging. They can always clarify by saying the whole thing instead of the acronym.
The fascist Christian Nationalists want to destroy our institutions, because they want to replace them with their radicalized versions. This is what Project 2025, is meant to accomplish.
They have what they call “7 pillars”, that they want to destroy and takeover: family, religion, education, media, arts & entertainment, business, and government.
The fascist Christian Nationalists are now in control of our illegitimate US supreme court, the presidency, the house, and the senate.
They have been working on this for decades, and are well funded and well organized. See the 2024 documentary “Bad Faith”.
I've watched it. The situation is dire for certain.
I think one important thing to keep in mind though is that it's not just the Christian Nationalists; alone they don't have enough power. Like it says in the documentary, a lot of it is corporate funding in a "pact" between large corps and these nationalists.
But even then, there are still other groups in this coalition. For example, you have the Libertarians, you have the Red-Pillers. And often times they don't like each other a whole lot. And that's something that we can and should exploit.

Maybe further into this month I’ll have enough $ to upgrade to paid.
One tweak—I think Trump Endorsed Vandalism is more accurate and emotionally compelling.

My only issue with TEI is that there are a lot of speakers whose Ts and Ds sound identical, which may cause confusion.
