Jackass Despicable Vance roundup;

“In a December 2023 speech, JD Vance defended a notorious white nationalist convicted over 2016 election disinformation, canvassed the possibility of breaking up tech companies, attacked diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) efforts and talked about a social media ‘censorship regime’ that ‘came from the deep state on some level’.”

His top aide is a fascist, of course;

“Motorcycle maker Harley-Davidson has become the latest manufacturer to drop diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives amid sustained pressure from anti-DEI activist Robby Starbuck.”

“Harley-Davidson has been in the cross-hairs of anti-DEI activists who earlier this summer won similar concessions from retailer Tractor Supply and farming equipment maker John Deere & Co. The tractor maker said in a statement in July it would no longer participate in ‘cultural awareness parades’.”

A totally expected lack of backbone under pressure from 'activists’ 🙄

Harley-Davidson drops DEI initiatives amid pressure from ‘anti-woke’ activists

Milwaukee-based company no longer has minority-owned supplier goals and plans to exit socially motivated training

From August 20th, 2024;

“Canada’s Conservative party has deleted a social media campaign video with a heavily nationalist message after much of the video featured scenes from other countries, including Ukrainian farmers, Slovenian homes, London’s Richmond Park and a pair of Russian fighter jets.”

This is basically the state of regressive politics, at this point. They don't have the truth, so disinformation it is.
