Trump Secretary Says Bike Lanes Are DEI
(newrepublic.com)
God this is so fucking stupid
At this point, i would vote for a planet-killing asteroid if i could. Why are Americans allowing this to happen?
"Bike lanes and segregated bike paths infringe on my rights to run them over in my jacked up diesel spewing monster truck!"
This is dumb, but arguably bike lanes do promote inclusion.
Yeah, pretty sure they dont actually care what the initialism means, its just a word to scare their base into opposing progress and give them more control.
It's a sure-fire way to get your MAGA audience to stop thinking, and start raging.
they're no more DEI than vehicle lanes
Ironic because a pretty common argument against bike lanes is that they're 'ableist' because not everyone can ride a bike, an insane argument to make when talking about cars. (Not to mention bike lanes benefit car drivers as well)
On a scale from DEI to communism, how woke are you?
Bikes can't be in the road because the demographic that drives oversized trucks can't be bothered to lose 2 seconds on their drive, and bikes can't be in their own isolated lane. I guess if you can't afford a car you should just be locked in a box.
Which is a ringing endorsement for cycling enthusiasts and environmentalists.
Also, release the Trump-Epstein files.
I mean, yeah, they are, and that’s the whole reason why they exist. Literally to include a more diverse set of transportation options on roads, providing a path towards equity for those unable to afford a vehicle, and including those and others in the usage of roads.
"Goddam libruls wanna take our ~~guns~~ cars!"
the Epstein files is up in the news.
The will of the people is DEI
- Sean Duffy, probably
Are they not?
they definitely are. only gay people would ride bikes. I should know, I'm huge into bikes. but I don't ride them, of course. that'd be gay.
I mean that they're inclusive of poor people. Almost anyone can afford a bicycle. Only rich people can afford a car
Also bicycle infrastructure makes our cities more equitable
Oh stfu.
