Was this supposed to convince anybody?
A lot of these Republicans secretly hate that their disabled neighbor gets government assistance. They hate having to deal with the bagger with down syndrome, or the autistic barista. They think their pregnant friend should be married, a stay-at-home-mom, and it should be her husband making the money. They don't want everybody to have an equal opportunity, they only want "people who deserve it" to have an opportunity. Where, of course, "people who deserve it" is conservative straight white men from rural areas, or whatever.
Honestly, how could you watch nearly 10 years of hateful rhetoric and think "oh, I just need to explain DEI better, then they'll support it!"
