Honestly, it feels like these two are speaking to a contingency of nine-year-olds. Wow! Are liberals this much in arrested development now?

LOL Diversity sure bothers the right wing ideologues, every thing human confuses them in their hatred of women and people who don't share in their hate. Weak people voted for a man who lied to them and still in their insecurity they cling to him. The emasculated right wing is kinda sad, but saviors, even buffoonish ones like Trump, appeal to the weak who require confirmation their lives will be made better by words alone. See book quoted below for the person who can so easily be managed by empty promises.
The "least resistant personality profile' - the Trump follower.
"So how can such a company get a community to accept it? The plant manager's best course of action, Powell concluded, would not be to try to change the minds of residents predisposed to resist. It would be to find a citizenry unlikely to resist.
Based on interviews and questionnaires, Powell drew up a list of characteristics of the "least resistant personality profile":
• Longtime residents of small towns in the South or Midwest
• High school educated only
• Catholic
• Uninvolved in social issues, and without a culture of activism
• Involved in mining, farming, ranching (what Cerrell called "nature exploitative occupations")
• Conservative
• Republican
• Advocates of the free market
When the big oil companies first came to Louisiana in the 1940s, 40 percent of adults in Louisiana had no more than a fifth-grade education, and its citizens were the least likely in the nation to move out of state. From the seventies on, most people had become Republican advocates of the free market and minimal government. Most of the people I met fit some or all of the criteria-they were long-time residents, high school educated (half were), conservative, and Republican. That description fit the Arenos and largely fit Lee Sherman. Those who resisted the oil industry fit a very different profile-young, college educated, urban, liberal, strongly interested in social issues, and believers in good government. Was the "least resistant personality" one susceptible to what General Honore had called the "psychological program"-the talk of "jobs, jobs, jobs" that had "just enough to it?" Or was that too easy an idea, an idea from my side of the empathy wall? "

Diversity - to be diverse, to divide. A country is conquered when their citizens are divided.Diversity sure bothers the right wing ideologues,
