The posts are funny, but I'd say that we should grift the right so that they get off big tech platforms and get into the fediverse.

Summary

Fox News host Jesse Watters faced backlash after criticizing DOGE for laying off a veteran friend, despite previously praising its cost-cutting efforts.

He argued veterans should be prioritized over DEI consultants, prompting critics to point out that hiring veterans is part of DEI.

Online users mocked his inconsistency, with some noting his misunderstanding of DEI principles.

"You're almost there, Jesse. The veterans are DEI hires. You're confused because you think DEI means 'Black,'" an X user wrote.

ETA:

For accuracy, the chart is old (2014) and references discretionary spending instead of mandatory which is where programs like SNAP (Food Stamps) generally fall

However, even accounting for all that properly, at the time of the meme, food stamps would have still been just 2% of the federal budget. Thus the spirit of the meme is still good.
