"One of the big reasons why a lot of us grew up as conservatives is we were afraid that if you give too much power to the government, someone bad could come in and use it for their own personal gratification and empowerment," George Conway says. "And here we are. This is exactly it."

Much reporting re DOJ’s omissions and redactions…but whose decisions were they? Surely they went up the line to Blanche and Bondi? Did they overrule career staff? Did they consult with the White House? With Trump?
And if it’s a unitary executive, aren’t they all Trump’s decisions, redactions, etc?

The fact that it at least anecdotally seems to be a semi-regular practice to tell white people a minority got the job in order to soften the blow of rejection really should put the elite woke panic into perspective.

this is the unspoken but absolutely clear argument at hand.
That’s the thing man. If they are to be taken at their word the only takeaway is that there should be no black people in any job any other white person wants. One quick Google search for any of these jobs would show there are usually one or two minorities are best in a unit of 20 or 30 or more.
UAlbany, one of those, NY state universities, has been hovering around 4 percent tenure track Black faculty since ever. I am THE Black tenure track political scientists. These folks are just little liars.
