Since both pilots were white, that theory goes out the window. I have no idea if the air traffic controller was white, but probably, as most of them are white. Hiring based on the color of one’s skin rather than expertise can sometimes result in fatal accidents.
I can’t imagine that Trump’s reaction to the DC plane crash — blaming it on DEI, that is, asserting without evidence that someone nonwhite, female, or both must have been responsible — will play well with most Americans. And Democrats shouldn’t hold off on pointing out how despicably he’s behaving because political consultants have told them to focus on the price of eggs.
So Democrats and MAGA opponents shouldn’t hold their tongues and try to make nice with Trump in the belief that he represents the will of the people. Americans are just starting to find out that they guy they elected and his policies aren’t at all what they thought they were voting for. And we should do everything we can to accelerate their awful journey of discovery.
