_ “If you say the election wasn’t stolen, do you really think you’re going to get hired?" ex-RNC staffer says_

The Republican National Committee is asking prospective job candidates if they believe the 2020 election was stolen in a “litmus tests of sorts” following the Trump-backed purge of the party committee, according to the Washington Post.

Trump advisers have “quizzed” multiple employees who worked in key 2024 states about their views on the 2020 election, according to the report.

“Was the 2020 election stolen?” one prospective employee recalled being asked in a room with two top Trump advisers.

The question has “startled” some potential employees who view it as “questioning their loyalty to Trump,” according to the Post.

    The answer doesn’t matter though. Any answer other than a forceful “The election was stolen.” will just send your application right into the trash. (And to be fair, if you’re so retarded that you’re willing to apply for a job with Trump under these cirumstances, you deserve to be in the trash with it.)

    They are looking for unwavering loyalty that will flow entirely in one direction. Even saying “Depends on how you define ‘stolen’”, or just not saying “The election was stolen!” with enough conviction will likely get you labelled as some kind of Biden psy-op there to infiltrate his campaign.

    These are not rational people. The rational ones (at least, by pre-Trump GOP standards) have all left or been forced out. All that remains are the ultra-MAGA grifters and a new crop of political opportunists looking to become grifters themselves.

      I am not a maga fan, but the leftists are worse. Conformity is even more strongly enforced.

        Oh? So what you’re saying is that the left is lacking in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion? Perhaps we should implement some of these anti-conformist ideals in the form of training programs?

          The left obviously lacks in inclusion and diversity of thought. Literally they boot you if you disagree with things they believed 10 years ago.

              So its “dumb shit” to say trans women should not compete against women? The left used to agree with the right on that issue, and now the left says its transphobic to think they shouldnt compete.

                No it’s dumb shit to claim victim when people stop engaging with your dumbass comments. It’s not censorship, we’re just ignoring you because you make bad points.

                  Didnt say it was censorship (although many sites like this will ban you for voicing basic opinions), I said that you guys claim everything is a -ist or an -ism. And the people with the dumb opinion are those that claim that its a fair competetion.
