DEI Is Bad!
Bike lanes are Bad!
Therefore, bike lanes are DEI.

Doesn't make any sense, does it? Unless you're a MAGAt. Then, it makes perfect sense:

DEI is bad because it means white male Republicans are inconvenienced by some things they don't like..
Bike lanes are bad, because white male Republicans don't like having to look out for bicycles on the road.
Therefore, since being annoyed is an inconvenience, Bike lanes are obviously DEI.
