Summary

Donald Trump has moved to dismantle diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives in government and education, calling them “discriminatory” and “anti-American.”

His administration has eliminated DEI offices, revoked related executive orders, and restricted LGBTQ+ rights.

Federal agencies must halt DEI programs, and corporate America is also scaling back diversity efforts under political pressure.

Trump has reinstated the 1776 Commission to promote “patriotic education” and is targeting progressive policies in schools and workplaces, sparking concerns over civil rights and social regression.

    They aren’t creating a small government that stays out of people’s business

    They’re building a giant over arching authoritarian state that is trying to control everyone

      It’s what they always wanted. Project 2025 is their mangnum opus and they are hellbent to make it reality.

    “Dark times” is putting it mildly.

    I expect they’re going to be digging mass graves before this is all over, and Trump is going to be added to the list of worst mass murderers in history.

    I wish I was kidding.

      No, no, you’re not exagerrating. Tens of thousands to millions will die, and all throughout people will continue to deny until the very moment they, too, are snagged in the dark of night never to be seen again.

      This is where “2a” should come in - except they’re firmly on the side of the oppressor…

        That should narrow it down more than it does.

    How can something be both “discriminatory” and “anti-American?” Isn’t discrimination kinda like our whole fuckin’ thing?

      Because American ideals don’t line up with American reality.
