As I see it DEI is just a term for equal rights for all, not just for the few, and I certainly hope Democrats do NOT stop fighting for it. If we don’t fight for what’s right what good are we? Trump’s “merit based” system.....is Hegseth an example of that? Don’t make me laugh.
The core of Republican opposition to DEI is the assumption that a white man is the ideal candidate for every job. Yes, DEI initiatives were weaponized against Democrats, but any attempts to legislate against racism were treated the same way. They're white supremacists, that's what they do. Seems downright silly to appease them by giving up equitable hiring practices. I thought we fought Nazis, not gave up territory to them.
As for Hegseth, he's exactly what they say they hate about DEI hires: someone chosen for reasons other than aptitude. Their hypocrisy knows no boundaries.
