The fact that certain special interest groups have already begun to prepare for a fight against the decisions and policies the Trump administration, whether it be the current or future one, will implement is a sign that the left does not believe in the Democrats’ chances of winning the November election.
Axios reports that Trump’s old foe, the American Civil Liberties Union, is preparing a case against Trump to defend the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion policies enacted by the Biden Administration. ACLU will also have this plan to help the Biden Administration solidify DEI laws should he win. However, as things stand, it seems that the main concern is the return of Trump to the White House.
The ACLU warned in a memo that “a second Trump administration could stop the enforcement of civil rights for individuals who belong to historically marginalized groups.”
The memo states, “Litigation and regulatory advocacy, as was the case during the previous Trump administration will be essential for both stymying threats and advancing an affirmative vision of race justice.”
The Trump administration has already issued a warning about DEI positions in government. It stated that “all offices, staff, and initiatives related to Biden’s anti-American policy” will be terminated immediately.
The leftists of the ACLU squawked all the usual buzzwords regarding the terror that racism will be coming from the White House.
Kim Conway, senior policy counsel at the ACLU, said that Trump plans to intensify his efforts to eliminate DEI programs and inclusive education. He will ban books and censor curricula about race, gender, and the lived experience and contributions of marginalized groups in classrooms.
Trump will not be fighting the ACLU by himself. The ACLU will have its work cut out as it faces America First Legal which has already won many victories against DEI. The Heritage Foundation’s “Project 2025” will also be a hurdle, as it aims to assist a second Trump Administration in ending “affirmative discrimination.”
As a civil rights organization, America First Legal will pursue vigorously legal action against entities or institutions that perpetuate woke fascist racism against our fellow citizens. We have launched a hotline for Americans who need pro bono services to defend their rights to reach us and seek help,” said former Trump adviser and America First Legal president Stephen Miller in 2023.
Miller has so far reaffirmed his warning that officials and CEOs have “nowhere to hide” in DEI.
It’s bad news for the ACLU because Republicans tend to be on the defensive in terms of social-political matters. The tide is turning, however, and the ACLU must contend with a network of hyperactive and aggressive legal activists who are looking to overturn racist DEI policies everywhere they can find them.
DEI is a racist organization, no doubt about it.
The public is told that it’s an attempt to level the playing field in a system that favors and overrepresents white people. It’s a concept that forces companies, governments, and universities, to discriminate against people of color, specifically white men, in all aspects, from hiring practices to promotions.
James O’Keefe, a Disney executive who recently spoke out about Disney’s alleged racist policies, was stung by James O’Keefe. He noted that Disney would not hire or promote white men to certain positions. America First Legal took action against Disney.
Trump’s campaign against DEI is likely to be far-reaching, but it will be necessary for the survival and prosperity of the United States. DEI is destructive by nature. It substitutes merit and skills over race and identity in an attempt to combat what leftists see as unfairness in a society that favors white people. It has created a lot of problems. The two most notable ones are its impact on the airline industry and the White House. Kamal Harris, who was a DEI hire, is a prime example.
All this said the left will not give up DEI easily or without a bloody and long-lasting fight. It’s one of the most powerful tools the left ever used to control society and corporations. DEI is a way to put people in positions of power and influence that they like, then turn the business or corporation into a mouthpiece of their cause.
Trump faces a huge battle, but momentum is on Trump’s side. ACLU will find itself on the defensive as DEI is under attack in many ways and from different sources.
The sooner it dies, the better.
