A conservative echo chamber has produced thinly sourced and anecdotal “reports” decrying DEI in the military…. What they haven’t produced is evidence that DEI initiatives are pervasive or even a problem. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

I'm afraid Donald won't stop with going after just trans people. I wouldn't be surprised if we hear about 'don't ask, don't tell' again. https://youtu.be/HJ18tPa01lw

Trump is loosening the bolts out of vindication. Retaliation against anyone he thinks did not vote for him both times. Even if the shrapnel hits his supporters.

I would argue this is a red herring. A cause that most Americans are ambivalent about but Ds feel strongly about. While Ds become outraged the public yawns. And while the public yawns the GOP moves the levers of a fascist takeover ever forward.
Ds need to highlight the overriding issue

The overriding issues being patriarchy, white supremacy, and ablism?

The average American who consumes 5 minutes of news a week doesn’t have a clue what any of thar means. Put these concepts into terms a fifth grader understands.

My nephew graduated basic at Ft. Jackson this morning and all they were ever told is don’t use the n-word or harass women.

I would submit, the conservative echo chamber is the problem.

Thanks Fred! I have family members, veterans from the Army, Navy, and Marines, and neither of them say DEI was placed/included during their service. I'm talking about decades of service.

And technically, when former military secure a civilian job with veteran preferences, they are now DEI hires.
