Someone reminded me of this today but when you see an institution (university, law firm, etc) "capitulates" to Trump's demands it's worth asking whether the elites within that institution always wanted to do what Trump is demanding and are now just using Trump as an excuse - ThreadSky

Yup. The litmus test is, how were these companies and institutions handling things before all these rules and regulations came down? Many of them are simply going back to the way they did it before, per their preference. DEI was something they complied with only as long as they had to.

Absent evidence to the contrary, you have to think so

The people who are allowed to be in any sort of management position in any sector are drawn from the upper class. The upper class is lockstep behind Trump.

Yes. For example, at prestigious southern public universities whose board of visitors are appointed at the personal will of the governor. 🧐

He's just "revealing" who they are...it's his MO. He's a rasp going with the grain.

The elite institution at which I worked was in the landlord business at least as much as the education business.

The NCAA couldn’t ban trans athletes fast enough once #47 told them to. That is the moment I decided I will no longer watch or support college sports.

there has been a lot of negative publicity over college sports regarding their HUGE budgets,HUGE lavish expenditures and HUGE exploitation of athletes

I've always felt, yup they're getting what they've wanted all along. The Nazi Felon made it easy for them to be what they truly are.

Exactly. They are not capitulating. It's not as if tanks were rolling in, about to crush naked people.

Exexutive orders are not tanks, and powerful influential wealthy institutions are not naked helpless victims.

Girl, that’s been my thought since the beginning. This could be a blessing for those elites.

I've been following this idea for a while. Too many organizations seemed far too excited to comply in advance to clearly unconditional mandates.
