The 3 branches of the United States government are coequal. This prevents a king or oligarchy, provided each branch does their Constitutional duty. When they don’t do their Constitutional duty the voters must exert their power; protest, vote, and apply other pressures that the people can apply.

Jim Crow was explicit, legal racial segregation, while anti-DEI efforts use race-neutral language to roll back policies that promote inclusion. However, both serve to uphold existing racial disparities, making their effects strikingly similar.
