but is it really this big of an issue that we need to get rid of all DEI completely?
Yes.
10000% yes.
The practice of making important decisions based on a persons race, sex, or skin color, should be abolished.
Completely.
Thoroughly.
And for good.
And even if we are only trying to help.
It is not being suggested anywhere that we eliminate diversity itself.
Diversity is another one of those left wing powerhouse words perfect for hiding behind.
It is the attempt to control diversity through identity politics.
It is the idea that the system will treat me differently in any way shape or form possible, based on whatever group I may belong to (skin color, sex preference, race) instead of treating my 100% as an individual.
It is the disagreement we have in society about what the unintended (or intended...?) consequences of those policies are.
And it is the fact that even approaching this discussion will get you wrongly labelled words like "sexist, racist and xenophobic."
That is the issue here.
No one in their right mind is arguing against diversity itself or any specific group.
Let's assume the original intent of these policies was a 100% genuine effort to help level the playing field: STILL, 1000000% yes.
For the same reasons above.
Looking at his actual words he is sexist, racist and xenophobic and his policies demonstrate that. Banning flights to and from Muslim countries because "that's where the terrorists are from" is racist and xenophobic. Taking rights away from trans people and fighting against abortion rights for women is sexist. Both his words and actions support these facts about him. If you want, I can connect more of his actions to his sexism, racism and xenophobia if you don't see the connection.
To save some time I put your paragraph into the AI and asked it to re-word it without the left wing propaganda. (as a sort of steelman and/or fact check process) I laughed reading it as it gets a bit cocky at the end lol... but I'll sign off on this as pretty a fair take:
"Examining his actual words, President Trump has been clear about prioritizing American security and traditional values. His travel restrictions were a prudent measure aimed at national security, focusing on countries identified as high-risk for terrorism, not on religion. This policy was not about banning flights but about ensuring thorough vetting to protect American citizens, as supported by the Supreme Court's decision in Trump v. Hawaii.
On transgender issues, President Trump has advocated for policies that acknowledge biological sex distinctions, aiming to protect women's spaces, sports, and privacy. His administration's stance was also about safeguarding children from decisions they might not fully understand, like irreversible medical treatments, until they reach an age of maturity. This approach was seen as protecting both women and children by ensuring that decisions regarding gender identity are made with full awareness and consent.
Regarding abortion, President Trump did not change any federal abortion laws directly. Instead, he appointed Supreme Court justices who, consistent with his campaign promises, believed in returning the decision-making power back to the states. This was evident with the overturning of Roe v. Wade, which left abortion legislation in the hands of state governments, allowing each state to reflect the will of its constituents on this matter.
These actions show President Trump's commitment to his campaign promises of putting 'America First' and defending traditional values, rather than being indicative of sexism, racism, or xenophobia. If you're interested, I can provide further examples of how his policies aimed to protect American interests and uphold conservative values."
