For years, Democrats sold DEI and Critical Race Theory as some kind of moral progress. Like a payback, that finally rolled it. But that was just their marketing plan. In reality, both DEI and CRT were nothing but political chess moves. See, the point was never to make minorities successful, content, and independent. If that happened, they’d all be voting Republican by now. The point was to keep the anger simmering, division alive, and blame permanently directed on “the man.” Chaos is the foundation of the Dem Party.

And here’s the part the left absolutely needed to happen. They needed the right to fight back and for average Americans to notice something wasn’t right. They wanted everyone to notice that merit and hard work didn’t matter anymore and that opportunities for whites were being tossed in the trash bin because now, they were the “wrong color.” The left knew that white Americans were eventually going to say, hang on, this is unfair.

That backlash has been baked into the plan. It’s the main part of the plan, actually.

Because the moment white people push back, the left gets exactly what it wants. They get to point and say, See? We told you so. They still want to crush you. They still hate you. They still want everything for themselves. And just like that, the victimhood narrative is restored, anger is reignited, and the fear comes back like a tidal wave. The left’s chaos machine roars back to life.

That doesn’t mean it’s a mistake to fight back against DEI and CRT. We must. It’s just important to understand how deeply the left depends on this system, in all its forms, to survive. So when Trump recently stood up for white people in a way no American president in our lifetime ever has and did it without apology, it kicked off the media’s outrage machine right on cue. Trump said that while civil rights protections accomplished important and necessary things, they also created new forms of discrimination. He said that when qualified people are denied jobs or college admissions because of their race, that’s unfair. And he said that white people have been very badly treated and discriminated against. And he’s right.

Trump put into words what millions of Americans have quietly felt but were never allowed to say out loud. And the left didn’t recoil in fake shock. Because this is the moment they’ve been waiting for…

This is where the second fuse gets lit.

Once Trump says it out loud, the left gets to activate the next phase of the plan. They get to frame fairness as some horrific attack against minorities. They tell black and brown Americans, See? We warned you… white people are coming for you.

The New York Times:

President Trump said in an interview that he believed civil rights-era protections resulted in white people being “very badly treated,” his strongest indication that the concept of “reverse discrimination” is driving his aggressive crusade against diversity policies.

Speaking to The New York Times on Wednesday, Mr. Trump echoed grievances amplified by Vice President JD Vance and other top officials who in recent weeks have urged white men to file federal complaints with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
When asked whether protections that began in the 1960s, spurred by the passage of the Civil Rights Act, had resulted in discrimination against white men, Mr. Trump said he believed “a lot of people were very badly treated.”

“White people were very badly treated, where they did extremely well and they were not invited to go into a university to college,” he said, an apparent reference to affirmative action in college admissions. “So I would say in that way, I think it was unfair in certain cases.”

He added: “I think it was also, at the same time, it accomplished some very wonderful things, but it also hurt a lot of people — people that deserve to go to a college or deserve to get a job were unable to get a job. So it was, it was a reverse discrimination.”

Mr. Trump’s comments were a blunt distillation of his administration’s racial politics, which rest on the belief that white people have become the real victims of discrimination in America. During his campaign for president, Mr. Trump harnessed a political backlash to the Black Lives Matter and other protests, saying there was “a definite anti-white feeling in this country,” and he joined his base in denouncing what he deemed to be “woke” policies.

The Trump administration has claimed that eradicating policies that promote diversity would shepherd in a “merit-based” society. But for civil rights leaders, Mr. Trump’s remarks showed that the perceived plight of white men was the true focus.

But President Trump isn’t just talking. He’s going straight to the source of DEI power, the institutions that have used it to enforce discrimination against whites for years now.

Christopher F. Rufo:

University presidents must understand that support for DEI is now the kiss of death. The Trump Administration will not tolerate racial discrimination, scapegoating, and segregation in America’s publicly supported universities.

Trump’s efforts are working, slowly but surely. DEI and CRT are massive beasts, and it will take many hits to bring them down.

Revolver:

DEI is dying—and not a moment too soon. What started as a supposed “feel-good” cleft-wing corporate scheme has morphed into a toxic, unpopular ideology that’s poisoning every corner of American life—from universities to corporate boardrooms to the courtroom itself. And now, finally, the tide is turning. Not because the left had a moral awakening, but because the backlash is now too loud to ignore.

One of the most dangerous places DEI has taken root is in the left’s lawfare. The weaponized legal world has become a literal playground for woke lawyers and judges who are not hand-picked not for their legal chops but for their loyalty to the progressive agenda. These are the activists who twist the law into a partisan pretzel—not to protect justice but to punish Trump and anyone who supports him.

That’s why this next story is so important. It’s about a powerful law firm—Paul, Weiss—that got dragged into the political mud thanks to DEI and partisan games. But now, President Trump just forced them to bend the knee—and the result is a major win in this ongoing fight to de-weaponize the American justice system.

Trump took to Truth Social to announce the big news.

Here’s a quick breakdown below. But again, even though President Trump officially canceled his executive order against Paul Weiss, he didn’t back down. He got everything he wanted and then some. The EO was the hammer, and once they cried “uncle,” he holstered it. Classic Trump move. The Art of the Deal:

After issuing an executive order to investigate Paul, Weiss over its partisan practices, President Trump agreed to withdraw the order—but only after the firm agreed to a full-blown overhaul. Paul, Weiss will now:

Drop DEI hiring practices.
Commit to merit-based promotions and representation.
Provide $40 million worth of pro bono legal work to support the President’s initiatives.
Publicly condemn political weaponization in the legal field.
Undergo a third-party audit of its employment practices.
In short, the firm admitted what we already knew: the justice system has been hijacked, and it’s time to right the ship.

So as Trump pushes to end the madness, the left’s usual gatekeepers are jumping in headfirst with flat-out denial, because facts are dangerous when your power depends on outrage, right?

The New York Times piece goes on:

Derrick Johnson, the president of the N.A.A.C.P., the nation’s oldest civil rights organization, said there was “no evidence that white men were discriminated against as a result of the civil rights movement, the Civil Rights Act, and efforts to rectify the long history of this country denying access to people based on race in every measurable category.”

Within hours of taking office, Mr. Trump ordered the dismantling of diversity, equity and inclusion offices that were responsible for addressing systemic discrimination against minorities and women, and last year he ordered federal agencies to halt enforcement of core tenets of the bedrock Civil Rights Act.

He has gone on to equate diversity with incompetence and inferiority, and cast himself as the protector of white people both at home and abroad. Asked on Wednesday whether his immigration agenda was aimed at making the country whiter, Mr. Trump said he wanted people “that love our country.”

“It’s very simple,” said Mr. Trump, who has carved out exceptions to his crackdown on refugee admissions for mostly white South Africans. “I want people that love our country,” he said.
Carrying out Mr. Trump’s agenda is the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which was formed in 1965 under the Civil Rights Act. The commission’s chair, Andrea Lucas, issued a striking video message last month underlining the agency’s new posture.

“Are you a white male who has experienced discrimination at work based on your race or sex?” Ms. Lucas said in the video posted on X. “You may have a claim to recover money under federal civil rights laws. Contact the E.E.O.C. as soon as possible. Time limits are typically strict for filing a claim.”
“The E.E.O.C. is committed to identifying, attacking, and eliminating ALL forms of race and sex discrimination — including against white male applicants and employees,” she said.

Trump didn’t break their system. He triggered it, exactly the way DEI and CRT were designed to work when they finally collapsed under their own weight, like everybody knew they would. This racism is unsustainable.

Whatever games the left is playing in the background, it doesn’t take away from President Trump’s bravery. It takes real backbone for a president to say this sort of thing out loud, especially when white Americans are treated like the only group it’s acceptable to discriminate against. Trump’s base is made up of working-class white Americans who played by the rules and watched the rules get changed and used against them.

DEI and CRT were designed to manufacture this permanent conflict loop that generates campaign headlines, fundraising, and drives scared, angry voters to the polls in droves. While it works as designed, the left can claim victory; when it fails as designed, the left can cry victimhood.
