Unless it is deporting immigrants, that social agenda is A OK.
We have been doing anti-discrimination stuff at least since the 1960's. You can oppose racial discrimination by treating everyone the same, and teaching others to treat everyone the same. And when people racially discriminate, you punish them. But that's not what DEI does. DEI explicitly calls for racial discrimination, just of the "correct" sort.
And don't get me started on that woke Massachusetts 54th.
Well, according to wiki, that was in 1863. How strange nothing had changed by WWII, yet Ziggurat assures us that all that's needed are three of four changes of generations. According to Trump we have to be 'colour blind' but suddenly the African-American comes into clear view when men are needed to help win a combat. Otherwise, we are not to see them.
No we aren't. If you don't discriminate, then you are giving everyone an equal chance. An equal chance isn't the point of DEI. The point of DEI is equal outcomes, which requires that you do NOT give everyone the same chance, that you do in fact discriminate. You cannot get equal outcomes if you give everyone an equal chance.
Ending discrimination against gays doesn't require that you then positively discriminate for them.
No, it isn't. DEI is very much about telling people what to do. If you don't tell people what to do, different people might have different preferences in what they want to do, and this could produce unequal outcomes. If fewer women than men want to become engineers (as is the case), then that produces unequal outcomes, which is undesirable. DEI can only work if you tell people what to do, if you force companies to hire more women engineers even though fewer women want to be engineers.
What's strange about it? Are you under the impression that social change always proceeds at a constant rate? That would be strange. It's also strange that you think segregation of the army is the only metric of change. But let's take a look at your date. 1863 is a bit under 80 years after the constitution was signed. Within 80 years, America went from codifying the institution of slavery in the constitution to fighting a war to end slavery. A war that killed more Americans than any other war we ever fought, and that's not even on a per capita basis. That's a pretty big social change, isn't it? So don't tell me little changes in 80 years. A lot can change. A lot has changed.
This would be quite the argument, if the armed forces were still segregated.

Nope.
Here's where I know that you don't actually have a clue about the topic. Sure, in Afghanistan, women are oppressed and aren't given the opportunity to become engineers. But in most countries, the percentage of women in stem isn't correlated with gender equality. In fact, it's negatively correlated with gender equality. This may come as a surprise to you, but it's been well studied for quite some time. I don't think there's a universally agreed upon explanation for why that's the case, but the fact that it's true disproves what are clearly your own naive beliefs about it.
You say I don't understand why things are the way they are, but you're fundamentally wrong about what things are.
If you're going to insult me, please, at least make it clever. This is just boring.

The Truth About Air Force Basic, Tuskegee Airmen, and Trump's DEI Order
The Air Force will execute President Donald Trump’s executive orders and teach trainees about the Tuskegee Airmen, Gen. David Allvin said.
Bottom Line: ONE class of airmen missed the videos dealing with the Tuskegee Airmen and WASPS due the USAF leadership scrambling to comply with the Trump Administrations new policies. So everyone got their panties in a wad over mostly nothing. And these are just a pair of short videos that are part of a long list of videos new Airmen are required to watch during basic training, which cover the history of the USAF, and it's various commands, and aircraft. I think there's a test at the end. Honestly, in the old days when these videos were on film shown in darkened rooms it was a chance for Airmen to catch a nap during basic.
I hate Trump, I think DEI has become Jim Crow, but this story is nothing but political hype.
Not sure the huge layoffs in the feds are going to happen but yeah,he is going to wreck the economy.
