The idea of DEI was always self-destructive—a confluence of contradictory ideas. You can’t demand sameness (equity) and differentness (Diversity) and arrive at unity (Inclusion). People are not wired that way. Not everyone will want to be part of your thing (especially when the thing is communism). And it was never the political motivation behind the post-modernist push. Add that these are the same people insisting that sex is not assignable at birth, but racism is, and you have a recipe for something colloquially referred to as What the f**K?.

According to the Left’s experts, gender is fluid, but racism is not. Parents, family members, neighbors, the community, and educators, are admonished if they dare to presume not only a sexual preference but deference.
Racism, however, is fixed. Not only that, there is not a single thing that parents, family members, neighbors, the community, and educators can do but to label you a racist and shame you so you never forget.
DEI is married to CRT (the mutant bastard offspring of cohabitating post-modernist parents), so it might be good news that someone who works as a DEI professional and runs her own company closed her doors willingly after Donald Trump’s election last Tuesday.
Since late Fall of 2022, my industry has been in a major decline. Companies have been shifting away from DEI by cutting teams, budgets, and outside support. Add in a Supreme Court revision of Affirmative Action, a lot of anti-LGBTQ activism, a Roe v. Wade repeal, and a lot of DEI practitioners who either didn’t have support or flat-out did not know what they were doing and this decline is now a complete freefall. …
But after two years of treading water and taking on debt, I may need to accept what appears obvious to at least half of the American population based on the outcome of this election. People want to be passive and angry and point fingers more than just doing the uncomfortable growth that moves us forward. Folks don’t want to listen or be accountable or move through disconnection. They don’t want to be better leaders. People don’t even want to be respectful. And the president-elect’s campaign exploited all of that frustration effectively.
Amber Cabral didn’t vote for Trump. She’s also – despite how enlightened she makes her approach to DEI look – a slave to institutional lies. That is obvious from the context surrounding her DEI eulogy. This, in turn, makes us suspect her suggestion that “diversity, equity, and inclusion can mean wildly different things,” or that the goal was to “teach people how to be good humans.”

It is delusional to believe that the tribalism created by stereotyping and the compelled speech instituted as evidence of tolerance—in the name of bringing us together—could do anything but create resentment and divisions; it is a recognized fact that since DEI and CRT were deployed, the nation and its people have become less cohesive and tolerant of each other or other people’s ideas. Every day, corporate HR is bad enough. Adding DEI overwatch makes people less productive, unwilling to communicate, and less likely to express anything for fear of misspeaking and whatever retribution follows.
You can’t grow anything in that tainted soil, and for corporations to invest millions on it annually to appease some partisan third-party ax grinder like the Human Rights Commission (HRC) has become a practice they’ve discovered they can do without. Trump stepping back into the Oval Office is proof enough that Americans have had it with a wide range of Left-Wing bullshit. If DEI is a casualty America and American’s will be better for it.
