United States President Donald Trump and his administrative co-conspirators (the reason why I use the term “co-conspirators” will become apparent) are working diligently to eliminate all diversity initiatives. One of the sad components of this undertaking is the encouragement to inform on colleagues who might in some way still be harbouring DEI intentions. Furthermore, if you don’t inform, you, yourself, could be subject to adverse consequences.
This type of manipulation is a legendary element of authoritarian regimes like Russia, China and Nazi Germany. Spy on your neighbour or colleague, you get rewarded. If you don’t, you will be punished. Whether or not you support DEI does not matter as it relates to what I am talking about. I am talking about the use of secrecy, intimidation, punishment and mistrust as the methodology being used to eliminate DEI.
This is a disturbing development. Remember, this is not just Trump we are talking about; it is also about the people in his administration supportive of this methodology. This is why I refer to them as “co-conspirators.”
It is important to always remember that whatever Trump says, he is not just speaking for himself, but also for his political cadre and general public supporters. As I said, this is a disturbing development.
