The article discusses Trump's new executive order barring males from competing in girls' and women's sports and contrasts this with the Democratic Party’s embrace of what the author calls "woke" practices. The author expresses disappointment in the Democrats, particularly regarding their handling of affirmative action and the focus shift from class issues to identity politics. Initially a party committed to bridging social inequities, the Democrats have diluted the essence of qualification in hiring practices by prioritizing identity over merit, leading to accusations of reverse discrimination.
"Affirmative action became a clumsy marker for who should be hired rather than a more nuanced examination of applicants' skills, which can be found in abundance in communities that suffered discrimination."
"The Democrats were once the party of working people and unions, focusing on class issues, but now they seem to focus on every characteristic except class."
