  • サマリー

  • Every president describes their first days in office as historic. Donald Trump has a legitimate claim, and not just for being the second former president to return in a non-consecutive term. Trump prepared well to transform the federal government, and in doing so reset the Overton Window of possibilities. Or did he?

    In one of his boldest actions, Trump reversed a sixty-year-old executive order by Lyndon Baines Johnson to end affirmative action in all phases of the federal government. Trump had pledged to end DEI and restore merit as the sole value in hiring, but few predicted this move—or had even debated it.

    Some observers were shocked at the drastic action, but they shouldn’t be surprised. Americans had long ago concluded that the policy had at best outlived any usefulness it had, and more opposed it now than ever before. Trump didn’t shift the Overton Window of debate; he defeated the Democrats who refused to recognize that the window had already shifted.

    That’s a hard lesson on the danger of staying in an Academia bubble.
