The article discusses two contrasting perspectives on the implications of President Trump's policies and the current state of the Democratic Party. Ruy Teixeira argues that Democrats must adapt and compromise on popular issues like border security and energy production, rather than sticking to unpalatable policies. Meanwhile, James Piereson suggests that Trump's executive orders could signify the decline of the diversity and affirmative-action initiatives that gained traction post-George Floyd's death, positing that sustained pressure from Trump might permanently dismantle this regime.
Instead of doubling down on their least popular policy agenda items, Democrats should seek compromise on issues where Trump has popular support.
To rebuild their shattered party, Democrats will have no choice but to exercise restraint and choose their fights with Trump wisely.
If Trump can keep the pressure on for four or eight years, advocates will find it difficult to recreate the diversity regime.
Trump's recent executive orders could mark the end of the affirmative-action and diversity regime.
