I disagree with the policy, but I also question the strategy.

The interesting thing about going after DEI and protests so early in the move right wards, is these behaviors galvanize folks against the left. Four years is a long time for folks memory to fade, and if DEI and Protests aren’t happening as much, I think it warms people up to the return of left-wing governance.

If I was on the right and trying to maintain power. I would attack DEI while also finding ways to keep it in place structurally. Harvard as a perceived enemy promoting DEI is much more useful to the right than a Harvard that is perceived as politically neutral (to top it off, the underlying structural ideology is probably still in place, they just cut the head off)

But I think most voters hate violent protest. To try and get rid of it feels like a strategic misstep.
