So there's all of that stuff is actually already happening.
You've got the chair of the Equal Opportunity Commission who has basically put out a kind of ambulance chasing lawyers ad saying, Are you a white male who's experienced discrimination at work based on your race or sex?
So there is also a hunger for using the instruments of the kind of pro-DEI bureaucracy in the other direction.
And actually saying, well, we think it's now it's white men's turn to get treated to some of this, you know, be treated as a protected group and get some special latitude in some of these hiring decisions.
Scott Yenna wants to, for example...
reinstitute male-only military colleges.
He thinks that having women in military training colleges, again, affects these kind of very manly, vigorous, slightly bullying standards, and they make everything a bit of an HR bureaucratic nightmare.
But I think you've got to think about it equivalent to the campaign to end Roe versus Wade, which, while it was a kind of stretch goal of the religious right for decades, in the interim, what they did was make it much, much harder to have an abortion in the states where they controlled the state houses, right?
You know, imposing regulation and legislation.
There's stuff in Project 2025, for example, about making it harder to produce and distribute abortion pills.
You find ways that are small tweaks by imposing burdens on people that you just nudge and nudge and nudge towards your desired end state.
As you say, I think it's relatively unlikely that J.D.
Vance is going to go in front of the American people in 2028 and say,
Guys, vote for me.
Well, half of you.
Or women, enjoy voting for the last time.
You won't get to again.
Because it's wildly unpopular.
In the same way that actually complete and total abortion bans are unpopular.
But the one thing you would say about the American political system is unfortunately it is very friendly to minoritarian ideas.
