One deadly myth harmful to the conservative cause is that once the full weight of the establishment pushes a liberal initiative forward, it is futile to resist it.
Such fatalism is false. Plenty of well-advanced leftist initiatives have suffered crushing defeats. It is enough to recall the doomed Equal Rights Amendment, Roe v. Wade, or Common Core. All found their way to the liberal graveyard of lost causes awaiting reincarnation under other acronyms.

The Fate of DEI
The latest program to suffer the indignity of premature death is DEI. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) programs require that race, ethnicity, sex, and LGBTQ+ orientation be used as primary criteria to run and staff corporations, universities, and institutions.
These programs were all the rage as little as a year ago. Every corporation, university, or institution had to have its DEI officer or department that would virtue-signal compliance with mandates. Graduates specialized in DEI studies were guaranteed cushy jobs at woke firms.
Those days are now over. DEI and its nasty cousin, ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance mandates), are on their way out. Massive pushback from conservative activists has all but sealed their fate.
Massive Backlash Has Results
The DEI debacle happened because people challenged the fatalist myth that resistance to such programs is futile.
DEI is dying because activists and public interest groups are campaigning hard against it. They have seen how DEI programs, with their obsessions with race, sexual orientation, and other preferences, work to the detriment of good business practices. Critics argue that DEI initiatives weaponized the workplace, creating an atmosphere of distrust and mediocrity.
