What a week. Trump's win was a stunning rebuke to woke policies and DEI.....

Trump's win may be a rejection of 'woke' ideology - here's why -ynet news

Many of the American citizens who voted for Trump may not have been endorsing him personally; instead, their votes were perhaps a rejection of "woke" ideology and the ultra-liberal values associated with Kamala Harris. This election was, for them, a vote to "make America great again" by realigning the country with its foundational principles, rooted in faith and the motto "In God We Trust."

Kamala Harris learns the hard way that woke doesn’t work-NY Post

Yes, progressivism is a horrible business model, or the stock of big progressive companies like Disney wouldn’t be dead money for the past decade as it embarked on a crusade of cultural transformation in programming — including inculcating children with same-sex kissing scenes in its animated movies.
Kamala Harris exudes wokeness — she said as much when she once opined that “everyone needs to be woke.”

The Left’s woke agenda died this week-Washington Examiner

There were many reasons that President-elect Donald Trump won in such a resounding victory this week: inflation, the bewildering open border policy, the Afghanistan withdrawal humiliation, the world on fire, etc. But let’s not forget one of the top ones: This was a resounding defeat of wokeism.

Can a Second Trump Term Quell Wokeness?-National Review

This could all be very wrong. It could be that on January 20, 2025, we will inaugurate both Trump and a woke resistance for another four-year term. That is easily plausible and ought not to be discounted. But neither should we blindly assume that such an occurrence is inevitable. It might be wish-casting, but there are reasons to think that wokeness will not as easily penetrate our domestic tranquility as it did during Trump’s first term. Wouldn’t that be nice?

How a Trump presidency could lead to a purge at the Pentagon-Reuters

DEI Is a Corporate Bust-National Review

A corollary in American culture may be that for every reasonable action, there is a hyperbolic overreaction.
Such is the case when it comes to diversity, equity, and inclusion policies in corporate America. Filmmaker Robby Starbuck has used his social-media following to expose DEI initiatives at several major American corporations. Operating on the premise that sunlight is the best disinfectant, Starbuck has brought failed policies that are legally questionable and highly unpopular with consumers to the attention of the general public and the ...

Donald Trump’s election win will create a DEI reckoning that forces companies to either stand up for their policies or ‘step away’-Fortune

Companies who are still considering DEI as part of their larger business strategies might shift the way they present and implement those changes. That could include doing away with standalone teams and chief diversity officer titles, and integrating those roles into other functions.

DEI under Donald Trump—here’s what HR leaders and experts think will happen over the next 4 years-MSN

“I do think some companies are going to start to use the rhetoric we've heard from Trump over the last year to step away from some of these things,” Paul Wolfe, the former CHRO at Indeed, Match.com, and Conde Nast, tells Fortune. “I think this is another thing that will only get harder for DEIB professionals and HR professionals to deal with.”

ESG Investors Remain Optimistic Despite Looming Threat of Trump-Institutional Investor

Following the re-election of President Trump this week, there is a sea change on the horizon that could go well beyond this redefinition.
