43% would be not at all willing to date someone who had opposing views on Donald Trump. Many say the same for the Capitol attack (39%), DEI (37%), abortion (37%), and gender roles (37%).
I think woke becoming a pejorative (and the associated cultural shift) enabled people who were opposed to DEI (on the grounds that it’s affirmative action) to be more vocal in their opposition to it. Of course, overtly racist people oppose DEI most vocally. I’m not sure. Anyway, among actual humans I talk to who dislike DEI, they generally are not especially racist.
Anyway, that is a compelling argument, but on the other hand, it also normalizes the belief that diversity requires affirmative action, and it does not – equity is a fix for a symptom, but not the cure; it can be pre-empted by better equality earlier in the chain.
