Rule 0: Prepend date of original article in square-brackets YYYYMMDD format!

Rule 1: Anti-vax and flat-earth are strictly prohibited.

Rule 2: Discipline/paradigm tribalism is frowned upon. Bashing the humanities on the basis of an "orden scientis" greatly overlaps with the purge rationale, and will be proactively moderated.

Rule 3: Site-wide code of conduct applies.

Rule 4: Cis-genderism is considered a form of science-denialism.

Rule 5: Ableism, eugenics, and gender/race essentialist pseudoscience will be removed upon detection, and reported to anti-nazi collectives.

What would a force hostile to the United States—a nation whose power has been the envy of the world for more than seven decades—do if it were able to set up an influential pipeline for policy ideas directly to the White House? Or, better yet, if it could somehow burrow into the mind of its president?

With so many points of U.S. strength, it is hard to know where to begin. One might start by fanning a backlash against the long-standing, if halting, trend in U.S. society toward inclusiveness, which has gradually sought to bring disfavored groups into the fold of the country’s prosperity. This might include waging a war against diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives—one that, in its most Orwellian dimension, would extend to policing the use of words such as “bias,” “privilege,” and “equality” in government agencies.
