But a pernicious movement endangers this foundational principle, seeking to transform America’s promise of equal opportunity into a divisive pursuit of results preordained by irrelevant immutable characteristics, regardless of individual strengths, effort, or achievement.

Wholly ignores the fact of historical systemic prejudice that puts many people way behind the moment they're born, because of "irrelevant immutable characteristics".

They've really doubled down on "evil is good and good is evil" (to paraphrase Isaiah 5:20).

The efforts to correct for historical systemic prejudice and provide actual equal opportunity (which is a step towards the meritocracy they claim to want) is painted as being evil, whilst a return to the "equal outcome" (for the rich and white, regardless of skill or effort) is represented as good. They have deliberately gotten the two scenarios backwards in that EO.

It allows racial discrimination throughout red states. The government will not enforce the Civil Rights act on behalf of its people and that means their rights to able to vote are more than likely over.

We are very slowly being squeezed into full blown riots and civil disobedience. That's when they call Martial Law and Civil War II: Drone Based Boogaloo begins.

It's what the Heritage Foundation is itching for.

Martial law is their end goal. They want to get people angry and upset enough that they march on DC is record numbers, so they can call in the national guard and the army and send ever single person who shows up to El Salvador.
