"Emmitsburg Mayor Frank Davis voted for Donald Trump in hopes he would cut federal spending. Now Davis hopes those cuts don't include the permanent cancellation of classes at the National Fire Academy, which is part of the town's identity and helps drive its economy. Davis is also a chief at Emmitsburg's firehouse, known as the Vigilant Hose Company."
Trump killed the Fema training academy. It's not coming back.

In every single one of these stories, the reporters need to be asking whether it was the racism or the fascism that appealed more to these voters. Inquiring minds want to know and we shouldn't let them off the hook or worse, to cry for our sympathy.

So it is both!
My solution to that was to make them spell out DEI, dont let them hide behind an accronyem. Make them say every part of it, and see which part they wrinkle their noses at. Makes it much easier to tell which flavor of intolerant they are.
"Is DEI in the room with us right now?"
