Contrary to what some on the right may believe, we are not winning the war against DEI placements and promotions, and we are not winning the war against the greater “Woke” ideology. Both have been placed in faux hibernation by a far-left playing the long game.
Actually, the game may not turn out to be that long at all. Many on the left are planning to double and triple-down on the “Woke” gameplan should the Democrats take back part or all of Congress in November and the White House in 2028.
Should you need a very recent reminder of how insidious and embedded DEI appointments combined with the “Woke” theology can be, I encourage you to watch the smug and condescending testimony given by National Museum of American History Director Anthea Hartig in response to a number of sane and pragmatic questions asked of her by Congressman Brandon Gill of Texas. While Gill put on a masterclass on exposing merit and nation-destroying “wokism,” I can assure you that the seemingly self-righteous and arrogant Hartig was mentally drumming her fingers while thinking: “We are just going to wait you and the Trump administration out and then reinstall “Woke” and DEI across the government and private sector spectrum.”
One of the most dangerous programs Congressman Gill exposed was something called the “MASS Action Toolkit.” MASS standing for “Museums as Sites for Social Action.” A far-left, anti-Trump propaganda narrative created by museum professionals around 2017 to turn their workplaces into hubs of woke activism and “resistance.” The Smithsonian staff heavily promoted it as part of their DEI initiatives.
The obvious question then becomes how best to combat a war that we are losing. First, acknowledge we are losing. Next, see the strategy of the left for what it is. They are playing the “wait you out” game. Next, pick high profile battlefields subverted by the left and decisively win back that terrain.
And with that strategy in mind, I can think of no better place than the Smithsonian. The greater museum of the American people has been deeply infiltrated by the left. They have, year-by-year, step-by-step, turned it into a toxic cauldron for “Social Justice.”

President Trump has the power to help reverse that. While he cant directly appoint someone as the head of the Smithsonian, he can exert sustained pressure on the 17-Member Board of Regents to make it happen.
And he does need to make it happen as fast as humanly possible.
To millions in our nation and billions around the world, the Smithsonian Institution is the face of “America.” It hosts over 20 million visitors per year while also “educating” over 20 million students per year. It is one of our nations most important megaphones and no one understands that better than the woke, Socialist and Marxist subversives who have infiltrated every building and hallway within the institution.
