ADA predates DEI by a couple decades. Lots of people, including Republicans, support the ADA and support expanding its protections.
This is a pretty standard tactic of partisans when their pet issue becomes unpopular - take something unrelated, or at best tangentially related, and pretend it's related or that that's what they've been advocating for all along.
I don't care if you support the ADA or you don't. I don't care if you support DEI or you don't. But they're different, they've never been related, and any attempt by partisans on the left to lump them together is just trying to reframe the issue as "against DEI == against the ADA" because of course everyone on the right hates disabled people right?

Same sort of bullshit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americans_with_Disabilities_Act_of_1990#Opposition_from_religious_groups https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Americans_with_Disabilities_Ac... Both are rooted in the same concept - that people should have fair opportunity to participate in society even if different in some ways.
- pc86 2y agoScroll up a couple lines from your link and take a look at the sponsor, who Republicans nominated to be President. So no, your partisan assertion is nonsense.
- ceejayoz 2y agoTom Harkin? The Democrat? Are we to think that the Republican party of 1990 - of the Bushes and the Cheneys and the Romneys - is the same as the Republican party of 2025 that has driven them out of the org?
- pc86 2y agoWe're both wrong. I was referring to Dole who was not a sponsor but was a supporter and advocate.
- dalmo3 2y agoIt's called Motte and Bailey fallacy.
- ceejayoz 2y agoFalse allegations of that are themselves a fallacy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pooh-pooh https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pooh-pooh
