I agree with everything you said to some degree, except, unfortunately, the first sentence. The pendulum is obviously swinging to the right, generally, which, to be 100% transparent, I believe is worse than when the pendulum is on the left. I wish we could keep it centered, but I guess that's not how it works.

We are restoring the straightforward principle of merit-based hiring. This is not a "right wing" concept. It is simply fair. We are moving away from a cultural Marxist leftwing ideology ("equity"), which meant discriminatory hiring as a kind of "eye-for-an-eye" collective punishment against a mostly innocent group of people based on their immutable birth characteristics. Retaliatory justice against a population for perceived historic unfairness. That is an extremist policy. It's only because the Overton Window shifted to the left that some people don't consider "equity" policies as extreme. We are moving from the extreme left towards the centre.
