Former president Barack Obama, speaking alongside Democratic vice presidential nominee Tim Walz at a Harris campaign event in Madison, Wisconsin on Tuesday, wondered how American society “got so toxic and just so divided and so bitter.”
Despite a refusal to acknowledge any role he may have played, the source of much of the nation’s division and conflict can be traced directly to Executive Order (EO) 13583, which Obama signed, establishing a coordinated government-wide initiative to promote inclusion and diversity in the federal workforce.
Dom Lucre | Breaker of Narratives @dom_lucre 🔥🚨BREAKING: President Obama is stressed out about the division in America and announced at Kamala Harris rally in Wisconsin that he wants to understand how America became so divided
Obama: "I don't understand how we got so toxic and just so divided and so bitter."
The EO signed on August 18, 2011, stated a commitment to “equal opportunity, diversity, and inclusion,” and directed all federal agencies to “develop and implement a more comprehensive, integrated, and strategic focus on diversity and inclusion as a key component of their human resource strategies.”
Former GOP presidential hopeful Dr. Ben Carson notes that instead of creating true equality before the law, the EO required federal agencies to divide their employees on the basis of artificial categories based on race, age, income, gender, political affiliation and religion.
Carson goes on to explain that this pattern of first dividing and then dumbing down the people is something that has happened in other countries that have embraced socialism or communism.
As federal guidelines on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) have metastasized into other American institutions including academia, corporations and the media, the nation’s divisions have continued to deepen rather than heal.
During his two terms as president, Obama did a considerable amount of dividing on his own as he described his political opponents in the most extreme terms.
Obama’s fretting over how divided the nation has become while failing to have enough self-awareness to see his own role in that division may be a textbook example of chutzpah, which Leo Rosten defined as: “that quality enshrined in a man who, having killed his mother and father, throws himself on the mercy of the court because he is an orphan.”
When is any GOP ‘leader’ going to take this to court...???
Executive Orders are NOT LAWS.
He can only give orders to those under his command: the government employees.
The president runs the day-to-day operations of the government. He is like the CEO of a company. A CEO of one company cannot give orders to the employees of another company.

Justice Department to defend DEI policy that threatens to derail Boeing deal
Excerpts:
The Justice Department is preparing to defend its use of diversity policies in choosing an independent monitor to oversee a plea agreement with Boeing Co.
So-called DEI policies - which companies use as part of an effort to create a fair workplace environment regardless of race, religion, gender or sexual orientation - have come under fire from conservatives who say the policies are actually discriminatory and disadvantage groups, particularly Whites.
That part:
DEI policies - which companies use as part of an effort to create a fair workplace environment regardless of race, religion, gender or sexual orientationis not true. In fact and practice, DEI is used to insert progressive nationalizing socialism into every branch of decision-taking.
You may own a company, but the nationalizing socialist government [aka The Swamp] makes the decisions.
And the results of DEI, are that not much gets done, other than beefing up the government institutions' arrogance, effective-ownership, power, and threats.
Ask Kamala Harris, and she will tell you about "holistic rock concertality." Or something else.
