"Wilson's worldview seems quite simple: God placed men over women and white people over Black people. Any effort to disrupt the 'natural' hierarchy is dangerous and sinful. As Adam Serwer wrote for the Atlantic on Saturday, the goal of the Trump administration is to 'repeal the gains of the civil-rights era in their entirety.' While Trump, Hegseth, and other MAGA figureheads occasionally 'pay lip service to ideals of color-blind meritocracy,' Serwer argues, it's swiftly evident that 'merit' is code for the Trumpian 'conviction that white men are by definition the most competent possible candidates.'"
