Trump Wants to Undo Diversity Programs.
The tails of the Alabama Air National Guard's F-35 Lightnings are painted red, like those of the Guard's F-16s before them. It's an homage to the famed Alabama-based unit of the Tuskegee Airmen, who flew red-tailed P-51 Mustangs during World War II.

... The squadron, which trained in the state, was the nation's first to be comprised of Black military pilots, shattering racial barriers and racist beliefs about the capabilities of Black pilots. Their success in combat paved the way for the desegregation of the U.S. military, a story that is interwoven in state and U.S. history. Yet for a moment after President Donald Trump took office, that history was almost scrubbed by the Air Force. The service removed training videos of the Tuskegee Airmen along with ones showing the World War II contributions of the Women's Airforce Service Pilots, or WASPs, at its basic training base in San Antonio, where airmen have passed through for generations. Although the move was swiftly rescinded after a bipartisan outcry, the fact that it happened even momentarily is evidence of the confusion resulting from the avalanche of executive orders and other actions from Trump since he began his second term in the White House. ...

Well, yeah.
If you look at the objections raised about anyone who is not a male White Christian nationalist, it does seem as if Pres Trump wants to return the Country to the 18th century, when white men ruled.

Yep... giving women the vote... even giving blacks and browns the vote? Big mistakes!
The biggest mistakes may have been Teddy Roosevelt breaking up the Oligarch's Monopolies. How dare he! Putting the People before the very wealthy. Who does that?
And then FDR dares to level the playing field just a bit by actually taxing millionaires. Who does he think he is?
No... this country was better off in the Gilded Years of the Rule of the Wealthy.
Fortunately, Trumpers have made sure that those years are coming back NOW!
Thanks, Trumpers!

Considering that it was American Conservatives in the late 1920's and throughout the 1930's that helped Hitler carry out his NAZI ambitions. You'd be absolutely correct. Trump and MAGA wants to return us to the the time where Cis white males rule and everyone else was subordinate to them. That's what's going on here.

The role of the conservative elite in the Nazi rise to power www.theholocaustexplained.org
... The conservative elite were the old ruling class and new business class in Weimar Germany. Throughout the 1920s they became increasingly frustrated with the Weimar Republic's continuing economic and political instability, their lack of real power and the rise of communism. They believed that a return to authoritarian rule was the only stable future for Germany which would protect their power and money. The first move towards this desired authoritarian rule was Hindenburg's increasing use of Article 48 . Between 1925-1931 Article 48 was used a total of 16 times. In 1931 alone this rose to 42 uses, in comparison to only 35 Reichstag laws being passed in the same year. In 1932, Article 48 was used 58 times. The conservative elite's second move towards authoritarian rule was helping the Nazi Party to gain power. The conservative elite and the Nazi Party had a common enemy -- the political left . ...
