“Oh look, it’s couch-fucker,” one person shouted in a video shared on social media. Another added, “You gonna fuck a couch, buddy?” As the heckling escalated, chants of “Go fuck a couch, JD Vance!” and “pussy boy” filled the busy train station.

I think the battle over the real meaning of DEI is lost. I know many organizations (e.g., libraries) have begun to pivot to using different language to achieve the same goals. So the idea of using those three letters against MAGA while it they remain in the zeitgheist is appealing to me.
As for whether performative racism is a bridge too far, I’m torn. I partially agree with you, given it’s potential impact on innocents that are exposed outside of the intended MAGA audience. But I don’t think it would make us racist in the same way that a soldier who kills enemy soldiers in war is not a murderer. They are a killer, certainly, but not a murderer. Of course, there is a sacrifice of character being made there, but not so much as in the case of the murderer.
