But I believe the only reason this is an issue is because Trump is the president. End of story, over and out.
You are mixing up cause and effect here. From the State Department memo adopting Times New Roman:
Marco Rubio wrote:“To restore decorum and professionalism to the Department’s written work products and abolish yet another wasteful DEIA [Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility] program, the Department is returning to Times New Roman as its standard typeface.”
This is an issue because Trump is president and made it an issue. Rubio, acting as a conduit for Trump, made this about DEI. This change back would never have happened under any other president, Democrat or Republican. And, as a sidenote, whatever it cost to switch to Calibri under Biden, it probably cost the same or more (due to inflation) to switch back under Trump.

I get why DEI is “woke,” but what’s wrong with accessibility? George Bush signed the Americans with Disabilities Act. Many of those who benefit from it are veterans, former first responders, and other Americans who love Trump. Dismissing their needs is bad politics as well as cruel.

It is highly questionable, regardless of the 'experts' that SSS invariably digs up, whether this was any benefit to anyone, except to use as an 'achievement' for the DEI department, which, overall, was and is a detriment to our society.

Guys, at some point no one gives a rat's ass, because y'all skew shit to keep the mumbling going.
I am stupid for injecting my comments. Ciao
Well, then

Money quote from this article:
Jason [the author of another article on the same subject] did a great job breaking down the why part of how those now screaming about the election being stolen are doing so from their butts.
For some reason, I immediately thought of Flock when I read this sentence.

Wow, congratulations for finding the Peach Pundit. Subscriber list is even smaller than the AJC. Maybe 100 or so. Some of our group are very well familiar with Scot Turner and Jason Shepard. They are 'hopelessly in the tank' for Raffensperger. And BTW you're in the wrong thread.
I could go point for point with the arguments they have thrown out, but why? You will not give even the first point a second of thought before you think of another insult to hurl at me. I refer you to David Shafer's answer. It is succinct enough for you, and you may possibly comprehend it. I will just leave it there and we'll see what happens. For now I'll just jump into my overalls, grab my AK and get some grub at mickey ds. You are as accurate in that observation as you are in all your others.

Yeah, I know. But this is my, damn I can't think of the word. What is it when you get WWTBAM questions that are in your area of knowledge?
Well, this is that for me.
Anyway, tomorrow is Christmas Eve, and I will be seeing my friends and family.
Merry Christmas.

It has been a benefit to me, flock. Sidewalk cuts, for instance, make it possible for me to navigate streets. Providing access to buildings allows me to attend trivia events that I would not other wise be able to. Perhaps before you blow off accessibility as a "DEI 'achievement'", try rolling a mile in someone else's wheelchair.
And a Merry Christmas to all.
