It’s not “scared of diversity”; diversity is just the dog-whistle. Their ideology demands unconditional support for people who are “on their team” and punishment (economic and otherwise) for people who aren’t. Airlines aren’t willing to cooperate with performative anti-leftism, so they’re the enemy now. Same with Truth Social being the only acceptable social media, or Alex Jones Brand Patriot Coffee / Beer / Whatever. The true believers are tribing themselves up.
