Summary
If the White House only protects conservatives from being dropped by banks—but not everyone else—that’s not fairness. That’s just another form of political discrimination, and I won’t stay quiet about it.
Discrimination isn’t solved by playing favorites.
Reports say the White House is preparing an executive order to punish banks that close accounts belonging to conservatives or businesses tied to conservative politics. They’re calling it a move against discrimination. But let’s be honest—it’s not.
If a liberal nonprofit, immigrant aid group, or reproductive health clinic gets debanked, this order does nothing. That’s not equal protection. That’s protecting one side and ignoring everyone else.
Conservatives absolutely deserve fair treatment. But so do progressives, environmentalists, immigrants, and anyone else who isn’t politically aligned with the current White House. If we’re going to use civil rights laws to protect against discrimination, they better apply to all Americans—not just the ones with the right connections in Washington.
This isn’t just about banking. It’s about fairness. It’s about stopping our government from using executive power to reward allies and punish critics. The Equal Credit Opportunity Act exists for a reason. If we start weaponizing it for politics, we’ve lost the meaning of justice altogether.
True equality under the law doesn’t come with an asterisk. If you want to stop political discrimination, it has to apply to everyone—no matter who they voted for.
