Trump's team is rolling back DEIA already.
Did you read the executive order? It's not the left calling it DEIA. Its Trump.
> Sec. 2. Implementation. (a) The Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), assisted by the Attorney General and the Director of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), shall coordinate the termination of all discriminatory programs, including illegal DEI and “diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility” (DEIA) mandates, policies, programs, preferences, and activities in the Federal Government, under whatever name they appear.

Because it's a pretty simple legal maneuver to say "no this EO isn't requiring us to shut down this program because we call it 'DEIA' instead of 'DEI' so it's different."
The EO is using the language of the programs to ensure that they're shut down.
Accessibility has been around forever. One of the major proponents of it was a Republican nominee for President. It has broad bipartisan support.
DEI has been around for 45 minutes and is racism disguised as anti-racism.
