That's... sort of wildly spun. There was no funding fight, it was just an executive order. It didn't apply to public grants, only some federal agencies. It was largely unenforced.

Do DEI statements (which amount to "Our staffing decisions aren't discriminatory because...") constitute "Democrat social ideology"? Well, maybe! But it's spun, in exactly the same way that "Republican" ideology appears to be constructed around the "freedom to be racist and bigoted".

To be blunt: I'd rather live in a society that demands toothless DEI statements from the bureaucracy than one that defunds good science based on political language. And I suspect the same thing is true for you.
