    New from me: Back when the Tea Party was born, its leaders were all “oh it’s not racist, we don’t hate Obama because he’s Black! Just his tax policies!!” Those same people now: jk it’s all about race and critical race theory is the literal devil https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/gop-s-critical-race-theory-astroturfing-new-tea-party-n1272492 …pic.twitter.com/29JvBJYFKL

        A lot of folks are wondering “what was low-key about the Tea Party’s racism???” Well, the fact is that they had to pretend it was zero percent about race — and serious people believed them. It really marks how segment of the right-wing has shiftedhttps://www.msnbc.com/opinion/gop-s-critical-race-theory-astroturfing-new-tea-party-n1272492 …

        Like here’s a fun fact: when the NAACP’s delegates called for the Tea Party’s leaders to condemn racists in their midsts, those leaders…condemned the NAACP for daring say such a thing. That included the late Andrew Breitbart. https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/gop-s-critical-race-theory-astroturfing-new-tea-party-n1272492 …pic.twitter.com/b32SgVfO1J

        But here’s what’s really wild: folks were like “oh man, maybe the NAACP is going too far! Why would they hurt themselves and their reputation like this?” Even Ta-Nehisi Coates had to sit with it for a second before agreeing with the NAACP’s movehttps://www.theatlantic.com/national/archive/2010/07/the-naacp-is-right/59793/ …

        Now here we are today with the GOP openly embracing the anti-CRT “grassroots” campaign as the way back to power. And with quotes like this from Steve Bannon, who himself was a big Tea Party promoter, the motivation is clear af https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/gop-s-critical-race-theory-astroturfing-new-tea-party-n1272492?icid=msd_topgrid …pic.twitter.com/sKqMCyunIv

        So, to sum up, the GOP is hoping for a repeat of 2010’s Tea Party surge on the back of anti-CRT activism. This time though it’s more honest: they aren’t even pretending it’s not about whipping up the fears of white suburban votershttps://www.msnbc.com/opinion/gop-s-critical-race-theory-astroturfing-new-tea-party-n1272492?icid=msd_topgrid …

        That was a real rib tickler from all those right wing racists. Sure, sure, cool cool cool not because Obama is Black.

        I have to admit it never occurred to me the Tea Party was about race. I was convincing it started in reaction to overspending under George W Bush. The Iraq war wasn’t cheap.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea_Party_movement#History …

        It's pretty obvious if you scrawl through their tweets. The emphasis is on "CRT = anti white". Not anti equality, discrimination, diversity, or any number of other similar ideas. Anyone that disagrees is lambasted and dehumanized. The purpose and audience is clear

        The CRT hysteria is post-George Floyd pushback.
