      1. This is in fact the typical coalition of right-wing mobilization: elite defense of status quo allying with vulgar anger: the snobs & the slobs. In 1920 Lothrop Stoddard writing tomes while other rougher Klansmen did the lynchings: led to 1924 immigration act among others.https://twitter.com/lionel_trolling/status/1407676097261715458 …

      Jeet Heer added,

      John Ganz @lionel_trolling
      The thing about the formation of the anti-CRT ideology is that it has a potential coalition behind it: the relatively affluent and educated who can claim to simply disdain vulgar race-consciousness and those who have more explicit racial animus can be united under one banner

      2. One sees the snobs & slobs alliance in McCarthyism, with roughneck Tailgunner Joe providing the popular touch while Wilmoore Kendall & William F. Buckley (and even, sadly Sidney Hook) providing a high-brow rational for red baiting.

          3. As I mentioned the other day, anti-CRT movement has this component, with both a very explicitly racialist base stirring up shit & a very organized think tank/dark money infrastructure pushing it into respectable form of GOP bills.

          4. As I mentioned before, the 1974 text book wars in West Virginia, where fundamentalist parents dynamited a school building to oppose comparative religion text, is real model. Heritage Foundation send lawyers to defend accused bombers & mobilize parents into New Right.

          5. The anti-CRT has to be understood politically: its a strategy for the out-of-national-power right to consolidate base & recruit new people. School controversies are great for right because they can cultivate local hotheads & turn them into political functionaries.

          6. I did a podcast with @rickperlstein, the great Homeric chronicler of the American Right, tracing the origins of the anti-CRT agitation back to the schools wars of the distant past but also the New Right playbook of 1970s. It's a great conversation!https://jeetheer.substack.com/p/podcast-rick-perlstein-on-moral-panic?r=bh54&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email&utm_source=twitter …
