      Defining CRT doctrines down to "cultural change" is some first-class retreat-from-bailey-to-motte.https://twitter.com/rickperlstein/status/1405196045206835216 …

      So, "critical race theory": right-wing strategists identifying, then exacerbating, local discontents about cultural change as an organizing tool has been utterly routinized for almost 50 years. THAT'S THE STORY! Yet somehow it comes off as novel each and every time. pic.twitter.com/fR52Q8Hxwf

      There are no such "doctrines."

      Total denial that any such ideas or concepts exist is a wonderful display of intellectual dishonesty.

          He's saying that conservatism has for decades cast around for any kind of scary-sounding idea that doesn't fully bathe the United States in holy absolution to make hay out of it. Why would you deny one of your movement's most successful signature tactics?

          We have successfully frozen their brand—"critical race theory"—into the public conversation and are steadily driving up negative perceptions. We will eventually turn it toxic, as we put all of the various cultural insanities under that brand category.

          The intellectual dishonesty is in treating an idea or concept as a "doctrine." Without that very slippery slope, you know damn well your silly panic over CRT doesn't pass muster.

          Tell this guy. Before strategists got a hold of it as a tool, CRT referred only to grad-level social theory.https://www.huffpost.com/entry/chris-pringle-critical-race-theory_n_60c9412ce4b0b0e8341f4751 …

          I see you now have at least retreated to acknowledging the existence of the academic theory. Next, you will tell me that it's pop-society formations by the likes of Kendi & D'Angelo exist, or do not exist? Depends on your mood!
