      Yes. Anyone who says that the fears around "critical race theory" in schools are pure panic and nothing else is gaslighting us at this point. Of course, it's not as much of a problem as Republicans claim, but it's still a problem. https://twitter.com/razibkhan/status/1405924582368894981 …

      It's not just gaslighting, though. It's also collective delusion. They really do believe a bunch of QANON-style lunacy about how dark money Koch Bros type groups are 100% behind this school stuff, & how it's literally the same as the older Creationism in schools push.

      Critical Race Theory is the new Intelligent Design Theory.

      Well, what is being specifically alleged is that the anti-CRT movement is the new ID theory. This argument is bolstered by the fact that @realchrisrufo used to be at the Discover Institute. This doesn't mean the argument is right, but gives them ammo.

      Also giving them ammo is the fact that establishment right-wing organizers from other causes really have gone all-in on anti-CRT & are showing up on Fox. So they can point to these folks & say, "see... it's ALL just an establishment GOP op."

      Who cares? We are being effective and achieving results. The "GOP op" message, besides being inaccurate, has failed to move the dial in any way.

          Yeah, that's the thing: you can do this now on any side of any issue. Whenever something that has some real culture war juice in it comes up, professionals on whatever side will jump in very quickly. People are wise to this, so the fact that pros are in the mix is just 🤷‍♂️.

          I think many parts of The Discourse can be attributed to the fact that even savvy people haven't fully recalibrated to the speed of cultural diffusion in 2021. How a curriculum at a NYC prep school can quickly manifest in BFE Idaho b/c teachers in both locales are Very Online.

          Can this approach work in blue states? Or are places like New York, LA and San Francisco lost causes?
