This seems correct, RE the critical race theory propaganda blitz, and should be a reminder that the whole thing is a concoction of the right, built by nutpicking and dissembling about random incidents that have no attachment to national partisan politics.

The asymmetry in how the parties prosecute culture wars reminds me of how this crazy story from almost three years ago just kinda went poof. politico.com/story/2019/08/…
The elite right had taken to blending "Nietzschean philosophy with critiques of contemporary Western society, denigrating homosexuality, Judiasm, Islam, feminism," fixating on "population genetics," and an "affinity for Slavic and northern European cultures." I.e. Nazism.
Speaking only for myself, that seems very bad. Worse perhaps than even the worst DEI training in history. Or anything else the GOP pretends to believe is critical race theory.
It’d be straightforward for the left and Dems to seize on stuff like this and use it as a cultural wedge against the right/GOP. It might even root out some actual Nazis, which would be great. But in practice it doesn’t happen.
I mean, we had to wait almost six months for a Jan 6 committee and we still don’t know if it’s going to be the real deal or a box-checking exercise.
