3/ That[Fear CRT] is also the theme used to conduct Right Wing anti-vax and anti-environment campaigns.Per bit.ly/3i1e6Ax by Julie Hotard, PhD, psychologist, disinfo expert, @upine
4/ The Right Wing belief in evil Democrats is spread and fed by the Right Wing media bubble.Per bit.ly/3i1e6Ax by Julie Hotard, PhD, psychologist, disinfo expert, @upine

10/ In the current situation, with CRT, if Dems used talking points, they could get equal time in mainstream media, for important points made by Democrats about race.Per bit.ly/3i1e6Ax by Julie Hotard, PhD, psychologist, disinfo expert, @upine

16/ We can also do it by pushing organizations to apply systemic solutions, similar to the solutions the military already uses to counteract propaganda that occurs during the course of wars.[bit.ly/2Qlukt7]by Julie Hotard, PhD, psychologist, disinfo expert, @upine
