I would think the extraordinary success of the right-wing's fraudulent "CRT" hype -- and the absolutely pathetic, barely-there Dem response -- might draw people's attention to the vast asymmetry in the parties' ability to coordinate & push messages to voters.
I would think it might also draw attention to the futility of the Dem-consultant strategy of fleeing from culture war issues rather than fighting them.
The RW conjured a national movement of parents against CRT ***out of absolutely nothing***. The entire f'ing thing is invented. But it worked! Because the right has a giant propaganda machine. The left doesn't. All other talk about strategy is pointless as long as this is true.
No delusion has been shared by more people on the left, for longer, than the notion that having more & better "facts" matters a single goddamn whit in politics.
Having more & better facts would be a political advantage *within a social infrastructure that differentially identifies & rewards accuracy & penalizes dishonesty*. We don't have one of those. The RW has spent 5 decades disassembling the halfass simulacrum of one we used to have.
