FOX: Hi, we’ve spent 6 months convincing our viewers that teachers were using CRT to brainwash children into hating white people

D: But

R: We are motivated & energized to vote for Republicans to rid our schools of the CRT menace

NYT: Can Democrats Overcome the Enthusiasm Gap?

FOX: Black Lives Matter Thugs Rioting & Looting Antifa Critical Race Theory Immigrants MS-13 Sharia Law China Virus Woke Mob Border Emergency

R: Maybe you Democrats would win more elections if you weren’t focused so singlemindedly on race

D: Nobody teaches CRT in public schools

R: By “CRT”, of course I mean any curriculum that suggests institutional racism is now or was ever a thing

D: That’s a pretty wide net to cast

R: Not if the schools just stop talking about race

D: I see

R: Also, Cancel Culture sucks

NYT: Why Have the Democrats Failed to Effectively Refute the CRT Albatross?

D: We can’t refute it because they don’t actually care what CRT is

R: 😂 TRIGGERED!

D: It’s not as if these blinkered assholes listen to reason

R: Oh, and you can’t insult us if you want our votes

D: For Democrats, there doesn’t seem to be much net difference between “ignoring the GOP’s bullshit accusations” and “getting down into the mud & refuting them point by point.” At the end of the day, “Critical Race Theory” is all anyone remembers. Which hurts us.

NYT: Well, fuck

D: It’d be nice if Red-State America were receptive to some kind of antidote to the 24-7 stream of Officially-Sanctioned Tucker Carlson Race-Baiting Propaganda, but poll after poll indicates that this stuff sticks, and any counterarguments are handily dismissed as MSM lies

D: Meanwhile, Democrats are advised to “Vote! Vote! VOTE!”, but the effectiveness of that strategy is limited by what our representatives are willing to do with the power they have; it certainly doesn’t help when

NYT: I’m sorry; can you please talk a little slower

D: Thanks to gerrymandering, we can barely eke out a majority, & even the Democrats we have can’t always agree on basic message discipline, as opposed to the GOP which receives orders & proceeds to march in lockstep

NYT: So is CRT a good thing or a bad thing
