Putting this back out there. Dems can't organize against RW propaganda because, for any given bit of propaganda ("parents just spontaneously discovered CRT on their own!"), it is helpful for some Dem faction in its forever war against some other Dem faction.

If you're in the faction invested in the "Dems are too identarian" narrative, then the notion that parents just spontaneously rose up against woke curriculum is helpful to you. It advances your factional interests. So you ignore the man behind the curtain.
I remember when "liberal hawks" used to point at public polls that showed people freaking out about WMD & say, "see, the people agree with us, you pacifist elitists!" They had every incentive to ignore the RW agitprop machine that was pumping out lies about WMD for months prior.
It's the same across the board: for every hackish, dishonest attack on Dems from the right, there is some faction of Dems *for whom it is useful* in their internecine wars. This basically prevents unified Dem pushback on anything.
