"What Rufo has been cleverly doing is cherry-picking the worst examples that he can find of lessons in classrooms or training materials for teachers and saying, 'that is CRT' ... And the thing is—it fucking worked."

Even my enemies can't help but give me the W.

John Oliver spent 28 minutes hyperventilating about the anti-CRT movement, repeating the dumbest tropes, like "CRT is graduate-level legal theory" and never taught in K-12 schools. But he's doing us an unintentional favor: the more the public learns about CRT, the more we win.

According to Democratic Party pollsters, 61 percent of swing district voters agree with the statement: "Democrats are teaching kids as young as five Critical Race Theory, which teaches that America is a racist country and that white people are racist."

The reality is that my voice is much more powerful than John Oliver's. The NYT, WaPo, CNN, and MSNBC have been lying about CRT for the past year—and the public doesn't believe them.

We have the truth on our side and we will win. ⚔️

P.S. The reason John Oliver and Trevor Noah aren't funny is because, traditionally, the court jester is supposed to mock the nobility; Oliver and Noah, by contrast, sneer at the population "below" them.

They're not a challenge to power; they're a mouthpiece for power.

The delight of political comedy comes from the assumption of risk. The jester, if he errs, might get beheaded by the king. He goes right up to that line and, consequently, has the audience in rapt attention.

Oliver and Noah risk nothing: they are bland propaganda for the regime.

This is also the reason they hate Joe Rogan. Rogan is rich and famous, but he has a vox populi-style appeal and chooses to hang out with déclassé lunatics like Alex Jones. He's constantly pushing the boundaries of elite opinion, assuming real risks. And he's funny.
