CRT isn’t a fake enemy. It is a fake topic. It has no value, to anyone. The fight is over whether it anything at all. Intellec, it is not possible to make a case for the subject to exist as there is no point. If someone wants to study it for some reason they are free to. But it isn’t important. It isn’t math, spelling, physics, astronomy, or even a meaningful element of history. It is contrived. When if 0.01% of black people want to spend their lives on a pointless topic you can’t do anything with, that’s fine. But we have serious problems and CRT isn’t close to being one of them. Why invest time and money in such a silly topic? How about we dump this stupid idea and beef up STEM or some other useful topic? If you want to limit it to history, go with western civilization or a true history of the world. Or if you really want to make a difference , how about returning to significant courses on civics and economics? CRT is a joke.

I think conservatives must be like the ex-wife of a friend of mine. She was into drama, and sought it out. A hurricane was headed for the Texas coast. We were in Austin, 200 miles from the coast, but she was in a panic. We tried to calm her down, to no avail. Nothing happened.

>> Conservatives haven’t had a lot of high-profile, practical victories lately, ways they can show their supporters that their side is winning important battles. Democrats took the White House and control of Congress, Obamacare is remains in place, same-sex marriage is legal, and those on the right fear they’re losing every cultural conflict. This is ridiculous. No one is whining about same sex marriage. We know Obamacare, disaster that it is, was not going anywhere the day McCain killed it. It is fine to hope. But Conservative successes have outpaced Liberal successes by a very wide margin. There is no success in having blocked Trump's agenda. Today, we are facing massive inflation because of the insane Biden agenda. That, alone, will likely take down our economy. At the end of the day you don't get credit for standing in the way of progress when half the people in the country support the progress. You are just standing in the way. In the end, these things are going to get done. Meanwhile, Republicans are trying to work with the idiots to try to do productive things. If you find a reason to hate in that, no one can help but you
