"The problem with Trump and his supporters is that they want to 'own' the anti-critical theory issue all to themselves, and worse, to use it to hurt Democrats."

And the problem with the Dems is that they are letting that happen. It would be nice just once to see some politicians take a principled stand.

The GOP owns the CRT issue because the Dems have ceded it to them. Trump can hardly be faulted for enjoying the gift.

The Republicans are not being hypocritical here; even conservative Never-Trumpers know that CRT is dangerous, totalitarian bullshit.

Dems are as much afraid of the loony Left as Republicans are of MAGA morons. I believe Trump presents a more clear and present danger to the republic, so I'm voting for Biden. But wouldn't it be nice to be able to afford to vote for someone who stood for something?
