In 2009 the TEA Party (Taxed Enough Already) rose organically in response to Obama and Democrats’ fiscal abuses and power grabs. Ordinary folks, previously paying little to no attention, turned in and tuned up. The midterms were a disaster for Democrats. More than a decade later, history is repeating itself.
When asked about debates over critical race theory taking place at school board meetings in Northern Virginia, former Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe, a Democrat, earlier this month called it a “right-wing conspiracy” made up by Republicans.
On Sunday, NBC’s “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd said that resistance to critical race theory was “manufactured,” and one of his guests, Cornell Belcher, a Democratic Party strategist, said it was nothing more than a “tool … in the racial tribal bogeyman’s toolbox,” concocted for electoral purposes.
Telling previously apolitical parents who are being shut down or stonewalled by teachers and administrations that this experience is some right-wing conspiracy is brilliant.
For us!
It’s an obvious lie that puts paid to the idea of a left-wing superiority complex.
It reinforces a long advertised belief that Democrats running the education industrial complex are not only trying to separate children from their parents but that the indoctrination camp imagery is accurate.
Many of these folks have been disenfranchised by members of their own party on a wide range of issues, not just education or Critical Race Theory.
Trying to shut down simple questions, the dismissiveness fuels the organic rebellion against progressive overreach.
So please, Terry, Cornell, keep up the good work.
Nothing pisses people off more than being shut down and treated like trash by their own so-called public servants only to hear their political masters tell them it’s just some made-up conspiracy.
You are teaching other people’s children to hate themselves, their parents, their country.
That’s not going to end well for the LEft, and I couldn’t;t be happier about it.
