One challenge for Democrats is the degree to which elite news media outlets are also gaslighting readers about issues like CRT. The Washington Post has decided its job is to insert truth bombs into its reporting because its apparently incredibly stupid readers can’t be trusted with information. So WaPo is constantly telling readers that, eg, CRT isn’t actually being taught in schools when it reports on parents or R politicians making an issue of it. That will keep redounding back onto Democrats.
The "there's no CRT in schools" discourse really highlights a tendency for pedantry among progressives. It's mostly not malice. It's literally that they want to be the smartest kid in class: "Oh, you don't know the difference between Neomarxism and Foucault metatextual theory? You fucking rube." Even though most progressives don't actually know the fine details of what they're saying either. They just know that that's the "right answer."
