    Not saying Biden has done nothing, but if you haven’t noticed yet, the GOP standard play is to take the most lukewarm democrat positions, pretend it’s the end of western civilization, and then promise things will be fixed once he’s elected.

    Ie, CRT, Wokeness, DEI, whatever “monster of the week” they pick as an enemy. They always swap it around.

      Right wing outrage farmers have been doing exactly that for my enture life.

      D&D was the biggest evil ever, back in my teenage years.

      And before that it was the Satanic Panic.

      There’s always something they want us to be scared of.

      Because getting people riled up in culture wars gets their mind off of real issues. It’s the ol street magician trick of getting people to look at their right hand while the left hand is stealing your watch.

      CRT

      The liberals think they can push cathode ray tubes on the rest of us?? I’m fine with them using sinful processing components in their own homes, but this would be violating my rights as an american!
