I dont think most liberal people are even trying to adamantly defend it, a lot of us had never even heard of it before conservatives started losing their minds about it

Very true. CRT is just another bogeyman for the right.

But the left is kind of at a disadvantage here, imo. The right doesn't need to read CRT to know they hate it. It's enough for them to know that CRT advances the rights of Black folks, so no reading is necessary.

The left, in order to defend it, needs to actually know what it is! And ain't no one got time to read hundreds of pages of dense critical theory, as if the layperson even has the background knowledge of law and history to fully understand it.

But if the left doesn't defend it, then the right has a free punching bag, and we're all fucking sick and tired of the right beating up innocent Black people and ideas. (Subtle Olympics reference.)
