It’s profoundly upsetting that critical race theory, which has valid things to say, was always doomed to become a conservative bogeyman. I honestly feel that it lets individuals off the hook; how can anyone who’s trying to be at least a semi decent person be blamed for stuff way bigger and older than they are being fucked up? And I feel like greater equality seriously pays off for *white* people, just not our ruling classes.

But a challenge to worldview is always going to be a hard sell, incredibly difficult when that worldview is the conservative belief that they’re constantly under attack, and basically impossible when facing that worldview, legit bigotry, *and* intentional manipulation. The same right wing politicians and media puppets sold upper middle class people that any tax increase will hit *them*, and next to that “you’ll be blamed for shit which is not your fault” is easy.
