Hello folks! For today's stream we'll be talking about some stuff in the news, some recent Trump news, conservative reactions to Juneteenth being a federal holiday, and conservative backlash against the made up "Critical Race Theory" paranoia. Plus we color some funny monsters.
What I really like is that not one conservative political commenter that I've seen over the last few weeks has any idea what "Critical Race Theory" even is. To be honest neither did I until all this shit started - because it's not something they teach you in schools, not grade school, not high school, not even college. It's something you study in law school. They took an obscure topic that nobody's ever heard of an manufactured this phony-baloney crisis that has "concerned parents" and other assorted right wingers hopping mad in the streets - and every single one of them has no idea what they're even mad about. You really have to admire the conservative bullshit machine sometimes, they really know how to manipulate their people.
The lesson for us is the people at the top of the conservative misinformation apparatus are extremely good at what they do, that is scaring their people and driving them into hysterics. It makes it all the more important for those of us who have the ability to push back. Use the same social media tactics they do. Push back and spread the truth, in every way that you can, because the fate of the country really does depend on it.
