I think a lot of people are more interesting in helping the half of the country that supported Trump and QAnon walk itself back from the crazy positions they've talked themselves into so we can sit back down at the table and get through dinner.

It's not just the right that has walked itself into crazy positions. The country is in need of some serious regression to the mean on both sides.

"Both sides" nonsense. Show me anything from the left that begins to approach believing that there's a secret cabal of baby-eating satan worshippers running a pedophile ring from the basement of a pizza joint.

Critical Race Theory.

Critical Race Theory has its problems but it's not an elaborate conspiracy theory clutching at random tidbits of news and numerology and obscure messageboard posting and constructing a massive, world-ending conspiracy out of them.

I mean, it's a cute comparison if you squint, but there's far less craziness to describing the reality of racism than describing all of the political class as baby-eating vampires.

The only place I've ever heard of CRT is from Trump and from Fox News. In the rest of America, we're trying to teach people to be sensitive to their unconscious racial biases, and to be aware of how race affects people's opportunities. This simple and rational thinking was seized upon by the far right as an example of hating whites.

With all due respect, I'm not a Trump supporter but I am the most conservative person in my family, and I'm not the one who was talking about guillotining people I don't like at the dinner table last year.

I would prefer the left wing people in my family not be enabled to shift the blame for all their shitty behavior the last 4 years onto Trump thanks.
