I would argue that "anti-American" is even more nebulous of a term than CRT, and often means little more than "thing I don't like." At the very least, it doesn't understand or wants to intentionally blur the line between criticizing America in its current state or how it was founded and wanting the country to fail or hating it and its citizens. The idea that racism permeates almost every facet of American society is not necessarily an idea that I agree with, but I don't think that it is inherently "anti-American", in that not everyone who accepts CRT wants this country to fail or hates Americans. Perhaps some do, but at its core, its purpose is reform. Now, I don't agree that every institution in this country has the purpose of empowering white people. I don't agree with quite a few of the reforms that proponents of CRT posit. However, the effort to write off almost any reform as anti-American is incredibly damaging, and naturally plenty of politicians who benefit off of the status quo are more than happy to parrot and give lots of air time to this talking point.
