Very effective last year, why not bring it up against Democrats this year?

Because you can only run so long on an issue that doesn't exist.

Seems like policing children's genitals and repeating "the border" have taken priority

I saw a very weird ad - I think during the MLB playoffs - that was a fake pro-Patty Murray spot "thanking" her for her support of CRT and other right-wing boogeymen. It was very odd, but I only saw it the once and there's been no shortage of other anti-Murray ads here.

Sounds like more "Citizens for Sanity" nonsense

Because that kind of nonsensical culture war issue really only works when the economy is fine.

Mom: "Jimmy, are you learning about this critical race theory in school???"
Jimmy: "What the hell is that?"

Impossible culture war to sustain.

CRT attacks feel vaguely racist to voters. The GOP knows the trans issue is more potent

It was. You just might not have been paying attention.

This issue is frustrating to try the left because it was (mostly) never taught in an official capacity. The right has used it more broadly to mean schools teaching leftist excesses. One underrated reason why it has disappeared, along with covid restrictions, is that Youngkin successfully won on those two issues so democrats have smartly disassociated from them because they are clear losers.

CRT was a summer 2021 culture war issue that really didn’t carry over into the new year. CRT was something that had no proof of existing in the first place, and wasn’t a meaningful issue whatsoever once gas prices started increasing.

We also gotta figure out where Jimmy is getting this language from.  He's four.
