CRT and how the GOP plays the #MachoWimp card

One of most effective paradoxes of today’s #CORPservative GOP is their ability to play the
#MachoWimp card. For decades they’ve stridently demanded that we have no right to hurt their feelings with the truth.

Their clamoring over Critical Race Theory, something NOT TAUGHT anywhere but law school, provides the perfect example of this tactic. They aggressively rail about hurting the feelings of their poor children, making them feel bad about their Southern white heritage. Sorry #NeroCons, but your protestations can’t apply to teens and pre-teens.

But it sure feels good to play the victim when it can’t possibly apply, right?

In your comments, please share your recollections of other examples of the right wing’s effective use of the #MachoWimp ploy.
