When his critics like to attack Christopher Rufo, they always bring up one of his old tweets. We don't have it at hand, but Rufo had said that conservatives needed to make critical race theory a dirty word. Make it toxic. (Sort of like the liberals are doing now with "parental rights"). Rufo did it … he made "CRT" a household name and not a friendly one. Parents turned up to school board meetings like domestic terrorists to demand that schools excise CRT from their curriculum.
So here's Rufo again, saying the quiet part out loud and not caring. We'd only disagree that conservatives have to "create" an association among Hamas, Black Lives Matter, the Democratic Socialists of America, and academic "decolonizers." It's already there. Black Lives Matter Chicago posted a meme of a Palestinian terrorist paragliding into Israel with the words, "We Stand With Palestine."
Marxism. If you want the line that runs through BLM, decolonization, and the DSA, it's Marxism. Oppressor vs. the oppressed.
Conservatives need to create a strong association between Hamas, BLM, DSA, and academic “decolonization” in the public mind. Connect the dots, then attack, delegitimize, and discredit. Make the center-left disavow them. Make them political untouchables.

There already is a strong association between Hamas, BLM, DSA, and academic “decolonization” so there’s no need to “create” one, just to bring attention to it. Assuming that’s what you meant, but I’m nitpicking.

Yes, create one “in the public mind.” It already exists in reality, but we need to bring it to public consciousness.

Yes, they are all intimately intertwined. Throw in "land acknowledgements" as well. This practice is essentially saying, "I acknowledge my colonizer status and therefore deserve to be slaughtered."

"Fringify the fringe". Force them to double down. We know who they are, so introduce them to the rest of the world.

We're shocked and surprised to hear NBC News' Ben Collins weigh in:
Same playbook, new acronyms. Wonder if the mainstream press will fall for it again? pic.twitter.com/iySS5l6CLn

You are the mainstream press, dumbass. Tell us where Rufo's wrong.
