In case you missed it, I've added an update to my earlier story on Christopher Rufo and how he wants the public to connect the dots between Hamas, Black Lives Matter, the Democratic Socialists of America, and the "decolonizers" in the university system. NBC News' Ben Collins had to add his two cents to Rufo's call to "connect the dots, then attack, delegitimize, and discredit. Make the center-left disavow them. Make them political untouchables."
Same playbook, new acronyms. Wonder if the mainstream press will fall for it again? pic.twitter.com/iySS5l6CLn

It's a good playbook and not unlike the mainstream media, which uses language like "Don't Say Gay" in its headlines to refer to the Parental Rights in Education law. And as I've said all the time, they're doing their best to discredit "parents' rights" movements — those are far-right, white supremacist fascists who want to destroy public education.
Washington Post columnist Karen Attiah caught Rufo's tweets as well and says he's layout out the playbook. Yes, he is. Explicitly. And hopefully, he'll be as effective with this as he was with critical race theory and academic queer theory.
It’s already happening. And you’re falling right into the trap.

Well you guys fell on the trap because the association is very clear now.

You made that association, not him.

Now you get to live with it.
Explain the “playbook”?

What you are actually mad about is that @realchrisrufo exposed the radical agenda far left academics had successfully pushed onto corporations, schools, and governmental institutions. Sorry, but your pro-racist, sexist, and communist agenda is a non-starter and we aren’t going…

What you are actually mad about is that @realchrisrufo exposed the radical agenda far-left academics had successfully pushed onto corporations, schools, and governmental institutions. Sorry, but your pro-racist, sexist, and communist agenda is a non-starter and we aren’t going to stop opposing the evil of the ideas you peddle.
They're mad because it's their playbook. And now it's being used against them.
