The 600 Pound Gorilla In America- CWRD

CRT brought down many Dems during this election cycle.

I'm wondering how many Americans are frightened by the prospect of CWRD?

What the hell is CWRD??

Critical White Religious Dominance'

It sure scares the crap out of me.

There will always be many who need to live in a pretend world where their god(s) are on their side. That magical thinking comes at a cost: We have to relinquish normal cause-and-effect thinking to keep believing in our fairy tales. That's all the opening the gqp needs.
