Exactly the way the GOP is playing it. "When a pol party has no policies they use culture issues to divide voters." And they use
an even more negative brush in that their main culture war weapons at present are muchly, in themselves, fraudulent beat-ups.

Re CRT:

Conservatives actually love critical race theory -- when they turn the subject to 'oppressed' White people
[...]
"So the gay do not simply want to marry, they want to convert our children into sin," he wrote. "The Jews do not merely want to be left in peace, they actually are plotting world take-over. And the blacks are not actually victims of American power, but beneficiaries of the war against hard-working whites. This is a respectable, more sensible, bigotry, one that does not seek to name-call, preferring instead 'to' change the subject and strawman."
P - The recent debate over CRT is the latest variation of frame-flipping. But conservatives have used similar tactics to thwart the feminist movement and to notch victories in the culture wars on American campuses.

Re cancel culture and woke

Labeling everything as "woke" is becoming as common and disingenuous (as many don't even know what it
means) a tactic for conservatives as Trump's "fake news." Don't like it? It's fake news. Don't like it? It's woke.

Opinion: Democrats cannot simply ignore the GOP’s culture war attacks

By Jennifer Rubin Columnist | Yesterday at 7:45 a.m. EST

Virginia’s election results last week reignited chatter in Democratic circles that Republicans were once again managing to outmaneuver them with ginned-up culture issues and outright lies designed to scare White people. Jonathan Cowan, president of the moderate think tank Third Way and a founder of Shield PAC, has a tough-love message for fellow Democrats: Ignore culture issues at your peril.

When Joe Biden was campaigning for president, he understood this in the face of the MAGA onslaught. “He held firmly to his moderate brand and pushed back on the culture attacks coming from [Donald] Trump,” Cowan recalled. “For example, he declared that he did not support defunding the police as soon as the issue arose.”

But Democrats in Virginia failed to follow Biden’s lead.
