Junior Bake Off final was "coronation" themed. Ilhām, 10, was asked her opinion of the monarchy, I can't believe they aired her answer, but she gives me hope. (i.imgur.com)

And how are those people getting more and more people on their side? Not teaching history.

Book bannings, going against CRT, stuff like that. Makes it easier in the long run at least

That's besides the point. Your original formulation lets people think that everybody believed that abortion rights were a good thing at some point in history. Which is false.

The christofascists were always salty about their defeat. They waited until they were powerful enough to strike back, using mechanisms that are too complex to detail here.

While education is part of the retaliation against christofascism (and not just history education), Americans will need more than history books to fight back. This is far too simplistic.

Knowing who the enemy is - and there are identifiable enemies in this case - is crucial. And I think the saying you mentioned in your first comment is a bit of a thought-terminating cliché.

It sounds great, but it's kinda garbage.
