How much does it matter? How much context do we need?


That cake doesn’t need much context - if it’s real, which it might not be, it’s a great example of “grooming”.

Even if it’s not real, does anyone doubt that we could find examples of things like this in this great big country of ours? The real context we need is that we can find examples in this country of literally any kind of nutjobbery. Left, right, apolitical, you name it.

It’s more a problem of extrapolation. Politicos leap on isolated examples (which are easier than ever to find) and extrapolate them as being ever-present, everywhere.

If you really think about it, don’t you think that’s exactly how “CRT”, which politically, is just a vaguely defined scapegoat to incite grievances for political gain, became such a political hot button?
