I'm not actually taking a stand for or against, just emphasizing that the right didn't make this stuff up. It sounds like you agree with me on that—this is a very real subject that people really do feel is important.
No, that people on the Left care about these issues is not the core of your comment. The person you replied to was saying there are issues that most voters would see as frivolous, but the right does a good job of hammering the left on so it seems like it's all they care about. These are issues like trans athletes in sports. Most people don't give a shit, including a lot of trans people, as keeping these issues in the news cycle just brings them unwanted hostility and attention.
But you countered with people wanting to teach about the effects of slavery. That doesn't seem frivolous at all, especially to non-white people. It doesn't fit with the other examples, as it's hard to imagine removing slavery from precedented curriculum being anything but a racist attempt to slowly erase the history of a voting bloc that has historically undermined the Right. The fact that they make CRT, again, a dirty word, is a testament to the power of Fox News.
Why you are not taking a stand for or against that is beyond me. It's patently evil work by the right
The best lies contain enough truth to seem credible.
I could run a newspaper that only reported crimes committed by people named Steve. Even if it was 100% true, it would give the impression that people named Steve are a threat. I know this is silly, but imagine a racial/ethnic/religious group instead. One can lie by what is not reported as much as by what is reported. Here is an example.
Remember the Clinton email scandal? She deleted 30K emails that she said were person, not job-related. I can understand why people who despise her think there must be terrible secrets in there. That is the truth part. Some news organizations and politicians pushed this story daily for years and dragged into congress to repeat testimony about it demanded that this was a terrible crime and she should be locked up. But those same people didn't say a peep when it was found out that the Bush WH had routed 22M emails through the RNC email servers using non-.gov addresses as a means of avoiding the legal requirement to retain records.

I would be willing to bet my life savings that Fox et al reported on the Clinton email story at least 100x as much as on the Bush story. I'd be willing to bet the same amount of money that the average Fox viewer has no recollection of the Bush story because they probably never heard it or it was too fleeting. I'd be willing to be a large amount of money that people who watched CNN/ABC/CBS/NBC or read the WaPo or NYT also have far less awareness of the Bush email scandal.
