I framed the logic based on the scenario we were discussing, and you only saw the ifs because you don't actually use logic. To make it worse, you don't even understand the framework of the social justice movement. You're a sucker, like most people who key in on one or two words without understanding the depth of the issue.

CRT, for all intents and purposes, says you are a racist unless you tear down the structure that was built by racists, namely American capitalism, judicial prudence, and the constitution. It is to be replaced by a system that creates EQUITY, not EQUALITY. What system promises to do that? Oh that's right, Marxism. It's not a coincidence that this theory came from a branch of Marxist philosophy and that many of the people peddling this nonsense are admitted Marxists, but I digress. The point is that the end goal of this type of teaching, whether you call it CRT, or Marxism, or Social Justice, or Anti-Racism, is to replace our current government. It doesn't make a difference what you call it, because it's just an oppressor vs. the oppressed narrative. It just so happens that Americans actually care about racism, so this is the most successful cudgel.

Progressives believe that only replacing our government will solve the problem. Which, sure, IF replacing our government could solve those problems, I'd be open to it, but it WON'T. They don't have a solution for those problems, which is why they NEVER talk about solutions. They just want power, which is also a core component of the philosophies that undergird this movement, but again you don't know any better. They believe that once they have power, those problems will go away, which I shouldn't have to tell you is a lie.

When you advocate on behalf of people pushing this nonsense, you are advocating for the overthrow of the structure of the American government, whether you realize it or not. Just because you don't think that's true doesn't make it any less so. So let's go back to logic.

IF one side supports the idea that you can only be anti-oppressor (insert cause here) if you support the overthrow of the American way of life which means voting for progressives who will change our system, then you must reject that side if you think America has a good structure in place. Your ignorance is what leads you to think CRT is something different... you and everyone else that thinks this is just about eradicating racism. It's not. It's a tool. It creates believers while simultaneously silencing its critics. I wish you were as educated and open minded as you want to be.

The fallacy you keep glossing over is your idea that either side is homogenous.
Neither side is homogenous.
If I told you I was a Democrat, and then told you that I favor the legalization of bestiality, would you then conclude that all Democrats are goat lovers?
Or would you conclude that I don't speak for that party and decide to rely on what the candidates and officials of that party say instead?
