So Venezuela went socialist BEFORE Trump became our President, but it's HIS fault they are a socialist dumpster fire...
Okay.
Are re-education camps too far off?

Okay.
I'm a conservative who doesn't care what your sleeping arrangements are. If you stay out of my bedroom, I'll stay out of yours. Deal?
And, I respect you for that. Unfortunately, the conservative party does care. As is evidenced in their recent party platforms and actions.

America’s wealthiest county surrenders to Critical Race Theory twaddle
PHILIP GIRALDI • OCTOBER 27, 2020
All of that has been bad enough, but the clincher is what is going on with the Loudoun County Public Schools (LCPS). The school board has spent $422,500 on a consultant to apply Critical Race Theory (CRT) to a new program of instruction that will be mandatory for all employees and will serve as the framework for teaching the students. When schools eventually reopen, all kindergarteners, for example, will be taught “social justice” in a course designed by the controversial Southern Poverty Law Center and “diversity training” will be integrated in all other grade levels.
Critical Race Theory has been fairly criticized as it pretends to be an antidote to systemic racism but is itself racist in nature as it opposes a race neutral system that equally benefits everyone. It proposes that all of America’s governmental bodies and infrastructures are racist and supportive of “white supremacy” and must be deconstructed. It requires everything to be examined through a value system determined by identity politics and race and it views both whites and their institutions as hopelessly corrupted, if not evil.
The principal concern currently is that the school board, which is revising its Personal Conduct Policy 7560 “Professional Conduct” for staff, is basically treating the First Amendment right to free speech as inapplicable when it comes to challenging certain policies involving the school system arguing that the Bill of Rights itself is just a tool in support of white supremacy, which is what CRT teaches. The Personal Conduct draft only addresses the First Amendment briefly, noting that the right “may be outweighed” by LCPS interest in “promoting internal…and external community harmony and peace” through “directives, including protected class equity, racial equity, and the goal to root out systemic racism.”
Section B3 of the draft revised policy requires total commitment to the forthcoming “equity” policies and it threatens punishment to include firing if anyone within the system dares to express a criticism. The full text cites “Any comments or actions that are not in alignment with the school division’s commitment to action-oriented equity policies, and which impact an individual’s abilities to perform their job responsibilities or create a breach in the trust bestowed upon them as an employee of the school division. This includes on-campus and off-campus speech, social media posts, and any other electronic or telephonic communications.”

Well, that's certainly in line with their redefining of terms and all of the rhetorical gamesmanship they play. They've convinced formerly bright people that their ideas are sacrosanct and beyond reproach. Keep the terms and definitions changing often enough so that you can cry foul when John Q. can't keep up with all of the switcherooing.
"Silence is violence!
But it's also complicity!
Criticism is violence! You're making Black Bodies unsafe!
You need to use your white voices to speak up!
But quit acting like the Great White Savior!
Basically, when we say 'jump!' you need to say, 'How high, priestess?'
Do The Work. 'What's the work,' you say?
It's whatever 'we' say it is. Now get to it."
