As a liberal myself, im kinda annoyed by the flippant and dismissive responses of liberals when presented with CRT criticism from right leaning types.

Usually because the criticism of CRT doesn't apply to CRT in the first place, so of course it's going to be dismissed because it's built on a false premise.

Propping up a false representation and then immediately denouncing it is referred to as Strawmanning. It's a pretty common deflection technique also used to denounce things like feminism or the concept of privilege. At some point, it's just willful ignorance. Can one deliberately misconstrue CRT and use this to push anti-CRT sentiment? Absolutely. Is this what Fox News et al are doing? Also yes.
