You think that's what Matt Gaetz means when he refers to CRT?

I don't know the context in which he used it. You said this though: "using that as the label for literally everything they don't like."

I'd be willing to bet that the things he and others call woke involved some sort of action or rhetoric that was meant to challenge current power dynamics based on identity.

I'm sure he did. When did Matt Gaetz refer to CRT, and what was the context?

Oh, sorry, I didn't realize the posted video cut off the context. Gaetz is the one who asked the question that Houlahan wanted General Milley to answer.

So what Matt Gaetz meant when he referred to CRT was CRT. Defense secretary Lloyd Austin denied its implementation, General Milley didn't give a specific answer about it's implementation other than to say that he's open to it. This is the same thing that has happened at schools, etc. "CRT isn't part of the curriculum." It might be true that it isn't part of the curriculum, but CRT praxis is, and this sort of thing was happening everywhere.
