The shift in American high school culture from majorities that tolerated persecution of gays toward majorities publicly affirming support for gays is such a happy story for anyone old enough to remember the bad old days. — PolitiTweet.org

I asked readers what they have learned from people who don't share their politics. Here are there answers: https://t.co/62o7D5bXBL — PolitiTweet.org

@MarcBodnick @mattyglesias @ATabarrok Marc, I was writing about higher ed long before those red state bills; and I have written two articles specifically against those bills. Matt and Freddie, likewise, haven't only focused on higher ed. So who is this directed at, exactly? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
In Dec, I posted this if/then statement, which many mistakenly took as a prediction. Alas, it turns out that NZ, HK, & other previously Covid-zero places were unable to suppress Omicron. Shouldn't that change something about the view of the people castigating me in the responses? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
If Omicron now takes off in New Zealand that should decisively end all debate about whether anyone could have "done… https://t.co/u1jMQSdzBG

@mattyglesias @ATabarrok But yes, there are important challenges to what Freddie described coming from multiple directions, and I don't think people should focus exclusively on the left or the right because they think they've identified the side that is worse. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@mattyglesias @ATabarrok It certainly implicates the entire political spectrum. The degree to which it implicates the left turns partly on whether the left wields disproportionate influence in any important discursive spaces of that sort. And if you care about higher ed the answer is yes. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
Freddie: democracy requires "not just legal protection of the right to express oneself but a culture of open exchange, a shared social understanding that the only way to solve myriad problems w their irreducible complexity is through an actually-existing free discursive space." — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@OuakamA @Eugene_Scott Your characterizations are absurd. I'll skip past the absurdity of the first claim and focus on the latter. You think the NYT has been silent about the laws in red states that you're alluding to? That's an obvious falsehood. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@Eugene_Scott Their editorial was flawed but they were explicit about not invoking the First Amendment as the basis for the flawed claim in the first paragraph — PolitiTweet.org

@adamdavidson @broccolirobh88 Why wouldn't you be against that even if the problem is the same as before, as I have been? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@IleneJide @MarcBodnick So yes, the GOP *is* a bit worse. Why don't you object to left excesses anyway? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@IleneJide @MarcBodnick Again, I have already stated that I agree they are not equivalent. Unlike you, apparently, that doesn't stop me from objecting to unjust things done by state governments controlled by Democrats or by leftists in general because I don't think *the other side is worse* is an excuse — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@IleneJide @MarcBodnick Can we agree that the left and right both have authoritarianism problems and that the right is a bit worse and that we should object to both anyway? — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@IleneJide @MarcBodnick I said both were problems and you asked for examples and I have them and then you dismissed the Left's problem by engaging in *what about the right being even worse* rhetoric. I wish you'd instead join me in objecting to both. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@IleneJide @MarcBodnick If the Bush and Obama Administrations don't persuade you that the right and left are capable of worrisome authoritarian excesses I think you're blind. I personally think the right has been a bit worse than the left on this, so I wouldn't and didn't assert an equivalence. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@IleneJide @MarcBodnick I used to think people who thought Obama could pose such a threat were ridiculous. Then he ordered the extrajudicial killing of an American citizen and presided over mass warrantless spying on American citizens and persecuted whistleblowers. — PolitiTweet.org

@IleneJide @MarcBodnick That article was from 2016. More recently, I have written against laws passed by GOP legislators in North and South Carolina. How about you, weirdly sanctimonious stranger? — PolitiTweet.org

@IleneJide @MarcBodnick California has zero Republicans in statewide office and Democrats run all of our major cities. If you don't think Democrats are accountable for the vast majority of civil liberties violations we have in California, I don't know what to tell you. — PolitiTweet.org
