@chrislhayes @alexwagner I don't think they are invented conflicts either, and I wish we talked more about "should be teach x" than "is x CRT." IMHO, a Democrat could win w/ the posture, *we need to teach the truth about all the ugliest parts of history, but this Robin DiAngelo stuff is nonsense* — PolitiTweet.org

@chrislhayes @alexwagner Okay. I love Alex, but missed that one interview. Has Jackson been a subject of debate that I've missed in Virginia? — PolitiTweet.org

@chrislhayes I'm happy to take the yes side in that debate. But is that the debate? I rather think "is colorblindness white supremacy" is closer to what's actually in dispute — PolitiTweet.org

@willwilkinson @cmkourtu @ARossP relatedly, why liberal rules for immigration and free movement of people is not only a practical and moral good, but a check on tyranny — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@willwilkinson @cmkourtu @ARossP I have what I think is a kind of Madisonian instinct that presumes the state will reliably be hostile to my interests and therefore divides its power with checks and balances and limits its power by retaining some rights for the people. Also why I think ability to exit is vital & — PolitiTweet.org

How would you feel if you heard that a majority of a school board in your county made a closed "Anti-CRT" Facebook group that included a list of local parents deemed insufficiently supportive of Chris Rufo-style activist efforts? That's how lots of parents in Virginia feel. — PolitiTweet.org

As a *flip in perspective* exercise in empathy I invite progressives to think for a moment about this detail from Matt Taibbi's dispatch from Virginia: 1/x https://t.co/uEFnqq1Fp8 — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@willwilkinson @cmkourtu @ARossP It could be that we are way better off living in states, but in trade for big goods like *monopoly on force* and *way to coordinate doing important stuff* we put up with a constant stream of negatives that are more numerous but less important, even in aggregate — PolitiTweet.org

@willwilkinson @ARossP I'd reject the.claim, phrased that way, but it isn't how I understood the original. — PolitiTweet.org

@MonicaBaumann But they reelected Obama, and not everyone in the party talked like he did. — PolitiTweet.org

@evanmarckatz Probably lots of people stopping before they get enough cardio now — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@willwilkinson @ARossP I think the strongest evidence would be war, the need for and inevitable imperfection of checks and balances, and the information problem that renders the state unable to accurately discern the needs of its citizens, but I'm mulling, not coming down definitively on that side. — PolitiTweet.org

Here's how to talk about race in America from most to least popular: like Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton. — PolitiTweet.org

@LawyerGeoff The ongoing popularity of Michael Jackson suggests most people can, but if you personally can't and don't listen I have no objection to that. — PolitiTweet.org

@MonicaBaumann You're right that Obama did some of this well, but as to down ballot losses, that's partly a function of how massively Obama and Dems won the the GOP lost in 2008. — PolitiTweet.org

The podcast interviews about this (e.g. @GlennLoury @sullydish @seanilling) have been great. Very much looking forward to reading it. — PolitiTweet.org

I am quite stunned to share that WOKE RACISM just made #10 on the NYT best sellers list.

@originalspin I have not urged anyone to vote GOP in a general election. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@originalspin I don't know what unsavable means, but whatever it means, I will continue to have a preference in GOP primaries where one candidate strikes me as more dangerous than another, and Trump strikes me as clearly more dangerous than every realistic alternative save Tucker Carlson — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@originalspin My argument is that a DeSantis primary victory is better than a Trump primary victory, not that a DeSantis primary victory will make the GOP a sensible political party. — PolitiTweet.org
Conor Friedersdorf @conor64
@originalspin My piece argues for supporting DeSantis against Trump, not supporting him in an alternative primary where Trump doesn't run. After either primary, folks who want to vote third party or vote Democratic should. Not mutually exclusive. — PolitiTweet.org

There is an extremely easy answer that the vast majority of people practice regularly with great success: distinguish between the art and the artist and guiltlessly enjoy the music. https://t.co/YyK1fs5Pj0 — PolitiTweet.org

@originalspin I don't know what it would mean to conclude that the GOP is "past saving" because regardless of whether it is "past saving," whatever that means, it will keep fielding candidates and winning elections. — PolitiTweet.org
