Generational parity between Boomers and young millennials/Gen Z would now require the former to tithe 10 percent of their net worth to whatever green energy investments Scott Alexander dubs most worthy as payback for pandemic restrictions on the young that benefitted the old. — PolitiTweet.org

One reason for the rise in J school interest is the fact that there are so many fewer slots at local newspapers where one can apprentice and learn. They're often hollowed out husks where the editors who once would've mentored took buyouts or PR jobs 10 years ago. — PolitiTweet.org

The Trump coalition relied on what Karen Stenner dubs The Authoritarian Dynamic to win. What works to consolidate support for such a coalition is different from what works to consolidate support for a more diverse coalition w/ a difference tolerating not difference fearing pitch — PolitiTweet.org

@mattyglesias Would you agree that Trump wasn't taken seriously enough and that the general atmosphere of incredulous mockery exacerbated that? I wouldn't go quite so far as your formulation... but if I had to run it again I would advise less mockery versus other strategies — PolitiTweet.org

@skidoosh10 Yeah, the contest was based on electoral votes, not the popular vote, which Clinton in fact won. Perhaps more time on strategy versus mocking "deplorables" would've born fruit! — PolitiTweet.org

That's because journalism doesn't have a professional cartel that requires a degree as a price of admission, conveniently inflating the salaries of the rent-seekers in the process. Absent that, there would be e.g. a Matt Yglesias or Ross Douthat of law in most firms. — PolitiTweet.org

In 2016, mocking Trump rather than taking him seriously as someone who could win was a rather catastrophic mistake for the media, the Clintons, and much of the Democratic Party. If you could do 2016 over again would you try that same posture or change it up? — PolitiTweet.org

Yes. This has shaped my views a out mockery and politics. I think that if you fight on the terrain of mockery you advantage rather than disadvantage Trump types, because they're very good at mockery, and abysmal at reason, honor, compassion, truthfulness, persuasion, etc. — PolitiTweet.org
