The worst thing about Ron DeSantis is also the most boring thing — he hates poor people and won’t support tiny increases in state spending to help them get health insurance. https://t.co/bfGtM4S9cc https://t.co/BwRwB2JA4R — PolitiTweet.org

I continue to find “there was a ton of rioting back when Trump was president, but he positioned himself against it symbolically” to be a very strange argument for bringing him back into office. I do get it, psychologically, but it’s very hard to spell out what the idea is. — PolitiTweet.org

Several shops right in my neighborhood had their windows smashed and got looted back during the Trump administration. It was pretty bad, and some people unfortunately downplayed the badness. The good news is that was two years ago and they’re fixed up now. https://t.co/EUF0CRRS7v — PolitiTweet.org

Guy who’s so fired-up about the safety of the drinking water in Flint that he’s still tweeting about it in 2022, but not fired-up enough to actually ready anything about it or be aware that the problem was fixed several years ago. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump is *bad at his job* (sloppy, crass, alienating, personally corrupt) in a bunch of ways that are distinctive and absolutely worth talking about but in a big picture sense there are a lot of continuities which is why conservatives love him — they’re just wrong about things. — PolitiTweet.org

My problem with the whole “MAGA Republicans” thing is Obama/Trump crossover voters matter a lot — why emphasize discontinuity rather than continuous plutocracy? https://t.co/bfGtM4S9cc https://t.co/cqpUxkWMQH — PolitiTweet.org

I hate to be serious, but I really think it’s ill-advised to leak stuff relating to the Trump documents investigation. Like it’s fun and all, but the public interest in better served by the book. I promise back to irony and jokes after this. — PolitiTweet.org

I love this photo because it invokes primal reactions in people.

According to @JoHenrich, stigmatization of cousin marriage beyond what’s strictly medically necessary was key to combatting amoral familism as a social norm and thus to the emergence of the rule of law and other good things. — PolitiTweet.org

@MattZeitlin @Ed_Realist Well and even so we got back in person in February 2021 when the DC charters will still closed and when most Black DCPS students voluntarily stayed virtual. My friends who moved west “for the good schools” had trouble getting in-person spots but at diverse Garrison it was easy. — PolitiTweet.org
