The movie Lincoln (2012) got caught up in a vortex of Obama Discourse but it’s a good exploration of this point — the Union had the upper hand militarily but the war was brutal and there was pressure for compromise that Lincoln resisted. He was pragmatic but fixed on a goal. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
He’s defending the unconditional surrender policy and the push for the 13th Amendment against people who think he should compromise. Part of that defense is denying that his approach is motivated by malice or thirst for vengeance. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
I think it’s awfully eccentric to read this as a message of reconciliation; what Lincoln is saying is that damage inflicted by Union arms on the South reflects the judgment of a righteous God rather than ill-will on the part of him personally or the northern public. https://t.co/FraJLHZPGL — PolitiTweet.org

Classical liberals were pessimistic about economic growth (Jevons favored deindustrialization to preserve a fixed stock of coal) while Marx & Engels were supply side progressives. https://t.co/XEqxVQz8ZG — PolitiTweet.org

@Neoavatara Here’s what I’m saying: In California, housing is a big problem and the governor is doing things to address the problem. In Florida, lack of Medicaid coverage is a big problem and the governor is not doing things to address the problem. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
The point is whether you want to call this “semi-fascist” or not, it’s worth connecting all this stuff back to classic political issues — the idea is to curb abortion rights, take health care away, etc https://t.co/bfGtM4S9cc — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
By the same token I don’t know exactly why, as a House member, he repeatedly voted for sweeping cuts in Medicaid that would leave the program stingier than it was pre-Obama. I’d encourage him to talk more about this and explain it to people. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Correct this was unfair and mean of me. I think DeSantis’ decision to deny health insurance to over a million Floridians is morally scandalous but I have no idea what his subjective attitude toward the people he is denying insurance to is. — PolitiTweet.org

RDS fans can dunk on the left, they can dunk on Newsom, they can dunk on Fauci, they can dunk on whoever they want. The fact is he could easily help poor Floridians get health insurance but he refuses to do so and it’s indefensible and awful. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
The biggest problem facing low-income Californians by far is decades of bad housing policy. Newsom, to his credit, has signed multiple pieces of deregulatory legislation to try to improve things. By the same token DeSantis should expand Medicaid. — PolitiTweet.org

@StefanFSchubert This really seems like a PR idea — even a very small Technocrat Party could wield constructive influence if it was smart and disciplined in a PR system. Elsewhere it could catastrophically backfire. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
I think Democrats have benefitted from the re-emergence of Classic Partisan Politics — women’s rights, taxing the rich to spend on popular stuff, blah blah blah — relative to some of the newer Trump-era controversies. https://t.co/bfGtM4S9cc https://t.co/63D2h2Qi4h — PolitiTweet.org

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
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
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
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
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
