Really hope this gets into immortality and hyperloops — PolitiTweet.org

And now Reince is being drowned out by "lock her up!" chants. What a perfect metaphor: The standard noise drowned out by dangerous extremism — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

This Reince speech feels stunningly out of touch with its nominee. Just GOP cliche after GOP cliche that don't fit a Trump-led party. — PolitiTweet.org

Standing applause and chants for Joe Arpaio. I already have a headache. — PolitiTweet.org

@fordm in their defense, it was a pretty good cover — PolitiTweet.org

The online radical right is partying at the RNC — because they think they’ve won https://t.co/uuytyx8cMn — PolitiTweet.org

Weird that Obama isn't a choice. He's the most popular major politician in America today. https://t.co/4rwnDWY98q — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@BenjySarlin Yes, precisely. It's very hard in any advanced democracy to gin up enthusiasm for immigration restrictionism without nativism. — PolitiTweet.org

The alt-right, and Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

All political ideals degrade when taken out of the realm of theory into practice. I wonder if the alt-right is applied paleoconservatism. — PolitiTweet.org

Also be sure to read @mattyglesias's take on the rest of Trump's horrible interview https://t.co/PE5rplifwZ — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@CasMudde I address that in the piece. It's the uncertainty in Trump's comments about Article V that make them uniquely dangerous. — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

7) I expand on these thoughts in the piece here https://t.co/zveeZs7dNn Short version? Trump is an incredibly dangerous presidential nominee — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

6) The odds of nuclear war are still very low. But they just became a bit higher. Given the stakes of such a war, panic is appropriate. — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

5) The fact that Trump could plausibly win — that, say, @FiveThirtyEight's forecast gives him a 35 percent chance — is now legit terrifying — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

4) So yes, in this case alarmism is appropriate. Nuclear war is not a game, not something you fuck around with. — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

3) Never has a serious presidential candidate so blatantly threatened the collapse of the global order that *makes* alarmism incorrect. — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

2) But sometimes things are genuinely terrifying. That is the case with Trump's NATO comments. — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

1) Anyone who knows my work knows that I detest alarmism. I frequently write about how the world is getting better, terrorism not that scary — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

NATO is now the biggest issue in the election, bar none. No other issue has literal nuclear war as their stakes https://t.co/zveeZs7dNn — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@GregDjerejian we can debate that, but it's too late now. path dependency means we're stuck. — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

Donald Trump’s NATO comments are the scariest thing he’s said https://t.co/TmGNiczPzX — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

I have no idea how to convey the enormity of Trump's NATO comments to readers. They literally make World War III more likely. — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

Yes. Even if Trump loses, it does serious damage to one of the world's most important institutions https://t.co/3SX1T8pjQ6 — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

Everybody seems to have skipped right over Gingrich's speech, but it was terrifyingly bonkers https://t.co/62NqBwlQSe — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

The Pence speech is going over pretty well, but it'll completely overshadowed by the Cruz thing. — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

This is almost too ludicrous for words https://t.co/ABdhoCjMu6 — PolitiTweet.org

The Republican delegates are revolting against a sitting Senator. This is incredible. — PolitiTweet.org
