@JeffreyASachs @conor64 @jbouie Another thing I'd note is that initial video tweet came from an far-right account that used the word "bugmen" and, in a different recent tweet, referred to someone as a "troon." There were some fairly obvious red flags from the get-go! — PolitiTweet.org

This isn't to say they're bad or wrong, btw. "Teenage Anarchist" is a critique of intra-leftist politics that imo feels especially apt for some aspects of contemporary identity discourse — PolitiTweet.org

Apropos of nothing, I'm curious what you all think the best pieces of reactionary music are. The Beatles' "Revolution" and Against Me's "I Was a Teenage Anarchist" come to mind for me — PolitiTweet.org

@JBremerDevt Hey Jennifer, would love to talk to you about the NC maps. Could you send me an email at [email protected]? — PolitiTweet.org

RT @perrybaconjr: Yes. Read this piece. Lots of brilliant people quoted. And lots of smart explanations. — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

The "Youngkin won because CRT" narrative is convenient for everyone. Republicans can say they're winning the culture wars, Dems see it as more evidence of racist backlash, and the media has a tidy narrative that fits anecdotes. But the evidence is thin https://t.co/JI5U2cICP7 — PolitiTweet.org

Once again, the dominant media narrative is not in line with what the best available political science tells us https://t.co/JI5U2cICP7 — PolitiTweet.org

The narrative that Youngkin won because of critical race theory is missing a lot of crucial detail — and may well be wrong https://t.co/71VwMBpZsd — PolitiTweet.org

@RichardHanania @JeffreyASachs I would be interested in reading your rebuttal! It's a thought-provoking topic — PolitiTweet.org

Has anyone else noticed a major uptick in texts from pollsters asking for you to participate in surveys? — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

This is an important point on the substance of the CRT debate and, honestly, something I'm guilty of personally — PolitiTweet.org

@gmukunda @roderickgraham as it happens i'm writing a piece on this right now! — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

Twitter is going to spend the day pretending that campaign messaging is the key determinant of elections, as if the past 40 years of political science on elections didn't happen, and it's going to drive me bananas — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@dhnexon @Bushido61 I agree with this but also think it’s compatible with being annoyed at narratives that ignore well-evidenced trends that likely mattered (like thermostatic public opinion or nationalization of local politics) — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

There is currently no solid evidence that, for example, Youngkin’s CRT message won the race for him. But judging from my Twitter feed, most people on both sides of the aisle are confident that’s what happened. Maddening. — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

It’s incredible to see narratives about VA form in real time based on vibes and basically no evidence — PolitiTweet.org

@notstevenwhite No and it’s a little annoying that people aren’t defaulting to this — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@smithma388 That’s plausible but, if true, you’d expect a bigger shift in NOVA than other parts of the state. Not obvious yet that’s the case. — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

It’s definitely possible that specific tactical choices of the campaigns - e.g., CRT focus - was the difference-maker. But campaigns matter less than we think. When a result is easily explained by a long-standing structural trend, that’s my prior absent clear evidence. — PolitiTweet.org
