@maxberger it's clear investors are reacting to short-term attention paid to desantis without any thoughts on how much could happen over the course of the next three years. no credible case he's more likely than trump — PolitiTweet.org

It's unethical for political journalists to bet in markets their coverage can affect. But if I could, I would short DeSantis so hard. — PolitiTweet.org

Me: Allegations that Biden is "banning meat" prove that good-faith conversation on reducing meat consumption is impossible. Conservatives react hysterically to even modest proposals, like funding lab-grown meat, for basically cultural reasons. Right-wing Twitter: https://t.co/qJiFeOYpFL — PolitiTweet.org

@conor64 you should read the piece, there's nothing about coercive imposition of a meat ban in it — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

Thanks to Jeff for helping illustrate the argument in the piece! The actual policies I suggest — funding lab-grown meat, for example — have nothing to do with *forcing* people to stop eating animals. But partisan blinkers means he translates that as "ban meat." — PolitiTweet.org

But at the same time, there's no doubt *something* needs to be done. This piece focuses on the climate reasoning, but my own objection to the meat industry is first and foremost ethical. The way we treat animals is more than wrong — it's indefensible https://t.co/xp03EKT0mP — PolitiTweet.org

The meat problem is extremely difficult because, unlike some issues nowadays, it pulls the cultural right and the economic right into alignment https://t.co/xp03EKT0mP https://t.co/C9jcz6bUgT — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

The absurd claim that Biden is trying to ban meat reveals a scarier reality: we need to reduce meat consumption to head off catastrophic climate change, but the culture war might make that impossible https://t.co/xp03EKT0mP — PolitiTweet.org

One of the most significant tensions on the right today is the tension between its rhetorically menacing far-right nationalism and the ho-hum libertarian substance of its economic policy agenda — PolitiTweet.org

@RhetoricPJ i'm less convinced that one is real — or, more precisely, that it's real in the sense of "something that is uniquely the result of left-wing commitments about identity and not just the generalized nature of politics" — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

It increasingly seems like "critical race theory" is the 2020s discursive equivalent of "communism" in the 1950s: it refers both to a real thing that can be criticized and an all-encompassing phantasm used to justify state repression of leftists — PolitiTweet.org

@jbouie It’s ahistorical with respect to those countries. In the Philippines, Duterte ramped up police violence not in response to actual violent crime but a somewhat overhyped drug epidemic. More than anything else, it was a tool of repression and power consolidation. — PolitiTweet.org

Okay so a lot of the Journal of Controversial Ideas pieces seem dumb but "in defense of animal rights terrorism" is genuinely entertaining https://t.co/wF8P27Z957 https://t.co/k7y8Lpy6YQ — PolitiTweet.org

@ChrisMattoxDC @BBandsaw @juliaoftoronto You're actually in the wrong here. She's extremely clear that she was one of the people who was wrong, and the entire article is about how Vietnam's policies exposed the flaws in the pre-pandemic expert reasoning https://t.co/yhZNSDo71Z — PolitiTweet.org
