"Marxists like to talk about the structural dependence of the state on capital, but that aphorism often works in reverse. One should never underestimate the structural dependence of capital on the state." https://t.co/1YTCeWbO9S — PolitiTweet.org

I’m still on parental leave, so a bit out of the swing of things, but this is my best guess about how the Senate races are going to end up https://t.co/5EcmDpjI0H — PolitiTweet.org

@davidfucillo I may pick CEH and Wilson to hedge given that Wentz is my QB. This team is pretty stacked https://t.co/CSsFwb0aFL — PolitiTweet.org

@BradWilcoxIFS @mattyglesias I don't think it's the kind of thing elites can just decide to do in the way you're suggesting. The events of 2020 were a perfect storm of a bunch of things — years of "Great Awokening," Trump presidency, (probably) COVID, and a particularly horrific case of police violence. — PolitiTweet.org

@BradWilcoxIFS @mattyglesias What is the evidence that rhetoric from political elites on either side affects family formation patterns? It seems intuitively implausible - no one thinks “what would Barack Obama say” before having unprotected sex - but I’m open to data showing otherwise — PolitiTweet.org

@ActuallyLPH @phylliskessel Luckily we’re both on parental leave still from the newborn! — PolitiTweet.org

@chrislhayes @phylliskessel So far he's negative and has no fever! Our greatest fear was that he would get it and have to go to the hospital, so we've been lucky in that one regard — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@phylliskessel Well, this worked out for me basically as I should have expected. Katie and Daveed are staying with family while Ellie and I are isolating together at home. I would not recommend contracting Covid while managing a toddler and two dogs. It's no good, zero out of five stars. https://t.co/T3oRPgRS95 — PolitiTweet.org

This is why comparative analysis is so important. Reactionary populism is rising across the democratic world, but "deaths of despair" are an American phenomenon https://t.co/wLExFvyuix — PolitiTweet.org

Been thinking about how to explain the way becoming a parent transforms your life. One way is the change in the @KristenBell media you watch now https://t.co/GANqXwz4F3 — PolitiTweet.org

All sorts of obvious problems with Tracey’s theory - most obviously, can’t explain the Holocaust by Bullets in the wake of Barbarossa in 41. It’s the kind of thing you could only say if you don’t know any of the key relevant history, let alone historiography — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

Broadly, there are two major schools of thought on the origins of the Holocaust. Intentionalists see it as something the Nazi leadership always planned. Functionalists see it as something that evolved over time on a more ad-hoc basis. Neither gives US entry a major causal role https://t.co/4bOFuJ5dGF — PolitiTweet.org

@DavidAstinWalsh @SevaUT Same thing for media people, just replace “their department” with “their Twitter feed” — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@DavidAstinWalsh @SevaUT The thing about the “it can’t be fascism” argument is that it elevated semantic quibbling over substantive argument, choosing the mood of superiority to the allegedly hysterical libs over the substantive question of whether America faced any kind of authoritarian threat — PolitiTweet.org

Our toddler is stuck at home with COVID, sharing a house with our infant son who will likely be hospitalized if he’s infected. Keeping them separated is really hard and taxing for @phylliskessel and I. If any parents have advice for dealing with this situation, please share. — PolitiTweet.org

Martha’s Vineyard is a summer destination for the rich, but it’s also home to a major Black cultural center in Oak Bluffs and a significant Brazilian immigrant population. Year-round residents are heavily working class, working in construction and fishing. — PolitiTweet.org
