There are many more charts along these lines in the actual piece https://t.co/ltzS0zxrYe The bottom line? We can't think of the GOP as a typical center-right party anymore. It has become a committed anti-democratic faction, one that aims to rig the system in its favor. — PolitiTweet.org

This map, using Brennan Center data, plots all of the voter suppression laws implemented between 2010 and 2019. It's extremely clear which party is suppressing the vote — and that they're doing it on a large scale, with more bills planned in 2021 statehouse sessions https://t.co/SPxG4lzoVf — PolitiTweet.org

This is from a global survey of experts on political parties, asked to rank parties on their commitment to democracy and minority rights. The GOP, per these expert assessments, is an extreme outlier — comparable to Erdogan's AKP or Poland's PiS https://t.co/Y6lE6e9gV7 — PolitiTweet.org

This poll is from an academic survey of committed Trump fans. They found that anti-democratic views enjoy overwhelming support among the party base https://t.co/oB8bX89Vcf — PolitiTweet.org

I spent a while pouring over polling data and academic research on the GOP turn against democracy. The picture it paints is very, very bleak https://t.co/ltzS0zxrYe — PolitiTweet.org

The whole point of Superman is that he embodies the best in humanity, including the qualities of mercy and moral restraint. The best Superman stories work inside this framework; trying to contort him into a cynical frame almost always fails. I will die on this hill. — PolitiTweet.org

Here's hoping a great writer will get rid of the idea of grim, gritty Superman and bring back the Big Blue Boy Scout — PolitiTweet.org

Important caveats: 1) The study was conducted between 2018-2019; the author suggests coverage may have changed after George Floyd. 2) The study focuses on local media in four states — MO, VA, AZ, and TX. National media is importantly different. — PolitiTweet.org

New study finds that, contrary to popular narratives, anti-racist protests were generally covered more unfavorably than other kinds of protest https://t.co/IOLVOa09Lb — PolitiTweet.org

I keep coming back to this parallel as well, though there are two important differences: 1) The Democratic party of the 90s was more aligned with the critics of PC than it is now 2) Some 90s critics — e.g., Richard Rorty — were on a much higher intellectual level than today's — PolitiTweet.org

@olivertraldi my medium recommendations are typically weird conspiracy theories about political leaders like this one. i think the algorithm prioritizes terrible inflammatory content for some reason https://t.co/O3aJe3BIs7 — PolitiTweet.org
