The conservatives you see praising Limbaugh on Twitter are perfectly representative of the Republican party, which has treated him as a leading ally for 30 years https://t.co/J43f1WRfTy https://t.co/DNhReLgppS — PolitiTweet.org

"Obituaries for talk radio host Rush Limbaugh, who died on Wednesday at the age of 70, have frequently described him as a “conservative provocateur.” This is technically accurate but euphemistic, akin to calling Bashar al-Assad a 'controversial leader.'” https://t.co/J43f1WRfTy — PolitiTweet.org

Rush Limbaugh made our country worse, its people more bigoted and its politics more vicious. We should be honest about that. https://t.co/rtuUTEtdSr — PolitiTweet.org

@RhetoricPJ @JSClemmons yeah i'd like to see this too, also curious for your broader take on his legacy (send me an email?) — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@NoahCRothman But — and I mean this in entirely good faith — how can you defend his record? This (from the HuffPo obit) is largely pre-Trump. The crude bigotry has always been there. https://t.co/FwGnyJnHU0 — PolitiTweet.org

@olivertraldi @NickClairmont1 I think a lot of it originated in the 1980s in reaction to Reagan and Thatcher’s moralistic anti-Communism - then got picked up and spread in the eras you’re talking about — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@NickClairmont1 @olivertraldi I think I have a crankier and more specific view here, emerging out of a more fundamental experience as a lifelong fantasy novel reader increasingly frustrated with the post-George R.R. Martin turn towards "grimdark" in the genre — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@olivertraldi @NickClairmont1 No I think my view here is in tension with a kind of linear application of left-wing politics to culture and that's OK — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@Jacob_Brogan But noting there were sympathetic villains in classical literature doesn't show there hasn't been a shift inside *contemporary* pop-culture. It just read like a weird claim that I wasn't aware that there's a long history of ambiguous villains, which is a little insulting. — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@Jacob_Brogan I think it's fairly clear that in the past few years, especially since the era of the TV anti-hero, there's been a move away from "pure evil" depictions of villains in major pop culture vehicles in favor of more sympathetic portrayals. Do you disagree? — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@Jacob_Brogan Do you actually think that I'm claiming superhero movies "invented" ambiguous villains rather than expressing frustration with their cultural dominance? — PolitiTweet.org

@Ben_Verschoor Seems like that's true some of the time but not others. The two best comic book movie villains (imo) are Nolan's Joker and Killmonger. Opposite ends of the "grounded motivation" spectrum; what makes them both work is good writing and great acting. — PolitiTweet.org

It's also exemplary of another cultural trend I find annoying: bad guys aren't just "bad" anymore. The Joker is the product of sadness and social alienation. Thanos saw his planet collapse into environmental ruin. Maybe the woman who wants to kill puppies can just be evil. — PolitiTweet.org
