@MattBruenig @Steinernomics @mattyglesias @BenjySarlin This isn't true, fwiw. That stems from a 2016 WaPo poll that has serious methodological problems. Better research suggest that about half of Native Americans do in fact find it offensive https://t.co/kxVGQ9QdrS — PolitiTweet.org

I find it very frustrating that the issue of school reopening, which seems very subtle and difficult as a scientific and ethical matter, is getting pulled into the Trumpian culture war — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@mattyglesias @BenjySarlin Especially true given her class position. At the same time, her book is way worse than Kendi, who has a serious intellectual track record, but he's gotten some critical reviews too. After that, I'm struggling for what other books we'd use as a test case here. — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@BenjySarlin I'm writing something about this point, but the propositions "the foundations of liberal democracy are under attack" and "there are some bad and even illiberal ideas about race on the modern left" are too often conflated when they're actually separable — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@BenjySarlin It would be a pretty striking irony if the free speech people ended up disproving their own central points by pushing the mainstream media towards a kind of internal reckoning against the DiAngelos of the world — PolitiTweet.org

@MattBruenig @davidshor I really wish I had easy access to more segmented class/income/race data than what I have right now — David does, I'm sure. Lotta sub-propositions in this conversation I'd like to test against the data. — PolitiTweet.org

@MattBruenig @davidshor One election isn't a trend! Take, I dunno, 2000 as a baseline and then look at a series of minority voters — not just Latino but also East/South Asian voters. — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@MattBruenig @davidshor It's been heavily concentrated among whites, whereas the (long term) trend is minority voters as a bloc moving D. Democrats win minority working class voters, which is part of the problem with this 50+1 threshhold of all "working class" voters — obscures massive racial variation — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@davidshor I forget who coined this term, but "Buddy Garrity Republicans" — low education, high income by local standards — aren't "working class." A recent college graduate in Manhattan employed at an entry-level writing job is, though. — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@davidshor Yeah, this is what I'm taking issue with. I think "working class" should be defined in income terms rather than education ones because otherwise you risk conflating a cultural shift with an economic one. — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@davidshor How are you defining "working class" here? — PolitiTweet.org

@rortybomb I read this over the weekend, thought it was great — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
The problem with right-wing "class politics" is that it pretends that a cultural shift — non-college whites, both wealthy and not, have grown more Republican over time — is really a class issue — PolitiTweet.org

This is a matter of pure descriptive statistics, it's not even remotely controversial https://t.co/rS4ZNLiPIL https://t.co/UjyTKYoWGA — PolitiTweet.org

This is only true if your definition of "working class" excludes everyone who isn't white — PolitiTweet.org

This exchange between @rinireg and @johnschwenkler is one of the more precise and clarifying discussions of the free speech debate I've seen in a while — and a great example of the practical utility of analytic philosophy's precision-obsession — PolitiTweet.org

This is going to sound vague, but I think the reason that everything feels like it's breaking apart is that reality has moved beyond the intellectual tools we have for describing it — PolitiTweet.org

It's also worth reading this sharp essay by @nils_gilman on the topic, which I think about a lot https://t.co/rarMnYO62i — PolitiTweet.org

In fact, Guinier argues — in a strikingly critical historical essay on Brown v. Board of Education — that racial liberalism has made achieving social equality, a core objective of political liberals, far more difficult https://t.co/WFMr6AGJrq — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
One can believe in democracy and strong individual rights (including speech rights) while also rejecting this particular picture of how racial oppression works in the United States. The fact that they've been historically conjoined doesn't mean they're necessarily conjoined. — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
It occurs to me that the debate over "liberalism" and free speech is really a debate over what Lani Guinier calls "racial liberalism," which is quite different from Enlightenment-style political liberalism https://t.co/GpL64VBmSo https://t.co/bhjw60E6cR — PolitiTweet.org
