@DouthatNYT I don't really read the last two UK elections as Brexit referenda given Corbyn's ambivalent stance. Leavers consistently refused a referendum on the terms of the Brexit deal and constantly delegitimized opposition to their plan. — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@MattBruenig Nah. I'm basically quoting the arguments made by both sides in recent competitions, these are things major partisans of both major parties genuinely believe. (And the idea that UK elections actually featured an anti-Brexit major party choice is, imo, itself fanciful) — PolitiTweet.org

This essentially authoritarian idea will celebrate two big victories today. And it won't be satisfied. — PolitiTweet.org

It's the logic that says pro-European voters in Britain are seditious "remoaners" who can be ignored. It's the logic that Democrats aren't "real Americans," so raw Republican partisanship actually represents authentic patriotism — PolitiTweet.org

Trump's (functional) acquittal and Brexit happening on the same day really hammers home the nature of our current crisis: an assault on the rules supposed to constrain and bind ascendant populism from running roughshod over dissenters — PolitiTweet.org

Ben Folds' "Rockin the Suburbs" just came on my Spotify, and the line "Y'all don't know what it's like / being male, middle class, and white" is a great burn on anti-SJW Twitter discourse written 20 years ago (!) — PolitiTweet.org

@DamonLinker You're right, I think I used "establishment" too loosely in the original tweet. "Policies that favor religious institutions in civil society" is a better way of putting what I was getting at. But I don't think what Barr is discussing here is "boilerplate" in any acceptable way. — PolitiTweet.org

@DamonLinker I think that's far too generous in light of his policy record and other public statements (i.e., FedSoc speech). I think he's doing something far more insidious: emptying out "free exercise" and "separation" of meaning, using them to justify state policy favoring religious — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

This quote from a new Barr interview is remarkable. He's weaponizing the "atheists can't be moral" argument to justify state establishment of religion, couched as "religious freedom" https://t.co/0KOFWFMY69 — PolitiTweet.org
