The reasons for 2) aren't just academic or "history will judge us" kind of pablum. January 6 evidence really could influence narratives and beliefs among the political elite, with subtle but potentially significant consequences — PolitiTweet.org

Two things that are both true: 1) January 6 public hearings probably won't alter polls or lead to a Trump indictment 2) It is extremely important to document what really happened that day and create a complete record of one of the country's darkest hours — PolitiTweet.org

@HeerJeet i'm interested to read this, my takeaway is that spengler is very different from a lot of the right today. peterson is an exception because he's into the same kind of weird esoteric cultural symbology that defined spengler's thought — PolitiTweet.org

I agree with the view that police abolition is bad politics and (more importantly) bad policy, but the alternative should not be a return to disastrous 90s-style tough-on-crime policies. More than two options here! — PolitiTweet.org

The depressing truth about the January 6 Committee’s public hearings: under conditions of extreme polarization, even the most damning proof of abuses of power might not change much https://t.co/FVCeou134q — PolitiTweet.org

Interesting to see AIPAC more publicly embrace its position as a right-wing pressure group. It's both a cause and consequence of further partisan polarization on support for Israel. — PolitiTweet.org

@lionel_trolling @njhochman I've got a piece engaging with Sam Francis' view of the GOP in edits. A notable thing is that his prescience is inextricably bound up with his racism: he was able to see the Trumpist future precisely because he felt comfortable openly saying what the base really wanted. — PolitiTweet.org

Reading Joseph de Maistre is interesting. He's prescient about some things (Bourbon restoration) and hilariously wrong about others (predicting that Washington DC would never be built) — PolitiTweet.org

Tracks with evolutions in politics. Back then, religion was a proxy war between Team Blue and Team Red used to fight about social values and presidential elections. After Obama and Trump, we cut out the theological middleman. — PolitiTweet.org

@CharlesFLehman @ptbrennan11 the other thing is that people you've muted can still QT you, unlike blocked ones. so if they have a large audience, they can subject you to pile-ons. this is the only thing that has tempted me to break my personal no block rule — PolitiTweet.org
