This is more or less what I expected. Reporting that something is going to happen generally doesn't have a huge impact on public opinion. The thing actually happening does, however inevitable it seemed to people who pay close attention to the news — PolitiTweet.org

One important thing to note is that this is not an accidental convergence. The Hungarian government has deliberately cultivated Western conservatives as allies for years, and now they're reaping the benefits. — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
A lot of news outlets this week are covering CPAC in Hungary, noting similarities between the current GOP and Orbán's government. I've been writing about this for years — including this 2018 feature dispatch from Hungary https://t.co/fmutzPOvY1 — PolitiTweet.org

Mizrahi's analysis poses a general lesson for liberals: many voters have a different value set than the one dreamed in your (our) philosophies. We're seeing that not only in Israel and the Philippines, but in the US, India, Brazil, Hungary, and elsewhere https://t.co/mCTNtcHzXV https://t.co/D1IcY319O9 — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
Mizrachi is interested in the Israeli left's "what's the matter with Kansas" question: why Mizrahim, who are relatively marginalized compared to the Ashkenazim, vote for right-wing parties. He argues the question is premised on a moral category error https://t.co/yVYavOWGX5 — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
Committed liberals and democrats have a really hard time understanding why this kind of politics can be appealing. This is the subject of another one of my favorite articles, by Israeli sociologist Nissim Mizrachi https://t.co/44HbEjDMIY — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
The problem, though, is that "disciplining" democracy through illiberal means necessarily undermines democracy itself. In the Philippines, Duterte assailed democratic institutions — and paved the way for a restoration of the Marcos family to power https://t.co/mCTNtcHzXV https://t.co/aiqQYQ4Gdp — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
Garrido's "disciplinary democracy" — an idea adjacent to @TomPepinsky's "voting against disorder" — appeals to people who find the messiness and compromise inherent to democratic politics frustrating. Voters see the ballot box as empowering a leader to break the rules. — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
In reporting this piece, I come across a really important article by Marco Garrido — a sociologist studying the Philippines at the University of Chicago https://t.co/b4wVAn8Y5N Garrido locates Duterte's popularity in the appeal of what he calls the "disciplinary state:" https://t.co/ryiX1HD5oo — PolitiTweet.org

Last week's election in the Philippines mostly flew under the radar in the US. But it showed us something really, really important about the future of democracy around the world https://t.co/mCTNtcHzXV — PolitiTweet.org

@RichLowry @ThePlumLineGS Had Greg said "wonderful news, the Democratic plan to deliberately replace white voters with non-whites is working," the two statements would have been parallel. He didn't, because that's endorsing a crazy racist conspiracy theory — which she did. — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@RichLowry @ThePlumLineGS No, absolutely not! The key difference is the element of intentionality: she alleged a "plan" to "overthrow our current electorate," whereas Greg was explaining the demographic factors behind an election. The former is a conspiracy theory because it posits *a conspiracy* — PolitiTweet.org

@ThePlumLineGS @RichLowry I'm still waiting in the other thread for an explanation as to how your piece was a "smear" — PolitiTweet.org

When I read the Buffalo shooter's manifesto, I noticed something: large chunks of the text were directly copy-pasted from the 2019 Christchurch mosque shooter's message. Notably, the Buffalo killer adopted his *strategic* logic — called "accelerationism" https://t.co/PxLN4FdFTP https://t.co/yHJehyVeFJ — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@davidshor @Theophite This is the steelman version of the position, as per usual with you! But obviously some overexcited takes do not 1) amount to a "plan" to "replace" the electorate or 2) explain what's going on with the GOP and replacement now, which is about Carlson turning up the racism dial — PolitiTweet.org
