@NellieBowles Because the threat to democracy here is real and serious? IMO the evidence in favor of this is overwhelming and well-supported in the political science literature https://t.co/lL8fL8Gj6u — PolitiTweet.org

@ilangoldenberg Yay congrats!! — PolitiTweet.org

For extremely online people, your team isn’t just your partisan ID - it’s the people who RT you and and share your beliefs. These communities create powerful partisan communities of a kind (somewhat) orthogonal to national politics. — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

The rhetorical move is supposed to insulate the speaker from charges of partisanship — I can't be a conservative, because I'm a socialist/libertarian/anarcho-syndicalist/whatever — but in fact you are on a team. It's team "anti-woke." — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

Revealed preferences matter. If you're a "socialist" who spends almost all your time arguing about "critical race theory" and virtually no time arguing for economic redistribution, you're not much of a socialist — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

There's an interesting move in the Discourse where people who are obsessed with fighting "wokeness" cite their views on economic issues — I'm a libertarian! I'm a socialist! — as some kind of proof that they aren't reactionaries — PolitiTweet.org

Well, he's correct, just not in the way that he meant it https://t.co/5tpED5ub4d — PolitiTweet.org

@RhetoricPJ is there a good journal article on this to read? — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

@RhetoricPJ nice to stumble into something that very smart people have known for a long time! — PolitiTweet.org

@chrislhayes "They tried to plot a coup and it almost worked" versus "there was probably something you could plausibly call collusion, they definitely wanted there to be more, and then they tried to cover up everything because it was embarrassing" — PolitiTweet.org

I have this half-baked theory that the very nature of investigative reporting, which often involves incremental updates on individual players, can contribute to the fog of public confusion that makes misinformation work. One of our best tools for exposing corruption backfiring. — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

Obviously someone does need to dredge up the truth of what happened — it's really important work! But the Gorpman/Bleemer problem is real and news outlets need to think about how to handle it — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

I'm a little worried that the January 6 coverage is taking on the same features of reporting on Mueller: a barrage of confusing details that obscure rather than illuminate the big picture — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

This actually shows that American inflation is unusually bad among advanced economies! — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

This is absolutely correct — and this article tries to explain why our leadership isn't treating this like the crisis it is https://t.co/PstekCoYmW — PolitiTweet.org

@DoHoBOB @PlantaQueen oh man that place is so fucking good, we went there over the summer and it was incredible — PolitiTweet.org

Perhaps a weird question, but does anyone know of a good book or journal article about the politics of interwar Finland? I've been reading a bit about it recently and am looking to learn more. — PolitiTweet.org

Literally seconds after I hit send, I got a phone call from a Jehovah's Witness trying to convert me. — PolitiTweet.org

Almost all of the time, my Christian neighbors were really kind and inclusive. We hosted a well-attended annual Hanukkah party, and I have close friends from that time in my life. But there was always a little bit of an undercurrent of "otherness" that was hard to shake. — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

I really liked this @jonathanchait piece, which resonated (to a degree) with my experiences growing up Jewish in a heavily Christian neighborhood. One time, some kids took a baseball bat to all the Jewish families' mailboxes https://t.co/h348T7Nuuv — PolitiTweet.org

@DamonLinker Isn't that true for a lot of the manly-man types? I mean, Tucker Carlson and Josh Hawley aren't exactly Army Rangers — PolitiTweet.org
