One of the things that disturbs me about there being a meaningful GOP coalition for the QAnon demand to overturn elections is that item #2 on the Q wishlist is mass executions — PolitiTweet.org

@mattyglesias The idea that dropping bombs in one low-cost context will convey a willingness to drop bombs in a different, higher-cost context has been tested so very many times, and to my knowledge never borne out. — PolitiTweet.org

Per @RobbieGramer, IMO this is best understood as a Pompeo 2024 gambit. Sets up Biden to start day one mired in a major crisis with China, a distraction from Covid he can't afford. His only move is to roll this back, which Pompeo can use to call him soft on China. — PolitiTweet.org

Trump is obviously pretty litigious, but Twitter has a market cap above $40bn. It’s not a New Jersey construction firm he can threaten to outspend or tie up in litigation. — PolitiTweet.org

Seeing some of the videos of rioter-police confrontations inside the Capitol, it is absolutely shocking that more people weren't killed. If not by rioters or cops, then just by stampeding. One of a hundred ways this was a razor's edge from being so, so much worse. — PolitiTweet.org

@emilybazelon Good point, definitely of a piece with the broader change in authoritarianization — PolitiTweet.org
Max Fisher @Max_Fisher
The folks who study coups, in my experience, have enormously important insights to share on events like this week’s. But that is unfortunately getting drowned out by a rigid definitional call that, respectfully, is not really illuminating anything for anyone. — PolitiTweet.org
Max Fisher @Max_Fisher
@prof_powell Fair point – like I said, I’m not claiming to have the answer for how to resolve it! But the events that fall in fuzzy grey definitional margins are growing in frequency and importance, which is going to mean more confusion from people looking to the field to make sense of things — PolitiTweet.org
Max Fisher @Max_Fisher
@prof_powell I think there is a growing mismatch between how people colloquially think of coups and the formal definition. I have no standing or expertise to say how that should be resolved. But wanted to illuminate it for people, since it seems to be causing confusion. — PolitiTweet.org
Max Fisher @Max_Fisher
@prof_powell For sure, and in my experience today’s researchers have profoundly nuanced insights on that bigger picture. But in a strict definitional debate like this one, the definitions getting drawn on tend to be rooted in older, more rigid ways of thinking, is my sense. — PolitiTweet.org
Max Fisher @Max_Fisher
I mention all this because if you're a regular person trying to figure out how to think about yesterday's events — and why the coup experts are insisting it isn't one — it might help to know that there is some history to that odd-seeming classification. — PolitiTweet.org
Max Fisher @Max_Fisher
Civilian authoritarianization — elected strongmen who topple institutions from within, often by provoking decentralized violence like in DC — has been one of the most impt global trends of the last 30 years. "Tanks in the streets" is outmoded, as are definitions that look for it. — PolitiTweet.org
