I feel like I do a lot of whiplashing between seemingly decisive polls and stories about some swing state appointee announcing that they invalidated 100,000 mail-in ballots because the stamp on the envelope had been turned more than 15° off center — PolitiTweet.org

I wrote about the sense of systemic unfairness — a kind of corruption — driving anger at the White House’s ethos of “rapid testing and experimental treatments for us, risk and uncertainty for you" https://t.co/Cc24HrkGR8 — PolitiTweet.org

Obviously a sitting president gets treated differently from the rest of us, but for the rest of us, only the ~20% worst cases receive hospitalization https://t.co/HHQAOc4gVW — PolitiTweet.org

I get why folks are being sort of arch about this, but just to be crystal clear: The president contracting coronavirus, going extended incommunicado, put on experimental treatments, and then airlifted to a military hospital are, taken together, a big deal. — PolitiTweet.org

Long ago, a magazine I worked at did a cover story on war between Israel and Iran. They wanted the part of the website I ran to do a “panel of experts” assessing the risk. It was all American/Israeli men. When I urged including Iranians and women, I was removed from the project. — PolitiTweet.org

@stcolumbia Lots of dumb takes out there asking pols to disavow violence or extremism for the wrong reasons, but that doesn't mean the exercise is necessarily and always pointless — PolitiTweet.org
Max Fisher @Max_Fisher
@stcolumbia I think that last part is the point. It’s a costly commitment in the form of the pol saying something that hurts their standing with the militants. I don’t think anyone serious expects it to have an effect on the ground. — PolitiTweet.org

Shades of Brazil. Except without the independent police investigation. So shades of Brazil, but with less accountability or institutional capacity. https://t.co/XLsK6EI8CH — PolitiTweet.org

The datapoint that absolutely stopped me in my tracks: "Very few episodes of autocratization starting in democracies have ever been stopped before countries become autocracies.” Once backsliding starts – and it often starts small! – it usually goes all the way. https://t.co/G7QSD46LNr — PolitiTweet.org
Max Fisher @Max_Fisher
Crucially, elected leaders who turn autocratic tend to be held up by self-interested political systems that "mimic democratic institutions while gradually eroding their functions.” Few recognize this as explicit democratic erosion until it’s too late. — PolitiTweet.org
Max Fisher @Max_Fisher
One reason this got missed: dictators no longer fit the Bond-villain image we expect. Today’s line-blurring autocrats tend to be bumbling, paranoid, polarizing, but have "mastered the art of subverting electoral standards without breaking their democratic facade completely.” — PolitiTweet.org
Max Fisher @Max_Fisher
Last year, a very important University of Gothenburg study identified a global “wave of autocratization” – 75 cases of countries backsliding. Disturbingly, most were democracies. https://t.co/N0paXNSXkM https://t.co/Ch423NV0fo — PolitiTweet.org
Max Fisher @Max_Fisher
Not for nothing: One of the most pronounced trends in global governance is the rise of elected leaders who undermine democracies from within. Some reason to think this trend is accelerating. — PolitiTweet.org

This one too, from October 2016, on Trump’s threats echoing those of other elected strongmen who pull down democracy from within. I was told to take him “seriously, not literally.” https://t.co/tph4RaKHCm — PolitiTweet.org
