@SethAMandel Yeah I think there’s been enough pushback (largely from journalists with kids) that this can’t qualify as a media orthodoxy. But I do think a lot of the general support for school closures is collapsing/will soon collapse, and everyone will pretend they were never for it. — PolitiTweet.org
McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins
@politicalmath @bethanyshondark I’m just saying there’s been enough dissent that it can’t qualify as twitter/media orthodoxy. Mainstream publications/journalists have been pushing back on school closures for months. — PolitiTweet.org

@bethanyshondark Feels like the school-closure bubble has already been punctured. — PolitiTweet.org

@AJDelgado13 @FLman1980 I'd say that's more of a resistance-twitter thing than a broader media thing, but yes I have noticed a retreat from that take. — PolitiTweet.org
McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins
@thenextvinnie Sure, and my point is that there was virtually no allowance for the possibility of a lab leak in most media coverage for about a year. (We might be seeing an overcorrection now.) — PolitiTweet.org
McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins
@jeffdobbs YES — PolitiTweet.org
McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins
@thenextvinnie I'm not trying to argue here! I'm genuinely asking—what do you view as the consistent, unchanging scientific consensus about the lab-leak theory? — PolitiTweet.org
McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins
@thenextvinnie What is that unchanging consensus? — PolitiTweet.org
McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins
@thenextvinnie hmm.. I think one problem is with the concept that there's such a thing as "the scientists" as a monolithic group. It seems some scientists gave more credence to the lab-leak theory than others, and one group's views were widely reported as the "consensus." — PolitiTweet.org
McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins
Given the recent 180-degree turn in the lab-leak discourse, I have a (slightly trollish-sounding but actually sincere) question: Which subject of media/twitter orthodoxy do you think is most likely to be abandoned in the next year? — PolitiTweet.org

This story about the ACLU embracing its role as a vehicle for progressive politics gets at a larger phenomenon of the Trump era: Institutions/movements/public figures becoming the thing their critics have long contended they secretly were. https://t.co/34HqNtVZbc — PolitiTweet.org

@thenextvinnie In @robertpjones’s formulation, that other force “pulling” Mormons away from the brink can’t just be statements from church leaders (though, again, those are necessary). It’s the deeper parts of the faith—community, culture, history—that most effectively combat this stuff. — PolitiTweet.org
McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins
@thenextvinnie I think it would help (and has helped) up to a point. But the church made a point of congratulating Biden on his victory last year and MAGA-indoctrinated members freaked out, and some even burned their temple recommends over it. — PolitiTweet.org

@JenlovesOBG Tweets like this reveal how little thought you’ve given to this subject. — PolitiTweet.org
McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins
@DamonLinker QAnon, yes. About 1/5 (though my guess is that there’s a 10-20% slice of US Mormonism that’s always latched onto the RW conspiracy theory du jour). But the stolen election lie has captured a large majority of white evangelicals, whereas with Mormons it’s still (barely) a minority — PolitiTweet.org
McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins
Institutional pushback against extremism and conspiracism matters, but it will only accomplish so much. What will make the difference long-term is finding ways to strengthen the faith's community and harness its sense of history in healthy, productive ways. — PolitiTweet.org
McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins
I'm reminded of what @robertpjones told me last year: "History and culture matter a lot. Partisanship today is such a strong gravitational pull. I think what we’re seeing with Mormons is that there’s something else pulling on them too.” https://t.co/u9LSR7JSTO — PolitiTweet.org
McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins
The radicalization of today's GOP presents serious challenges for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Data suggests these conspiracy theories haven't permeated Mormonism as deeply as the white evangelical community, but they're taking a toll. https://t.co/3s4lH4JO5U — PolitiTweet.org

@AlumByu @Just_isB You should consider whether it's wise to publish clearly defamatory things like this. Not only is this a lie, it seems like you know it is. Will block you shortly, but hope you reconsider your approach. — PolitiTweet.org
