@RobTaber @helenlewis I don't think Helen is making recommendations here. She's observing that it could be very hard for the anti-Trump movement to stay as motivated/resolved when they don't have Trump around as a pure embodiment of all they oppose. Maybe you're right, and it won't matter. We'll see! — PolitiTweet.org

@RobTaber @helenlewis not sure resisting the ex-president who calls in to rant on fox & friends is going to be enough to occupy that movement — PolitiTweet.org

"For Democrats, this election was an exercise in setting aside differences in support of a broader goal: ending the reign of Donald Trump. Now that this goal has been accomplished, the Democrats’ truce is over." https://t.co/91Qx2PS9rq — PolitiTweet.org

For all the debate about the future of Trumpism, writes @helenlewis, "we should also pay attention to the future of anti-Trumpism, an undeniable political force now searching for an outlet, when its unifying hate figure recedes from the limelight." https://t.co/cYmIw8UB9h — PolitiTweet.org

"...someone like Trump makes politics simple for his opposition: In his comic-book badness, so free from redeeming features, he was the perfect liberal foil. Any return to something approaching normality will be a loss for those anti-fans." https://t.co/cYmIw8UB9h — PolitiTweet.org

@AliceFromQueens yeahhh... seems like if you believe the election was stolen, that segment was like 90% validation and 10% context — PolitiTweet.org

@cjane87 @bendreyfuss @SethAMandel I’m extremely embarrassed to know this, but I’m pretty sure this was a thing Allison Janney did in real life, like, on the set and then they made it a thing for the show — PolitiTweet.org

Lots of people on here are high-fiving over that Cavuto clip, but I've had Fox News on for the past couple hours and even the non-opinion hosts are giving a fair amount of airtime to the election-fraud stuff. Not backing it, but giving guests room to sound off on it, etc. — PolitiTweet.org

"Kushner smiled and said, 'No one can go as low as the president. You shouldn’t even try.' It took me a beat to realize that he meant this as a compliment to Trump, not as a criticism." Read @JeffreyGoldberg: https://t.co/n8ZSnRRIRf — PolitiTweet.org

@wineunist @axre91a @brianstelter FWIW I definitely don't think everyone who voted for Trump is a hardcore MAGA conspiracy theorist. That group is real, and bigger than it should be, but it's a subset of a subset of voters. — PolitiTweet.org

@EsotericCD I know you know this, but the media can't "do your introspection for you." That's the point. — PolitiTweet.org

McKay Coppins @mckaycoppins

FWIW I think the introspection among media types, Democrats, liberals, etc. is a good, healthy thing. (I wish the humility could persist beyond the 2 weeks after elections.) But the relative lack of introspection—so far—on the right is baffling given, you know, the outcome. — PolitiTweet.org
