It's simple. Either they keep getting second chances they don’t deserve — or you start getting first chances you do. https://t.co/mnFAAUjI4E — PolitiTweet.org

Kellyanne Conway's second chance will reduce the cost of flirting with fascism for future officials, which will one day mean a refugee doesn't get a second chance in America. https://t.co/mnFAAUjI4E — PolitiTweet.org

The lying warmonger's second chance means some son or daughter won't get a second chance to breathe after an IED explodes in a far-off country. https://t.co/mnFAAUjI4E — PolitiTweet.org

The Wall Street crook's second chance after 2008 means you don't get a second, or first, chance to own a home. https://t.co/mnFAAUjI4E — PolitiTweet.org

But there's a second problem with these costless second chances. They entrench a reality in which second, often first, chances are withheld from others. There is a zero-sum link between these second chances at the top and the chances people enjoy below. https://t.co/mnFAAUjI4E — PolitiTweet.org

Think about the opposition to Trump in the final months. The people who saw it clearly from the start were, in terms of TV airtime and magazine covers and such, junior partners to the people who were wrong for years and oftentimes helped lay the groundwork for Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

With such second chances, the people most wrong about the biggest questions in society first do their wrong phase, then see the light, and immediately establish themselves as lighting experts, cutting in line everyone who never didn't see the light. https://t.co/mnFAAUjI4E — PolitiTweet.org

If you play your cards right, you don’t even need to atone for one of these second chances. You can go straight from the arson to the firefighting, straight from causing the problem to leading the search for solutions to it. https://t.co/mnFAAUjI4E — PolitiTweet.org

I imagine an older arc of second chances as: Sin>Accountability>Redemption. The new arc is: Sin>Sin-related expertise>Leadership of sin prevention. https://t.co/mnFAAUjI4E — PolitiTweet.org

There would seem to be a new style of second chance on the rise, one that skips over the traditional atonement phase. You go straight from causing a problem to leading the quest for solutions. Call it the Lincoln Project shuffle. https://t.co/mnFAAUjI4E https://t.co/BhGC6nCM3V — PolitiTweet.org

Why would we expect Trump to face any accountability when the people who brought us Guantanamo and torture and Iraq and Katrina and climate change and voter suppression and suffocating plutocracy are not only living their best lives but often mega-stars of democracy protection? — PolitiTweet.org

Trump's acquittal is terrible. But is there anything special about his impunity? It is absolutely unsurprising. https://t.co/mnFAAUjI4E https://t.co/ux9ZHmuFhs — PolitiTweet.org
THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites
In theory, second chances are a good thing. I mean, we all need them. But as the Trump era fades and a new wave of second-chance-seeking gets under way, I have been wondering: Who gets second chances and who doesn’t? https://t.co/mnFAAUjI4E — PolitiTweet.org

"The 21st-century second chance is a flashy, well-publicized, flex of a reentry in which one expects more than a chance to be back in polite society. One expects to lead." I wrote about the modern, arson-to-fire chief second chance and its grave costs. https://t.co/mnFAAUjI4E — PolitiTweet.org

The Conways are stars, the staffers of Iraq are democracy essayists, the speculators of 2008 run impact funds to “help” the poor, the union busters are philanthropists, and America remains more generous with second chances for the powerful than first chances for everyone else. — PolitiTweet.org

@CriswellAngela @manovak43 Admittedly, Twitter is strange, but calling for a group of people to be given more power and then being told you’re attacking them is...surreal. — PolitiTweet.org
