@Arkenor @PersuadersBook I actually think there’s more to it than that. Spent a lot of time talking to my subjects about why. — PolitiTweet.org

THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites

I so appreciate @jenszalai’s thoughtfulness. I hope the message breaks through: There is hope. Enough with the despair. We can beat this anti-democratic movement and bury it. But only if we quit our bad habits and learn from those who show a better way. https://t.co/ZB0eiNzLJx — PolitiTweet.org

I felt very seen by this graf of hers. Emotions ARE a core part of @PersuadersBook. I worry deeply that the political actors in American life with the most astute psychological and emotional read on voters are on the side of the fascists. That needs to change. https://t.co/YjeOFQkMgO — PolitiTweet.org

THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites

The reigning Democratic Party approach to persuasion is dilution. Take the ambitious version of a thing, add water, and sell it to moderates. @jenszalai is right that what I’m championing is Not That. Rather, it’s standing for big things and reaching out to sell them. — PolitiTweet.org

THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites

But what @jenszalai so astutely observes is that this fatalism, while understandable given all we’ve lived through, isn’t bad for kumbaya reasons or because of the centrist interest in civility. It’s bad because it dooms getting the better world we want. — PolitiTweet.org

THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites

Disagreement has begun to feel “existential,” @jenszalai writes. “Politics is an extension of war by other means.” I think all of us can identify with that, have let ourselves succumb to that fatalism, at least sometimes. — PolitiTweet.org

THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites

It is so meaningful when a reviewer deeply sees what you’re trying to do in a book, and I want to share some highlights of what @jenszalai distilled so brilliantly in this piece today… https://t.co/ZB0eiNiIHx — PolitiTweet.org

If you want to learn the best way to message to defeat fascism, and want the bearer of this wisdom to be, as @nytimes puts it, “funny and profane,” my @PersuadersBook chapter on @anatosaurus is for you. Publishers, a PSA: You’re going to want to snap up her book. You’re welcome. — PolitiTweet.org

“If you take a look at what passes for political discourse nowadays, it’s hard not to succumb to fatalism. These are fractious, polarized times…Disagreement is existential. Politics is an extension of war by other means. “Not so fast.” https://t.co/ZB0eiNzLJx — PolitiTweet.org

THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites

“While the world seems to counsel despair, ‘The Persuaders’ is animated by a sense of possibility: ‘Sometimes there were cracks that let a new thought in.’” I’m blown away by this incisive and deeply knowing review from @jenszalai in @nytimesbooks. 🙏🏾 https://t.co/ZB0eiNzLJx — PolitiTweet.org

You hear it all the time: Those people will never change. Let's just mobilize our own side. This fatalism isn't going to deliver us from fascism. It's going to deliver us fascism. There is a better way. https://t.co/YgMIJICDHy — PolitiTweet.org

@TheProspect @amlowenstein "For those who depend on Democratic victories for their well-being and even survival, the task of persuasion is an existential one. Some can afford to be fatalistic about the project of changing minds; they can simply retreat if the democratic project fails...But they are few." — PolitiTweet.org

THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites

I am close to happy tears having just read this review of THE PERSUADERS in @TheProspect. Wow, @amlowenstein. You got it on such a profound and layered level. Blown away and grateful. https://t.co/YgMIJICDHy — PolitiTweet.org
