The Speaker is a constitutional office, in line for the presidency. Should someone like McCarthy who objected to legal and correct election results be Speaker? Shouldn’t Democrats offer to join a few decent Republicans to support a non-election denying Republican for Speaker? — PolitiTweet.org

“Some wayward conservatives who moved left did so because they no longer trust the good intentions of their former comrades. The wisdom of right-wing cultural policies may take on a different complexion when championed most visibly by authoritarians.” https://t.co/O1TPH5sJ1Y — PolitiTweet.org

“Alarmism is no good. But a proper alarm? That is something else. I say, beware: beware the normalization of antisemitism — an antisemitism that can seem casual at first (‘You ever been to Hollywood?’) but that can evolve into full-blown Nick-Fuentes-ism.” https://t.co/EkGAFSi314 — PolitiTweet.org

Bracing arguments here from @JVLast about the power of populism and of Trump: "When people in Conservatism Inc. talk about Trump vs. DeSantis there’s a lot of conflation between 'should,' 'want,' and 'will'...Want, should, and will are different things." https://t.co/PaX5Zw9L4v — PolitiTweet.org

"So Trump is REALLY impressed with Nick Fuentes." Don't take Ye's word for it. Has Trump apologized for hosting this fascist at Mar-a-Lago? Has Trump said a critical word about him? Do other Republicans have the guts to call Trump out? Or do they not have a problem with this? — PolitiTweet.org

A fantastic letter from to the DeSantis fan-boys from @Timodc. BLUF: He's pretty awful, but it would be good if he (or someone else) defeated Trump, so we'll tell both truths and act accordingly. Do read the whole thing. https://t.co/6Us18a9Z6U — PolitiTweet.org

“'We have a long history in this country of separating the moral character of the man in the White House from his conduct in office, but with Trump, it’s gone beyond any of the reasonably acceptable and justifiable norms,' Jay Lefkowitz said on Monday." https://t.co/LUKvXglaYB — PolitiTweet.org

From the Orthodox Union: “Donald Trump has a responsibility to denounce hate and lead by example…Anything less gives a stamp of approval to the world’s oldest hatred…We call upon responsible leaders—especially those in the Republican Party—to speak up…” https://t.co/VGqcSdyACm — PolitiTweet.org

"This is yet another replay of Trump’s winking denial of his alliance with bigots and conspiracists...Most Republicans accepted all of this years ago. So today’s silence should come as a surprise to no one. Think of it as the muscle memory of cowardice." https://t.co/DROamElMJv — PolitiTweet.org

"If these midterms had ended in violence and assaults on democracy, that would have been the new normal...The normalcy of these midterms makes it possible that, if we can hold it together in 2024, then we’ll be able to look back on 2020 as the aberration." https://t.co/3Ar40218nn — PolitiTweet.org

Just recorded a conversation with Whit Ayres. The presidential election's in 2024. But 2023 has the "invisible primary." What should we be looking for on the GOP side, especially with regard to Trump? And what about the Dems and Biden? Coming tomorrow on https://t.co/XE7uRA3mzN. — PolitiTweet.org

Surely there are five decent House Republicans who can’t stomach the MTG-backed McCarthy as Speaker, and who could join Democrats to back a good candidate. It should be a Republican since they won the majority, and doesn’t have to be a current member. How about @BarbaraComstock? https://t.co/nGHBBcETBY — PolitiTweet.org

Nothing in this interesting and well-reported piece on aspects and factions of the New Right makes me any less inclined unapologetically to defend the Old Liberalism against any version of New Right illiberalism. https://t.co/h8Rh9JVDx2 — PolitiTweet.org
