@ProfMeinke @MattGlassman312 @DaveAHopkins @MattGrossmann Also, do all of the Twitter Political Scientists know each other? Do you all just write articles together over DM? — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
@ProfMeinke @MattGlassman312 @DaveAHopkins @MattGrossmann It certainly seems that Republicans see Democrats through the GOP pathology, but I’m less convinced about Democrats seeing Republicans through their own lens. Some of the smartest people I know about the tea party and far right are Dem members. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
Oh, you think I’m a monster? Well here’s a picture of my computer screen that I took with my phone. It’s an attention-seeking Facebook post from 2016 where I write about loving my kids even when they’re bad! I use two spaces after every period! I am normal and well-adjusted! — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
@MattGlassman312 Alright but I still think there’s something missing here. The two parties seem to be playing different games, with many different games and motives among members of the same party too. But there’s a tension because Republicans assume Democrats are just as cynical as them. — PolitiTweet.org

@laurenboebert I, too, conflate restraint with weakness. — PolitiTweet.org

Lauren Boebert walked away from that video of Marjorie Taylor Greene accosting a teenager who had just survived a school shooting with the takeaway that it made Marjorie Taylor Greene look good and David Hogg look bad. Normal thoughts from a Member of Congress. — PolitiTweet.org
Lauren Boebert @laurenboebert
David, please. We all saw how tough you were when questioned face to face. Give your keyboard a rest, child.
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
@bricey16 They don’t. If they were as meddlesome as Republicans, they’d be pushing the issue, raising the issue during press conferences, forcing McCarthy to answer questions while contrasting Cheney with Marjorie Taylor Greene. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
The animating issue here is that a woman acted in opposition to Donald Trump. She stood up to him and said no, making other House Republicans look questionable for saying yes. It can’t be tolerated. It is apostasy. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
The thing about Matt Gaetz going to Wyoming to crusade against Liz Cheney is that this is such inside baseball. Who are these Trump voters calling for the No. 3 House Republican to be removed from leadership? This would be such an easy issue for GOP members to just ignore. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
@Docrev_ @MadHominem I think you may be right here. There was also a failed immigration bill more recently that comes to mind, but it failed because there weren’t enough Republicans willing to take any risk at all. — PolitiTweet.org

@Heffomite Say what you will about the tenets of national socialism but at least it's an ethos! — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
I’ll also add that there are some Republicans who act out of principle rather than political expediency. Chip Roy opposed GOP efforts to overturn the electoral college, noting that he may be signing his political death certificate to do so. Liz Cheney also comes to mind here. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
Look at Obamacare in 2010. There were a lot of Democrats who knew they were writing their political death certificate with that vote — and they did it anyway. Politicians aren’t always single-minded seekers of re-election. Sometimes they actually want to help people. — PolitiTweet.org
Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
Been thinking a ton about game theory in politics — thanks @MattGlassman312 — but I actually think that misses something essential. If it’s just a game, anything that helps you gather more power or get re-elected is permissible. I don’t think that’s how a lot of Dems see it. — PolitiTweet.org

Matt Fuller @MEPFuller
Still thinking about Rep. Kelly Armstrong’s floor speech on 1/13, where he said voting against impeachment would give him credibility with his base and voting for impeachment would give Dems credibility with their base. This is basically how GOP lawmakers think about things. — PolitiTweet.org

The back-and-forth between Cruz and AOC today has been revealing about how much Cruz thinks it’s all a game and how much AOC doesn’t. — PolitiTweet.org
