Whether a "democracy" can ever be a serious country was, of course, addressed definitively by the ancients... — PolitiTweet.org

Liberals freaking out about some conservative not wearing a mask at Walmart—and then rooting on the largest mass protest movement we've seen in decades—was the height of hypocrisy. It demonstrated—as if we needed more evidence—that we simply don't live in a serious country. — PolitiTweet.org

But we ran into some problems. Americans in particular, and modern people in general, don't have the discipline for a full-lockdown. Just as important, the government doesn't have the willingness to pay people substance wages as we overcome this crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Last spring, I suggested a full lockdown and stay-at-home order in conjunction with a "no questions asked" basic income payment of $1,000 a month. This would have, unquestionably, been the best policy, particularly as we learned more about the virus and how to treat it. — PolitiTweet.org

In this way, #COVID19 is quite similar to the Spanish Flu, considering the advances in antibiotics, treatment, and communication. And @jollyheretic's and my suggestion that deaths due to Covid would resemble the tolls of the World Wars have proven to be quite accurate. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

We should remember how far we've come. Last spring, if anyone suggested 200,000 deaths, he'd be laughed off as a doomsayer indulging in "apocalypse porn." Today, 300,000 deaths by next summer seems baked into the cake. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Last spring, we were dealing with two problems in addressing #COVID19 in a rational manner: a) ignorance about its nature and effects (it was a novel virus, after all); b) rank denial, wishful thinking, and delusion on the part of Americans, particularly Republicans. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

I have, rather reluctantly, come to the conclusion that a) some kind of "herd immunity" to #COVID19 is inevitable and b) knowing this, bringing about this outcome in a reasonable fashion is the best policy. — PolitiTweet.org

This would be a good night for Trump. He takes Florida, surprisingly due to the Hispanic vote, and Minnesota, due to riots. Still a total wipeout. https://t.co/dusVcDJF67 #2020election — PolitiTweet.org

@Homosoypiens @heraclitean11 Tom Cotton supported Trump early. He merges neoconservatism and Trumpism. Whether he can be effective is questionable. — PolitiTweet.org

I also don’t think immigration reform will go away either. It will act a lot like Roe v Wade, an increasingly irrelevant “hot button” that Republicans press from time to time. Ann Coulter & co. will endlessly talk about it, proving how “hardcore” they are. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

I actually don’t think “Trumpism” will go away—because it clearly activates segments of the existing GOP constituency. What will end is the genuinely novel aspect of Trump in 2016: winning over millions of Obama voters through promises of right-wing paternalism. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

@RIdolater A solid point. I’m simply looking at the trajectory. My prediction is that Trump will win less than 55% of the White vote in November. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

The notion that Fox News is “government propaganda” is wrong. It’s more accurate to say that Trump’s admin is “media government.” https://t.co/YKgJ0uh2jF — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

@3pRevolt Yes. Conservatives have been disciplined to not make demands on government. The Far Left only riots over “White privilege,” not real economic concerns. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Refusing stimulus checks isn’t even good for Wall Street. No justification for this move on Trump’s part. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Spencer @RichardBSpencer

Just one poll... but the trend over the past six years continues. Trump’s GOP is hemorrhaging Whites (Romney got 59%), but he’s doing remarkably better among Blacks and Hispanics. — PolitiTweet.org
