@rockrichard absolutely. it's just being said out loud a lot more — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes

Here's just one example basically at random, subtly dropped in towards the end of the ad. The second amendment is so people can protect themselves from "intruders or an overly intrusive government." https://t.co/dOGYy748Rz — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes

This an *obviously* deranged reading of it all, totally incompatible with basic principles of civic life and liberal democracy, but it casts a very long and ominous shadow over our politics right now. One that's getting longer by the day. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes

In fact, under a certain (once fringe, now common) reading , that's the whole *point* of the second amendment. People should be sufficiently armed to be able to murder agents of the state en masse if it comes to that. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes

An increasingly mainstream message of gun maximalists is that the *reason* to be armed is so that you can use violence or the threat of it to get your way in the political sphere, basically:"People in government need to worry we'll pump their bodies full of lead if they cross us" — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes

@MattZeitlin right, exactly. @rustbeltjacobin 's point is that it's *good* lots of people want to live in cities and we should try to facilitate a future in which it's an afforable option for as many people who want to do that as possible. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes

The not ever quite stated subtext to a *lot* of gun politics is actual physical fear of crossing the gun rights people. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes

I mean that's kind of an overstatement, for most cities. We don't need anything that big! But big dense developments with lots of housing middle class people can afford and raise a family in, near outdoor greenspace and walkable commerce. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes

Very few people's idealized conception of What Cities Should be are big Mitchell-Lama towers, or Stuy Town, but actually that's what we need way way more of. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes

But that was a kind of accident, the culmination of a bunch forces - many pernicious! - that shouldn't be a model for the future. The future won't look like the past and it may even be aesthetically a bit cringe! But that's OK. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes

The key insight is that a lot of people want to "go back" in a way to a certain moment in urban development that, for a confluence of reasons created relatively affordable, vibrant, walkable, bohemian-friendly neighborhoods. — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes

This is a great thread about how to think of vibrant, accessible affordable cities. — PolitiTweet.org

@gelliottmorris this entire discourse has so many moving targets one really starts to feel like a mark at a three card monty table after awhile — PolitiTweet.org

Chris Hayes @chrislhayes

@gelliottmorris that's like a koan, because if the argument is that it missmeasures what people "actually" want their government to do, then what good is it? You just mean it serves a kind of communicative/expressive function? — PolitiTweet.org
