      Seriously, if Michael Tracey plays his cards right, he could be in the Trump era what Christopher Hitchens was in the Bush era, the quondam leftist who wins an audience by making contrarian arguments for an indefensible Republican president. Always a market for that.

      Jeet, sometimes I think you're angling to be my personal psychiatrist or something.

      It's just an addiction to this. There are far healthier ways we should all be striving to fulfill this human need - @johannhari101's book on why depression & anxiety are skyrocketing in the digital era is great on this topic - but his constant tweeting about you provides the fixpic.twitter.com/TkWOktg626

      I'll admit that tweeting about Michael does make me happy. He's an interesting character, a mixture of real insight & blinkered perversity, much more fun to write about than more conventional pundits.

      I agree with that: he's a much more heterodox, independent, non-tribalistic and critical thinker than the standard partisan pundit, which makes him more interesting. But do you acknowledge you're aware that he's unpopular among your liberal following & thus easy to attack?

      Actually, what I've been told many times by liberals and centrists is that I should ignore Michael and that my tweets are signal-boosting. I obviously disagree with Michael on a lot but I also see him as a part of the conversation, which most liberals/centrists don't.

          Fair enough. I think bashing him is an easy way to get likes & applause among a certain set but I also think one of Twitter's worst attributes is the demand that no disagreement or adversaries be acknowledged - so as to not disturb the bubble of glee - & it's good you engage him.

          What is right wing about tracey? Serious question, what policies does he support that are right wing? Your dumb obsession with impeaching trump isn’t progressive jeet, the thought of a president pence/new cold war shouldn’t excite you so much. Maybe its you who’s right wing

          And I say this because when you say he “defends trump” he’s really fighting against a new Cold War and a conspiracy theory that could lead to Christian jihadist pence getting in power

          You all realize he's fairly unpopular among socialists, Marxists, and other actual leftists, not just liberals and centrists, right? The only group he seems to be popular among are Red-Brown alliance supporters...and Richard Spencer.
