      This is something that I think the right understands more than the left does. It's why things like overturning Roe & restoring Lochner are thinkable. It's good to keep it in mind both as a caution and a goal. https://twitter.com/Vermeullarmine/status/1131934075273568256 …

      I agree with the quoted tweet, I just disagree with the "the left doesn't get this" addendum.

      "right understands more than the left" doesn't mean left doesn't understand but that not enough of left does.

          or that the left lacks the kind of resources necessary to mount these assaults. the heavy institutional support, especially for litigation by the right is probably the most dramatic change we've seen in the past 40 years. also the large scale abandonment of Blacks by dems

          This is a recurring theme for those of us who grew up in hard-right communities and left: Institutional apathy and ignorance is a singular barrier to real progressive change.

          🤔Might want to clarify this a bit more. Clearly "enough" of the left understands this argument to get those particular issues achieved. Unlike the right, however, not enough left activists understand this argument to give make the comforting illusion of a critical mass real.

          It's not even that, it's that the big left success (i.e. SSM) concerns an issue that the left doesn't view as a core priority.

          Essentially, progress has been so rapid it was not a big partisan flashpoint for long enough for the hacks to care much about it.
