It's not completely routine. Most elite factions are fairly partisan. If it was something completely routine, people wouldn't write about the political shifts of the neo-cons. But there are in fact many articles and even books about it.

The claim you can’t support is “neocons have switched parties 6 times” and the evidence that you can’t support it is that *your own support for it isn’t support for it, it is support for a different claim,* which is that *a small faction* of neocons switched. My god, man.

Yes, if you selectively quote from the tweet and leave out the qualification that was included, then I can't support the claim. That's why I put in the qualification. That's how writing works.

If someone said “Black women have switched parties three times” and one of the examples they gave was “In 2020, a faction of black women — Diamond and Silk and Candace Owens — support Trump,” then the “three times” claim would obviously be false. That’s what you’re doing.

Okay, I think I see the difference between us. I think there's a distinction between how one writes about a demographic group that includes millions (black women) and how one write about an elite faction of policy makers & journalists of a few thousand
