      Exactly so. I'd push the point a bit harder and say calls like this are not about intellectual diversity but about creating an elite united front of liberals & conservatives to fend off supposed extremists.

          A more charitable read of @shadihamid’s point is that most people are standard-issue conservatives or liberals, so excluding either group excludes vast amounts of people. The same can’t be said for anarchists or other tiny political groups. (And no one should befriend Nazis.)

          “Most people” have eclectic, fluid, contingent points of view that do not conform even to a Left/Right binary and even less so to a liberal/conservative binary. People that do conform to liberal/conservative binary tend to be upper class, well educated, and elite

          There's a swath of contemporary elite liberalism that's like this and I find it both extremely stultifying and weirdly, unselfconsciously illberal

          This was literally the project created by Richard Hofstadter and Lionel Trilling in the late 1940s. I'll have more on this shortly.

          Again, this doesn't make much sense in my context, as I was/am a fairly outspoken Bernie supporter, an advocate of left populism (of the Mouffian strain), and a vocal "anti-centrist," to the extent that's a thing. So I think you guys might be talking about something else

          If it's about ideological diversity, you wouldn't want to focus just on center-right elites at institutions like AEI. You'd also want right populists, Catholic integralists, Evangelicals, and Benedict Option supporters (as well as a few Salafis and Islamists while you're at it)

          Mind reading, huh? Interesting strategy, let's see if it pays off.
