      1. This @lyzl profile Seth Abramson is a terrific piece of writing and forces me do some reflection: should I have challenged the Resistance grifters more than I did? https://www.cjr.org/special_report/seth-abramson-twitter.php …

      2. Looking back, I think I have a pretty good record of mocking the Eric Garland and Louise Mensch types (looking askance at "game theory" on day one) but after a while I just muted/ignored this wing of discourse. That might have been a mistake.pic.twitter.com/7TeYepWExa

      3. Resistance Grifters were a hard thing to grapple with. Obviously nonsensical but it was hard to gauge how pernicious they were. If I thought they had sway in high politics (as, say, Q did over Trump) I would have worried more.

          Replying to @HeerJeet

          I enjoyed and retweeted Abramson’s tweets - they were both entertaining and thought provoking. And in the early years of the Trump chaos he provided a structure to the erratic events of the day. I view the threads as speculative narratives, not gospel. But I can see the danger.

          Agreed. Seth attempts to piece together events that need to be pieced together. The other option is to only listen to MSM where everything is 'bothsided' & solves nothing. All of a sudden the Trump-Russia stuff is being called a hoax just because there haven't been consequences.

          Resistance grifters absolutely had sway in high places. Twitters business model is partially based on ignoring blue check mark conspiracy theories related to Trump. CNN and MSNBC ran with a running loop of Resistance grifting as the basis of their programming for the last 4 years

          Well, there you go. Like you said, you didn't think. This tweet sounds like you can string big words together, but have no idea how actual thinking works. Would you accept this gibberish from others? It's childish, really.

          I have no idea that matters of fact you think Abramson made. The big picture is he-and the rest of the #Resistance were correct. The MSM quibblers were wrong

          I don't think Abramson was obviously nonsensical.
