      On this Valentine's Day, let's stand in awe of the most intense love in the world, the love Nancy Pelosi has for the Republican Party.https://twitter.com/USATODAY/status/1360715132943405059 …

      This is a disingenuous thing to say. The US needs a viable center-right party of government, not least as a bulwark against radicals and fascists. That's what she's saying and I think you know that.

      Replying to @joshtpm

      After 43 Republican senators voted to acquit a president who fomented a riot against congress, I feel its important for Democratic leaders to hammer away at how Trumpized GOP has become & how distant any return to being a viable center-right party is.

      she's done a lot of that. there's really no contradiction to this. i think you're willfully misinterpreting her words for effect.

      I've admired -- and praised -- Pelosi for taking a hard stance against Marjorie Taylor Greene. But I think this rhetoric conjuring up a strong Republican party really feeds into voter illusions about a return to bipartisanship that undercut the Democrats.

          I think what she left unsaid and what you are using as a wedge point... is that she believes in the need for a strong R party... “but there is not one right now”.

          In her defense, she's old enough to recall the mischief of the Anti-Masonic party.

          I think I can synthesize your respective remarks here and say: It’s probably better that intellectuals and scholars like @dziblatt affirm the importance of a strong, small d democratic center-right party as a bulwark against proto-fascism than that center-left pols like Pelosi

          Replying to @yeselson @HeerJeet and

          A thing I think about is how ziblatt notes how the alternative to a strong Small D center right party is a higher chamber that’s broadly Undemocratic. We’re in that world and it’s a place that seems inescapable and like we’re staring down an abyss
