      1. Harry Jaffa & Allan Bloom were once the best of friends, collaborators on a book on Shakespeare they dedicated to their shared mentor: "Our Teacher, Leo Strauss." After a bitter fallout, Jaffa would pen a poisonous review suggesting gay men like Bloom deserved to die of AIDSpic.twitter.com/3VqDZH6cxp

      2. The break-up of the Jaffa/Bloom friendship had more than personal ramifications. It became the focal point of a wider split between the Straussian movement and, ultimately, the Republican Party.

      3. Like hip-hop, Straussians are defined by a coastal split. Jaffa's school (West Coast Straussians) have long been aligned with hard right movement conservatism. Bloom's school (East Coast Straussians) gravitate towards the more establishment foreign policy wing of GOP.

      4. During the George W. Bush administration much was written (some of it by me) about the East Coast Straussian inflection of foreign policy hawkery. Less notice has been the role West Coast Straussians have played inside Trump administration as ultra-nationalists.

      5. The West Coast Straussians say the East Coast Straussians are nihilists. The East Coast Straussians reply the West Coast Straussians are fanatics. My compromise is to recognize both are right.

      6. I sat down for a great podcast with @willwilkinson about Leo Strauss, the esoteric and the exoteric, the homosocial and the homoerotic, nihilists & fanatics, & the roots of GOP extremism.https://jeetheer.substack.com/p/podcast-the-deep-roots-of-gop-extremism?r=bh54&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email&utm_source=twitter …

          Thinkpiece on the fate of the country turning on the intra-GOP struggle between east coast Straussians (neocons, W administration) & west coast Straussians (Claremont Institute Trumpists). Maybe not so much “thinkpiece” as “conspiracy potboiler suspense novel.” Whaddayathink?

          Will & I talk about how easily Straussians lend themselves to fiction.

          Looking forward to viewing this later today. Here is a short piece (part 3 in a series) where I touch on Popper and the Straussians.https://www.indarktimes.com/poppers-historical-sociology/ …

          Just started and the two of you made a good point about erotic love is not just sexual it is a key aspect of some people on their philosophical quest. Even if it is all Hyperreality in the end 🥲pic.twitter.com/Jj8kUFcJHc

          Just realized while listening Haidt’s Coddling of the American Mind title is a riff off Bloom’s Closing of the American Mind. *sigh*
