      1. My disagreement with @mattyglesias here that I see grassroots mobilization by suburban warriors as potentially being a social movement. https://twitter.com/mattyglesias/status/863456263748943872 …

      2. One of the strengths right has had is their suburban warriors have existed as distinct group parallel to party & not controlled by party

      3. On right, the Phyllis Schlafly model (mobilizing by suburban women) has really pushed GOP: Goldwater, anti-ERA, anti-abortion, Tea Party

      4. Key to success of Tupperware Falangists is that their sheer persistence in goal of pushing GOP to the right.

      5. What GOP's suburban warriors realize is that activism builds on activism: creating a cadre that keeps fighting year & in out

      6. By bringing people together, activism created social cohesion and new visibility.

      7. Dems have had their own suburban warriors but they tend to be Mayfly movements that quickly disappear (anti-war for example).

          Don't think "suburban" is the key characteristic of successful right movements you cite. They are millenarian, apocalyptic

          8. Part of the promise of the Resistance is opportunity to build a more lasting political mobilization effort on the left.

          9. Reason Resistance has promise to be more lasting is sheer size of task: taking on not just Trump but larger system that created Trump

          Don't overlook the role of civil society institutions. Right has churches for constant reactivation. Left has transient campaigns & causes.

          E. Franklin Frazier said churches are both agencies of social control & arenas for political action. In white suburbs, that favors Right.
