      Jeet Heer Retweeted Jonathan Chait

      There's a difference between criticizing contemporary American liberals and being illiberal. Person being critized here -- @JedediahSPurdy -- is NOT illiberal in any way but a liberally inclined social democrat.https://twitter.com/jonathanchait/status/996819011353620482 …

      I should add: I've been very critical myself of leftists who downplay dangers of Trump's authoritarianism. But not because they are illiberal but because they are, on this point, analytically wrong. No need to throw around word "illiberal" which confuses issue.

          Are you conflating "normal" with "good"?

          <Andy from Parks & Rec meme> "I don't know the difference between liberal, neo-liberal & illiberal, and at this point I'm too afraid to ask."

          That confusion is intentional. Centrist media is 100% committed to keeping the left as far out of the national discourse as possible. "Illiberal", whether accurate or not, is just another way of conveying to squishy liberals that we should continue to be shut out.

          I am afraid if your goal is to stop left at all cost it is absolutely necessary to throw around illiberal.

          Trumps authoritarianism is dangerous for Americans but his incompetence has opened up needed space for a multipolar international order.

          Every one of Chait’s pieces seem to start with “Not to exaggerate the threat.” Then why the hell am I reading about this non-threat?

          Chait often reveals massive gaps in his education. Or perhaps is an incapacity to assimilate ideas that conflict with his "coming-of-age" as a journalist while working at Marty Peretz's version of TNR.
