      This tweet demonstrates 1) why the media's reputation is in the toilet and 2) why Trump won in 2016 and is in great shape for 2020. https://twitter.com/TheAtlantic/status/823172067038261248 …

      @varadmehta This conflates "obstruction," which is a process word about Congress, w "resistance," the self-selected word of progressives ...

          I don't think we described the tea party as obstruction. Wasn't it "protest"?

          one of the problems with sweeping generalizations is there are often so many exceptions it falls apart entirely

          Generalizations sure. But not true to say Tea Party was labeled "obstruction." Just not true.

          FWIW I think media calling Tea Party a grassroots uprising, etc, at the time, was correct.

          ... to characterize their post-election movement. The equivalent would be the (original, not Congress) Tea Party movement, imho.

          That's right. It also assumes the inherent legitimacy of the process to date. We still don't know.

          I think the question is will media portray Democratic opposition in congress as obstruction. @jaketapper @varadmehta
