this was pretty irritating to read tbh "I'm not going to talk about that" and everything else is obviously code for "obviously I hate this guy leave me alone" why don't you leave him alone journo's or ask about anything literally anything more interesting than Thathttps://twitter.com/JeffreyGoldberg/status/1167010256989433856 …

interesting tho his view is tacit but quite clear what would an anti-Trump person gain from making it explicit? what happens, socially, when someone says the thing that everyone knows they're thinking?

I doubt anyone's minds would change Is there a potential cascade that could fall out of it? I bet not here. A prominent person speaking out only matters when it's (i) new information, or (ii) what everyone is thinking but nobody saying But many people are saying Trump is dumb.

I should amend this--a prominent person speaking out carries weight when the message is directed at a small group of other people with power, and maybe some related circumstanceshttps://twitter.com/eigenrobot/status/1167254078482595842?s=19 …
