      I see reaction to this column (based on my new book) divided between liberals saying “Duh, what took you so long” and conservatives saying “When did you go off your meds.” A sign of our widening partisan divide: what liberals think is obvious most conservatives don’t see at all.https://twitter.com/MaxBoot/status/1049451517907005440 …

      As I look back with the clarity of hindsight, I am convinced that coded racial appeals had at least as much, if not more, to do with the electoral success of the modern GOP than all of the policy proposals crafted by well-intentioned analysts like me. https://wapo.st/2y5YDaY

      My deconversion took a decade. It began with the embarrassment I felt over the batshit crazy reaction of conservatives to Clinton's election, accelerated through Gingrich, impeachment, and the sliming of McCain in 2000 by conservatives. The invasion of Iraq was the last straw.

          I know, which is why I can understand where Max is coming from. However, I'm also a little hard on him because what was my final straw (the invasion of Iraq), Max supported. Also, the Republican Party is so much more obviously batshit crazy now than it was 15 yrs. ago.

          At the core of conservatism is the preservation of privilege. Fiscal conservatism is a canard. No conservative president and/or congress has ever balanced a budget, Reagan raised taxes 11 times, and tripled the deficit. Under Bush-Cheney we were told ”deficits don't matter” /1

          Replying to @gkfahnbulleh @gorskon and

          The GOP insisted on deficit neutral spending under Obama. Under Trump the tax break gave $1.5T to the wealthy and the GOP wants to cut $1.5 T from Medicare and Social security. Give away $1.5B to farmers. Fiscal conservatism has always been about CONSERVING govt /2

          There remains the dark shadows cast by swiftboating. Diminishing, in complete daylight, actual military action by cowards and liars, rewarded by success. Someone convened a meeting of adults & proposed that. Simply impossible to imagine, yet it's a building block of today.
