He says this as though conservative think tanks like CEI. AEI, or Heartland were ever anything more than propaganda mills denying science and evidence in the service of far right wing policy.
They laid the groundwork and provided the fodder for today's conspiracy theorists.https://twitter.com/JYSexton/status/1180145468568936450 …

I say this to point out that they were propaganda and led to this. Read it again.

In fact, reading it again and again, I still don't see that.

I’m currently writing a book about how the propaganda of think tanks and gamesmanship led to the rift in political reality that got us here. It was the intention of this tweet. Sorry you didn’t see it.

There's no link to any text like this in any of your thread, unless I missed it, and the thread itself was ambiguous on this.

I just posted a screenshot from a chapter of a book I’m writing that shows exactly the intent of what I was saying. I’m sorry you read it differently. I was responding to your misreading of the tweet to clarify.

I’m glad you are writing this book. Don’t forget the ACSH. But it was unclear from your thread. Sorry if we missed context, we are all allies in this war.

Yep. ACSH has dropped all pretense of being anything other than a right wing science denialist astroturf group.
