    My attempt to grapple with Corey Stewart--and how the incentive structure inside the GOP became perverse since I first got involved in the conservative movement. https://thebea.st/2MsqBmL?source=twitter&via=desktop … via @thedailybeast

        I really like your framing of the Breitbart faction as nerds, but what if one reason Trump’s base doesn’t budge is that many criticisms of him can be dismissed as nerdy? Foreign policy blunders, norm breaking, etc., all require absorbing details/history

        This artcle doesn't seem to understand the moms I know are Trump voters and are nice folks, until I cry over a blk man killed by police or the hour long 'what if' convo about what the guys in Starbucks could've done differently. Some of the 'cool kids' agreed with the far right.

        Your party has done this since the Southern Strategy, it is your fault, from Nixon and Atwater to Bannon and Trump it is a straight line. Stop lying to yourself you did this to the country.

        Great article. Do you think gerrymandering has helped feed this? By that I mean, if you pick your voters eventually your constituents become more strident as one-think feeds on itself. Or is gerrymandering a red herring? We blame the party but the customer is driving this.

        The GOP is equated with racism, bigotry and homophobia, especially by the younger generation. I think they’re right.

        But Matt for the last 8 years you wrote chapter and verse providing cover for the nastiness and authoritarianism that was lurking in the conservative movement for 50 years! Have some balls and own up to your part! @brhodes @NormOrnstein @SykesCharlie

        As a non-Virginian, I’ve tried to read up on Stewart to discover what’s so beyond the pale about him. I don’t like that he’s a Trump ally, and don’t like his immigration rhetoric, but that’s lamentably par for the course. What’s the specific deal with him?
