    Michael Tracey Retweeted Charles C. W. Cooke

    The paradox: despite its silliness, Political Twitter has real influence in how politics and media work in this country. So its descent into nonstop hysterics has only worsened the elite disconnect that was exposed so palpably in 2016https://twitter.com/charlescwcooke/status/1011216626396606466 …

    Charles C. W. CookeVerified account @charlescwcooke
    Political Twitter has never been sillier, never been more hysterical, and never been less like the real world outside of it. It was always a bubble, but now it’s a bubble floating off in space, millions of miles above the subjects it’s discussing. It’s a video game.

        Michael I want political twitter and people alike to be standing up for principle. Not leftists tweeting out the right and punching left, or falling into stoic acceptance of “political realism.” Have conviction.

        Even if these people have no conviction to do anything beyond lip service, The Reasonable Adults on the Left are losing moral high ground to people with worse politics. Tho I don’t know anymore. The elite outlet of apartheid & broken windows benefits calling lib/left hysterical

        They're out of touch regardless, so it's either @SalenaZito class at Harvard approach or crumbling empire.

        Yes and yes. Level of discourse in downward spiral as hysteria rises. Disturbing.

        Yes & no...elite stays in its bubble. But the non-elites can quickly see through the fake spin... Can see Senator Schumer’s 2009 speech at Georgetown Law opposing illegal immigration. Media no longer controls the narrative. That’s why they try to drive emotions...prevent thought.

        It's not a paradox. Politics is petty, combative, and emotional. Incidentally, Twitter thrives on those attributes.

        Nonstop hysterics will continue until folks become convinced that that particular tactic doesn't work.
