    How are conservatives reacting to the MAGAbomber? In two contradictory ways. Many are declaring that the acts of one individual say nothing about their broader movement. Yet many implicitly acknowledge the opposite, by rushing into false-flag theories 1/https://www.weeklystandard.com/andrew-egger/the-arrest-of-bomber-cesar-sayoc-and-the-false-flag-conservatives …

        And no doubt we'll see a lot of double-think: an individual's actions say nothing, and also he was a deep-state plant. In any case, it's really important to understand how predictable the false-flag claims were -- because conspiracy theorizing is central to the modern right 2/

        After all, the deep state stuff comes from an ongoing right-wing meme. Also remember, it's more or less standard on the right to assert that thousands of scientists around the world are part of a conspiracy to fake evidence for climate change. 3/https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_warming_conspiracy_theory …

        And the conspiracy theorizing is itself part of an even broader attitude on the right: this is a movement that never accepts evidence that contradicts its preconceptions. Think about the way the GOP clings to belief in the magic of tax cuts in the teeth of experience 4/

        Remember when Jerry Brown raised taxes in CA, while Sam Brownback cut them in KS. CA was committing "economic suicide", said the right, while the KS tax cuts were a grand "experiment" that would validate supply-side economics. Um 5/pic.twitter.com/rWK9EEyJ0C

        Yet the GOP, including supposed moderates (there aren't any in real life) bought int claims that the Trump tax cut would create so much growth that it would pay for itself. This party that doesn't let evidence get in the way of prejudices -- and invents conspiracies as needed 6/

        My point is that it's all of a piece: there's a straight line running from voodoo economics, to climate change denial, to deep state paranoia and the false flag hysteria we're seeing this weekend. And pious appeals for civility are not going to change anything 7/

        There is a lot of political violence on both sides, but most of it is coming from Democrats, and they started it under Obama with the Ferguson and Baltimore riots.

        Our side must realize the right considers this a war. We need more LBJ and less Dukakis.
