    I don't know if this is an outlier, but I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't. Politics isn't a classroom with some external teacher giving objective grades to the best student. You make a case, maybe you convince people. You don't, then the one making a case convinces people.https://twitter.com/samstein/status/1240946508570206210 …

        Also, I know people quickly forgot but we spent January/February being told not to panic, what about the flu etc. by many liberal/mainstream pundits/outlets. It probably feels like a black swan event (though it is anything but) to many. Now we're arguing the name on his turf.

        zeynep tufekci Retweeted Dr. Ryan Straight (virtually)

        No. Not as long as it feels like and is presented as a "black swan" event, which it was by almost all media including media/pundits people think of as liberal until March, basically. "Terrible random event happens, why blame one person?"https://twitter.com/RyanStraight/status/1240999951607324672 …

        Saw someone tweet that it's all the messaging and the approval will go down once people are one or two degrees of separation away from a death. Think that's true?

        If you're not super engaged it's also hard to differentiate between levels of government. Some folks are probably giving Trump credit for action taken by governors and state public health departments.

        The truly concerning part is that so many people are unable or unwilling to distinguish (or even think about distinguishing) a good case from a bad case. I know that distinction is itself influenced by many factors, but some philosophically rigorous standards and & do apply.
