My theory is that with the proliferation of Charlie Kirk & Ben Shapiro “debate me” discourse on college campuses + zoomer Twitch culture, debate went from high to low status

Park MacDougald @hpmcd1

My main objection to the Rogan episode is that I don't believe there's any point "debating" anyone, ever, about anything

This was the worst case scenario for Trump bungling trade. There are serious reasons why autos are a critical industry beyond just union jobs. I.e. we built tanks and B-24s on auto industry infrastructure. Now the nuance isn’t going to get totally lost in the backlash https://t.co/khg3oMiSNA

The industrial policy that was supposed to help these communities wasn’t up to the task and led to dumb tariffs Figuring out why is part of the state capacity + abundance agendas Plus, abundance isn’t mutually exclusive w/other critiques of what went wrong in the Midwest

This is the main street of the small town where I grew up in Iowa. It's dealing with a lot of issues. Many of those issues are common in rural communities. None of them have anything to do with zoning ordinances or building-construction red tape. https://t.co/p4zSyDZqcf

I'm sick of the "decades of Chinese cheating" excuses to defend Trump's approach. It's not 2014 anymore. Almost everyone agrees we mishandled China & trade. What's damning is that almost no one who takes our failure seriously is defending this past week's process and outcomes

Rachel Bovard @rachelbovard

It's 100% this. Lots of pablum about how things "should" work but very few arguments that address the incredibly distorted climate of global trade that actually exists -- including the decades of Chinese cheating through the WTO. A lot of insults and emoting, though.

The winner take all attention economy is optimized for aggressive, often anti-social behaviors Too many people are trying to impose their grand narratives of America to the exclusion of ideas that don’t fit We need more coalition-builders, but there isn’t much incentive now

kang @jaycaspiankang

A little weird that the big ideological fight amongst the liberal commentariat is antitrust vs. zoning deregulators. Not sure why those are mutually exclusive. Idk I think we should build a ton of more housing in the bay and I like Lina khan. Is this just intra Matt problems?
