No one understands #CaliforniaRecall > @jeanguerre who wrote the book on Stephen Miller ("Hatemonger"), mentored by GOP frontrunner Larry Elder. Her @latimes columns have been the most prescient guide in the recall's last months. My @Salon interview: 1/17 https://www.salon.com/2021/09/13/california-recall-jean-guerrero-interview/

@cliffschecter @Peter_Turchin Peter doesn't deal with the psychology. But you can see how they fit together from my review of *Ages of Discord* & my reporting on @M_B_Petersen's work on the "need for chaos," both here: https://t.co/wTL2hlQdbA

Watergate: A New History

Garrett M. Graff
Paul RosenbergPaul Rosenberg

@MattGrossmann @NiskanenCenter @eh_miller It didn't start with the Birchers, though. Conspiracism was central to anti-New Deal politics in the 30s & got new blood with folks like Nixon after WWII. McCarthy cribbed Nixon's homework & Garrett Graff's new “Watergate: A New History,” centers Nixon's conspiracist mindset.

@edroso IIRC it wasn't until Mike Davis's City of Quartz really shook things up that Kotkin's veener seriously cracked. But after it did....

Upton Sinclair
Paul RosenbergPaul Rosenberg

I have 100% the opposite view: "If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything." You really think I.F. Stone wasn't a journalist? Frederick Douglas wasn't a journalist? Ida B. Wells wasn't a journalist? Ida Tarbell wasn't a journalist? Upton Sinclair? https://t.co/aEwnCB2C8b
