During Biden you loved to claim that economic sentiment had detached from inflation, but now we’re seeing them moving in unison despite a completely supplicant media and social media landscape. You’re just completely disinterested in evidence that contradicts your thesis.

Approximately 3 in 4 republicans have believed climate change is a hoax dating back 15 years.

Matt Yglesias is a Harvard legacy admit who has pretty not subtly espoused racism his entire life. Do you think this guy had to be hypnotized into racism by social media, or is it possible the racism convinced him the anti-elite language was meaningless and not a policy threat to him personally?

Meanwhile, these guys convincing themselves Biden was “just old” despite him visibly dropping frames in front of a 1/4 of Americans remains a great example of genuine self imposed social media hypnosis.

Here’s some recent inflation and economic sentiment data, in this world where we have apparently completely detached any kind of quantitative relationship between underlying variables and opinion.

Yeah how else would this illustrious pundit and go to political adviser for Joe Biden have ended up hanging out with gutter racists if not for the deleterious effects of social media?

The claim you repeatedly made was that economic sentiment was almost entirely a product of shared delusion rather than inflation, controllable by right wing media. Here’s what happened when Trump caused inflation to spike, even with supplicant media.

The paid shills at BPI are mad their plan to force a billionaire republican on the city of Boston didn’t work, and are lashing out accordingly. You’d think this kind of humiliation would send them slinking back into their holes for a while but they never had any shame or self respect to begin with.

Notice the rapid two step here from “Democrats loosened laws and allowed uncontrolled asylum” to “I heard people say they supported those things.” Literal Fox News brain. Incurable.

Matt is so disinterested in genuine scholarship that the entirety of his scholarly journal contribution is a 3 page case for doing more studies. Yglesias is just a James Lindsay for the crowd dumb enough to read NYT op-eds.

You spent two years insisting there was no relationship between inflation and economic sentiment, that this was entirely driven by media narratives. We have a live experiment where a President has completely servile media and is lighting the economy on fire. Sentiment dropped ~25pts.

You can say it’s dumb and you’d be right, but consumer sentiment was high when inflation was low and then went down when it increased and then went up when it went down and then went down when it went up. The @whstancil.bsky.social thesis is the media environment determines all. Doesn’t seem true!

I think there’s probably a better messenger for this anti-violence sentiment than the people who argue that the proper response to roving ICE gangs kidnapping and torturing immigrants is “shut up unless it polls well.”

I mean, this was the situation heading into the election year. Collins has approximately negative charisma. They had an enormous tailwind and Schumer somehow turned that into a 10 point loss during a strong Democratic year.

This is just an insane, brazen lie by @mayorwu.boston.gov, who just overruled parents near the sight of the last tragedy to keep Hyde Park Ave dangerous, has made it more dangerous for children to use downtown bikelanes, and refuses to institute broad intersection daylighting.

Hey @vituperativeerb.bsky.social just wanted to give a big shoutout for somehow attracting the pro-sexual harasser, Gaza starvation truther crowd with these tweets. Impressive to have an opinion so dumb someone like that nods their head approvingly.
