If NatCons take over the GOP (say, via a candidate like Hawley) what are the Paul Ryans & Grovers & NeverTrumpers going to do? Start more newspapers to get more op-ed columns? Seems like they are locked out in outer space (I know the feeling) …. https://t.co/qlUxsFOAcC

Whether or not he applied, he was at the White House. Did Trump mention unseemly demands for loyalty, etc? Yes? No? Interesting either way–Mueller was a potential witness in the case he's investigating. Seems like a conflict to me (quite apart from his relationship with Comey) https://t.co/Ut3Fzn6Amp

They weren't detained. They weren't arrested. They were questioned. "ICE officers confirmed the vehicle operators were not the subject sought and allowed them to depart, and shortly departed themselves."…'But she's pregnant!' You can't ask someone questions if they're pregnant? https://t.co/AugctQ3dFi

What were Republicans going to add to the stimulus bill that was so great? Seems to me you have to make that case. (Maybe they would have–certainly the bill was flawed https://t.co/NooqJOEx65.) https://t.co/8H50loIl17

Woodward's conclusion seems wrong in retrospect, no? We were heading into a deep recession at end of 2008. Obama did some necessary things (stimulus, auto bailout) and began a long, steady climb back. Hard to argue he made it worse https://t.co/oa6gkdzkjF

Makes you think the breach in the GOP between the NatCons (Warrenesque on outsourcing, against loose borders, accepting of much of big government) and the Paul Ryan/Grover Norquist establishment will be hard to paper over. Why bother? Find some Dems. https://t.co/qlUxsFOAcC https://t.co/MStWT8Yl5f

If I'm reading this right, the trends in the "Most Important Chart," (https://t.co/kENwohirwq: ) which showed Americans coming apart by education level, have finally begun to reverse under, um, Trump. Bottom rising, more equality. See Fig 4 here: https://t.co/rsC8jbs4cc

6) Some links:
Lincoln: https://t.co/ylXVpAOhHd
Brandeis: https://t.co/MvDgoNKLvZ

5) I'm accepting Wax's claim that she's talking about culture, not race or genetics. Good. The questions in 1 thru 4 remain, however.

4) Not clear whether left can still accept need for any core culture, however minimal. Or need for deliberate assimilation to whatever core they accept. Or acknowledgement that it will take time, and assimilation can be overwhelmed by numbers. But voters might.

3) Obviously the smaller the core of common culture you want, the easier the assimilation from a broad array of places. Lincoln seemed to demand only "love of freedom." Brandeis demands more, it looks like, and Amy Wax probably even more (no littering!)

2) Still must confront whether, even if we are open to anyone fron any part of the world, some cultures will assimilate in this way faster than others.

Notes about this synthesis: 1) Seems to wants way more common culture than mere "creedal" nationalism–more than buying core ideas of freedom, equality & rights. Cites Brandeis, who wants "fundamental" reorientation until "interests and affections have become deeply rooted here."

Tonelson proposes"synthesis": "if national conservatism wants to be truly national, and therefore, successful, it will have no choice but to rally round the view that anyone from any part of the world can become an American-if Americanizing them becomes a national priority again" https://t.co/ZBiMuQYO9n
