.@JeffMessineo: @JamesFallows & NPR are just entertainment for those who already dislike Trump. They've only ever *helped* Trump by being a tantruming opposition. It's always been incredibly easy to undercut Trump where it counts - to his base - but they obviously aren't capable.

.@JamesFallows is so afraid of questions he won't allow comments. He could easily ask a Trump proxy tough questions (written by others), but he's afraid of that too. MT @Revivalist_1925 We can push [Covid19 issue] the front if we create a tidal wave of questioning about testing

.@rusteenh: the more fundamental cause is lack of open debate, & those who enable groups that are allergic to debate (Trump, @nprfreshair, MSM, Dem/GOP leaders, etc). If NPR had ever asked a Trump proxy a tough Socratic question about policy, Trump would be a *lot* better.

.@FelinaBlanc: whether Trump did/didn't do what @nprfreshair accuses him of, he's getting away with it. That's because people like you enable worthless entertainers like NPR, rather than really pressing them to finally do their jobs & ask leaders tough policy questions.

Trump won & will win again because of those like Fallows. They simply aren't smart enough to figure out how to undercut Trump in ways that'd undercut him to his fans. MT @JamesFallows [Trump lies, I tells you!] MT @ec_blueearbooks [FOAF claims he almost joined Nirvana]

.@TeresaKopec: you pretend Obama fans accepted slightly-tough questioning of their idol when that's completely wrong. They reacted the same way Trump & #MAGA do now. Also, @JamesFallows pushes anti-American NeoLiberal policies that led directly to Trump winning.

@pmohme @JamesFallows I think $1 billion is a pretty good starting point, esp. in an era of low inflation.

@edbott @JamesFallows maybe so, but 65% is flat out confiscatory...and won't affect most ultra-rich who create foundations...

@JamesFallows @edbott you mean most of the 20th century...extended Depression (1930s) and stagflation (1970s) resulted.

@pmohme @jamesfallows Well, that’s a fascinating read but has nothing to do with estate taxes. It argues for indexing marginal tax rates.
