Summary:

David French is a writer at National Review who was floated as a possible challenger for President in 2016. As can be seen below, I tried to get him to at least try to reduce Donald Trump's popularity. He decided to do things his way, with predictable results.

.@justin_hart: in their blog, @heritage says "We will not tolerate this type of censorship & will stand side by side with other cons experiencing similar challenges". So, they'll only defend censored *cons*, not everyone else. That marginalizes them & they can't figure it out.

.@Brian_Dell: Warren is extremely vulnerable to her base over her pro-Big Biz immigration stance (that's like if Trump wanted to ban guns). GOP agrees w/ her so they make it about personal junk like "Pocahantas". @kenvogel won't either: he's owned by Slim. Raise the bar, Brian.

As a supposed lawyer, define "alien" for us. Is it used in the USC? Are various euphemisms adequate substitutes? What's the purpose ($) of those euphemisms? MT @ToddWNoelle [to some David French BS about storming Area 51] At least it’s not drag queens reading books to aliens!

As the data at my pinned tweet shows - real, verifiable data - Twitter heavily censors *all* kinds of users, not just the small # of U.S. cons. You're both worthless to tens of millions MT @DavidAFrench MT @pnjaban [French is a Vichy con; first social media came for the cons...]

.@paulosophia: Tucker pretends to oppose NeoLiberal (loose borders, free trade, globalism) policies. The same policies GOP/Dems/MSM/etc/etc push because they're puppets of the wealthy. Those leading the charge after Tucker are puppets of the wealthy too.

From @24aheaddotcom_
.@varohaub: the ways to reduce gotcha! include: 1. A smart, sane, patriotic, big tent opposition. @DavidAFrench & his lib opp nummers always think in partisan terms. 2. Socratic debate about real policies. Do you see French or *anyone else* in the public eye pushing that?

From @24aheaddotcom_
.@BeingKimmieToo: if @DavidAFrench were really sincere about holding Trump accountable, he could have done it already by urging engaging Trump in Socratic debate about policy. French can't even conceive of doing that. As a result he's never had any impact on Trump whatsoever.

It would have been incredibly easy for leading opponents to engage fiscal cons in Socratic debate & show them wrong. Why could none of them do it? MT @treberney [to @DavidAFrench: (r/w yakker grifters)]... Fix this dangerous concept that social infrastructure is bad

.@DavidAFrench wants Alex Jones to be banned, but only over libel. Not libel as determined by a court, but by #Twitter (which admits lying to millions of their users & can't even determine the language of a tweet), etc. He's not anti-censorship, just pro-crazy ideas.

David French is right, as he usually is. Thread. https://t.co/RrSOsG1blY

From @24aheaddotcom_
The solution is Socratic questioning, something you're both trained in. You could eg use it to show Trump Wall unimplementable & SJWs wrong. It'd expose CNN foodfights & MAGA/resist childishness. When will you do it? MT @EsotericCD @DavidAFrench is right [about #civility]

From @24aheaddotcom_
Because impotently scaring people to take their money is about all cons are good at, @DavidAFrench (following Gladwell) thinks mass shootings might just be a "least comforting" copycat cycle. It's certainly not the culture. #MAGA #resist
