As elsewhere in the world, the so-called populist revolt is being funded by plutocrats, often in the finance sector. https://t.co/B8MRaYl8fb

@HeerJeet Who’s funding the Leftists?

Point out *to their fans* that Jeet & other "liberals" push Koch-style NeoLiberal policies: loose borders, free trade, globalism. Undercut them *to their fans* as Big Biz stooges. MT @FreddyMagnus MT @HeerJeet [finally realizes plutocrats fund teaparty-style groups]

My confidential sources - which include @HeerJeet & @JonathanChait - have informed me that the upcoming Mueller report will result in an immediate impeachment for collusion! The report will be released in March so we're only a few weeks away! #TheResistance!

From @24aheaddotcom_
.@woke8yearold: @HeerJeet has lots of good opinions, all of which he blogs. He's never actually *done* anything; nothing he's ever said has had any impact on anything. If he were smart enough, he'd come up with smart, effective plans that'd undercut Trump. He just isn't capable.

Who is the writer who you most disagree with who you've learned the most from? For me: Hugh Kenner and F.A. Hayek.

@johnastoehr The autobiography of Fussell's ex-wife has some relevant stuff on that.

@HeerJeet What's your disagreement with Hugh Kenner?
24AheadDotCom_'s avatar
From @24aheaddotcom_
.@DavidDark: I have no idea who Hugh Kenner is, but who @HeerJeet disagrees with has no real bearing on anything. E.g., there are smart things he could have helped with that would have stopped or at least changed Trump. Instead, not one thing he's done has impacted Trump.
24AheadDotCom_'s avatar
From @24aheaddotcom_
.@johnastoehr: hey John, there are simple, immediately obvious (to me) thinks @HeerJeet could have done or could do now to undercut Trump. Like challenge Trump proxies on how a future Congress will just neglect/tear down Trump's "wall". That'd really undercut him.

From @24aheaddotcom_
.@KStreetHipster: has anything @HeerJeet has ever blogged had an impact on Trump? There are things he could do that'd have a devastatingly effective impact on Trump, why hasn't he done them? Isn't he just another grifter, like a Coulter with even less influence?

From @24aheaddotcom_
.@EmmettMiche11em: Trump shot someone on 5th Ave & is getting away with it. He supports *amnesty*. That's like if Bernie supported bump stocks. @CharlesPPierce @HeerJeet @EricLevitz etc simply aren't smart enough to take advantage of it by helping separate Trump from his base.

24AheadDotCom_'s avatar
From @24aheaddotcom_
.@rjjago: all @HeerJeet etc have said about the wall just helps Trump. That's just reality. Jeet could undercut Trump to his base if he pointed out *to them* that Congress would neglect/tear down the wall when Trump's out of office. That's the vulnerability. Has Jeet done that?
24AheadDotCom_'s avatar
From @24aheaddotcom_
At #TNR, @HeerJeet blogs "Trump, unrestrained, mocks Christine Blasey Ford". That's incredibly dim by Trump, but then again those like Jeet are even dimmer and even more deranged. They've never been able to undercut Trump in any way, have always just helped Trump.

From @24aheaddotcom_
.@armand odkos: in politics, Trump only cares about #MAGA. Best way to undercut him to them is to show them his plans are unimplementable. Eg, Trump "wall" would be torn down when he's out of office. Ask @HeerJeet why he's never tried to undercut Trump where he's most vulnerable.
