Who’s tweeting about (well, mostly railing against) the “permanent political class”? Let’s find out.

cc: @ZellaQuixote
@ZellaQuixote We downloaded all tweets containing the phrase “political class” and did some analysis on both that dataset and the subset containing “permanent political class”. The first tweet using the latter phrase is an excerpt of an interview with Glenn Greenwald.

@ZellaQuixote Here are the 20 accounts whose tweets containing “political class”/“permanent political class” have drawn the most retweets. Right-wing accounts (red) greatly outnumber left-wing accounts (blue).
@ZellaQuixote Breitbart is the most frequently-linked media source in tweets containing either “political class” or “permanent political class”, and fringe right-wing comprise a significant portion of the links overall, especially from the “permanent political class” tweets.
@ZellaQuixote Similarly, the hashtags used in the profiles of the accounts talking about the [permanent] political class are overwhelmingly right-wing, with #MAGA being the most common and #KAG, #Trump2020, #2A, #TCOT, and others appearing prominently as well. #FBPE and#Resist are exceptions.
@ZellaQuixote Ironically, the most retweeted recent critic of the “permanent political class” is @GOPLeader Kevin McCarthy, who has held state or federal office for nearly two decades. Perhaps those parroting his supposed opposition to the “permanent political class” have missed the hypocrisy?
