Wait. My Twitter Kids don't know what I'm doing when I'm not writing Twitter threads?

I've almost finished a series for middle school / high school called the Making of America.

I need you all busy because I don't want to have to write the Unmaking of America.

1/
Book #6 will be out in a few months: abramsbooks.com/product/thurgo…

The series tells American Constitutional law through overlapping biographies spanning American history.

Do NOT yawn!
(Also this year I'm doing a lot of voter protection work. I'll be in Georgia helping monitor the primary as a volunteer lawyer.)

Response to @AshaRangappa_ ’s first question.

I don't think it’s a shame spiral for most of the GOP leadership because I don’t think most of them (McConnell, McCarthy, Nunes, etc.) feel any shame.

Chris Christie told Colbert he's still a "fan" of Trumps . . .

1/
@AshaRangappa_ . . . even though he doesn’t approve of everything Trump does (like the lying). Many of them embrace what Trump stands for.

I’ll go farther. Many of them embrace what Putin stands for.

Here’s Katie Hopkins (with Coulter) praising Putin⤵️

@AshaRangappa_ Romney and Kasich feel shame—but they still vote GOP and support down ticket Republican candidates, and they clearly have little influence over the party.

The GOP got into this mess in the 1960s when they figured out there weren't enough traditional conservatives . . .

The study is here: cell.com/current-biolog… Conclusion: Conservatives are more fearful

I am not a psychologist so I can't answer questions about the amygdala.

I should be working but instead I'll tell an amusing story about one of my conversations with a Trump supporter . . .
1/ I’m 5 feet tall. The guy was at least 6’ 5. One of his legs probably weighs more than me.

He was the contractor who was supposed to replace the rotted door to the side of our garage when we were trying to buy our house.
2/ Aside: He figured I was probably a lib, so he tried to shock me by telling me about his gun collection.

I shrugged and smiled. (I make sure that I never live up to stereotypes when meeting MAGA people)

I wanted to replace with what was there: A pretty French door . . .

I can see @RadioFreeTom is trying to understand Democrats.

You see, Tom, big tents get messy.

Diverse coalitions are not efficient.

People in the big messy tent don't fall in line behind the message that the leaders think will win.

It's the nature of the beast.
@RadioFreeTom 1/ NYU psychologist Jon Haidt has a wonderful lecture about the differences between liberals and conservatives. They have different ways of thinking.

The GOP, however, has morphed into a reactionist, right wing authoritarian party.

See Stenner and Haidt's essay in ⤵️
@RadioFreeTom 2/ Haidt’s conclusion: Liberals and conservatives can form a balance. Give and take between the two is healthy.

The problem is that the Republican Party, ever the past few decades, has morphed into a reactionary (or right wing authoritarian) party.

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

How to sell 1000 copies of your books in 6 months of less.
A Thread.

1. I had just completed my book. It took me several months to write a manuscript I was satisfied with. Now I faced the hurdle of selling the book

This is how I did it. You can do the same.
#writing
2. "How are you going to sell this book?", a friend asked me. I didn't have an answer. I had used a lot of money to produce the book and I was almost broke. It even got to the point that I almost cursed the day I decided to write that book.
#writing
#sell
3. Nobody I knew had written and sold books before. The only people I knew who wrote and sold books were pastors with a large congregation who bought their books. I didn't have a church, I was not close to anyone who had a large church, so I was in a predicament.

Joseph Stalin
@StalinIsBack
1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.

💪A thread on amazing Twitter threads 😍👇
In the process of revamping my #Twitter profile (dormant earlier), I have come to appreciate the wonderful underutilized platform it is!
Some threads contain crisp knowledge capsules that can help many. Starting 1 on such curated content
1. I largely rely on this: threadreaderapp.com to find content
2. What I wish to share is what coincides largely with my interests- #Learning, #Investing, #Behavioralpsychology (#mentalmodels, #bias, etc), #Businessbooks, Industry insights/case studies, Life experiences, etc
3/n
 While it will be difficult to structure the order of content here, I will try to block threads by category (as noted above & more). Feel free to comment with any good thread that you would have come across. Cumulative learning always helps.
