If Hollywood screenwriters had cast and scripted this sequence they would have been accused of hyperbole.
Seriously, if SNL did this verbatim for its cold open, conservative culture warriors would be loudly yelling about unfair stereotypes.
In conclusion, I presume that all these people will be hosting their own shows on Newsmax or OANN by the end of the week.

One of my stress dreams is seeing an article like this about my own professional oeuvre.
“A review of his professional history, as well as interviews with more than a half-dozen political scientists, show that Mr. Drezner is not the seasoned political science scholar he plays on TV. He has never published in the American Political Science Review. What a loser.”
I live in mortal terror of referee reports as brutal as this @politico story about Sidney Powell: “At least twice, Powell has sued on behalf of a party that did not agree to be a part of the case.” politico.com/news/2020/12/0…

As the spouse of a social worker let me assure you that remote therapy is absolutely therapy and perhaps you should STFU about it right goddamn now.
Also, as someone who is doing online instruction for grad students, it absolutely is a form of learning. It’s imperfect and suboptimal compared to in-person instruction, but it’s still teaching. Jeff’s point about online learning has more validity for younglings.
The frustrating thing for everyone involved is that online anything is, on the whole, just less efficient. Which means folks like my wife and I are working harder and nonetheless providing a less-than-ideal service. Still, contra Jeff, it’s better than nothing.

I’m glad you asked Erick, because this attempt —which you and other conservatives have made — to make a false equivalence between 2016 and 2020 is worth examining in more detail. 1/
Let’s focus on the most obvious difference: Hillary Clinton conceded the 2016 race within hours or the networks calling it. We are now approaching two weeks between a similar network call and Trump refusing to concede. 2/
Furthermore, by and large Democrats did not sabotage the transition period. Obama’s GSA ascertained the result for Trump almost immediately. Democrats in Congress did not en masse urge Clinton to litigate the outcome. FFS, Clinton attended the inauguration. 3/

Oh dear. But this reminds me of my own Hanover Inn story, which involves the zombie book and is awesome. A thread: (1/8)
This was a decade ago, at the end of an all-day U.S. foreign policy conference at Dartmouth. A few of us headed over to the Hanover Inn for a beer. Some colleagues asked me what else I was working on. I started telling them about the written-but-not-published zombie book... (2/8)
At that particular moment, Theories of International Politics and Zombies had passed peer review at @PrincetonUPress but still needed approval from the board. Ordinarily, that’s pro forma, but for the zombie book I was a touch nervous about its... unorthodox nature. (3/8)

I’ll believe that Trump is growing into the presidency when his staff stops talking about him like a toddler.
