You either die an edgelord or live long enough to become the sensible moderate.

@DouthatNYT It’s not about being moderate …just what do you imagine these barkers have in mind ? Other than barking. This is all porn and I’m just calling out porn of different kinds

@bronzeagemantis Sorry you're a centrist wise man now this is how life goes.

@bronzeagemantis American Enterprise Institute Visiting Fellow Costin Alamariu. Serious Intralexual Costin Alamariu. Conservadork Emeritus Costin Alamariu. "Remember when there were reasonable moderate Republicans like Costin Alamariu?" It tolls for thee.

@DouthatNYT @Steve_Sailer @bronzeagemantis Not until your shop replaces David Brooks with @bronzeagemantis or @Steve_Sailer.

@DouthatNYT @bronzeagemantis I've been a centrist wise man for 30 years now.

@DouthatNYT @bronzeagemantis Ross, BAP has been consistent on this line for years. It’s in his book as well. You’re trying to be cute, but it just shows you haven’t been following the plot.

@DouthatNYT @bronzeagemantis You're very bad at trolling - it's because your norwood exposes your brain to the elements, slowing down your thought patterns

@DouthatNYT @bronzeagemantis He's always been fairly pragmatic in his approach to politics (ex: encouraging followers to enter government and take elections seriously). Do you actually read what he has to say or just what others say about him?

@DouthatNYT @bronzeagemantis BAP has maintained this style of pragmatic politics for years now, what are you mashing your gums about? https://theamericansun.substac...

@DouthatNYT @bronzeagemantis I hate when my mutuals argue

@DouthatNYT @bronzeagemantis BAP on Interesting Times when

@DouthatNYT @bronzeagemantis You should invite him on your interview show to discuss such matters

@DouthatNYT @bronzeagemantis Great have him on your podcast then

@DouthatNYT @bronzeagemantis "This guy isn't at all like the caricatured version of him in my head - he's a big phony!"

@DouthatNYT @bronzeagemantis Lol new political paradigm: Zohran - Left Bronze Age Pervert - Centre Fuentes - Right

@DouthatNYT @bronzeagemantis Never underestimate the resentment of the fat balding emasculated man

@DouthatNYT @bronzeagemantis This will sound surprising to those not really familiar with him but BAP has always been eminently realistic - far more so than his critics.

@DouthatNYT @bronzeagemantis This is hilarious

@DouthatNYT @bronzeagemantis Where/when did he ever talk about going to war against half the country?

@DouthatNYT @bronzeagemantis He’s always been a moderate centrist what are you talking about?

@DouthatNYT @bronzeagemantis Have him on the pod Ross

@DouthatNYT @bronzeagemantis The McLaughlin Groupchat

@DouthatNYT @bronzeagemantis It’s important to remember that, like all Straussians, BAP’s positions are instrumental rather than philosophical.

@DouthatNYT @bronzeagemantis I'm liking both sides of this exchange

@DouthatNYT @bronzeagemantis let's not argue like this in front of the women
