My take on #GE2020 and a ‘nationalist moment’. Tweet added by Ben Tonra @Bentonra

@Bentonra @TheAtlantic @anneapplebaum Very nice piece, Ben. But who chose that image to go with it, I wonder? You set up a careful analysis of voter concerns and preferences independent of ‘the past’, yet the photo seems to undercut the point.

Irish twitter trying to convince people abroad (though presumably mostly themselves) that a huge vote for extreme nationalists has nothing to do with nationalism is a sight to behold.
