Tl;dr Twitter has become a propaganda machine for republicans.

Edit: to make this comment long enough to be posted I’m adding some stuff about how Elon Musk will be remembered for 1000 years as one of the men who destroyed American democracy.

We were beaten by incels. That should be embarrassing for all of us.

I genuinely do not understand why anyone continues to use that site. The most common answer I receive when I ask this question is, "well, my favorite artist is on twitter"

ok, why are your favorite artists on there? I don't hang out at nazi bars, and if I found out my favorite artists were hanging out at nazi bars, they would not be my favorite artist anymore.
