G.D.
I’ve seen this kind of thinking when I used to argue with white extremists on twitter some years ago-that white people are naturally racist and that if they are anti-racism then someone or something must be brainwashing them
So this is absolutely an attack on democracy, but I am struck by the sequencing, because it doesn't resemble - to me at least - the normal sequencing for an authoritarian takeover. But I think it makes sense given a conspiratorial and inaccurate view of where liberal support comes from. 1/
What's sad is that Twitter was possible one of the greatest concentration of brilliant people-from writers, artists, scientists, musicians, etc and he ruined it. Such a shame.
I cannot over-emphasize the colossal loser energy of taking a platform where once the biggest stars in the history of popular culture voluntarily posted original content every day because they enjoyed it into a pyramid scheme where the worst dipshits on earth pay to be fake friends with each other.
