I’ve been on Twitter a lot lately and I have some good news: Elon Musk has just given a gift to Daily Kos. After he announced that he bought Twitter, many smart people are threatening to leave. And when they say that, I tell them to join me and others who believe in Democracy should consider joining Daily Kos.
I’ve just started this movement on Twitter and already I’m getting very positive responses. People like John Dean, to name a few. They believe as I do, that Elon will allow Donald Trump back on Twitter because Freedumb and all. The MAGAs are salivating. They can’t wait for their Dear Leader to start tweeting again. Trust me, this will happen. Of course, Trump has issued a statement that he will not come back on Twitter. We all know that Trump is a man of his word, right?
I believe that Twitter will become a bad place for Democrats and Progressives, and they will eventually start to migrate to Daily Kos, if for nothing else, but to maintain their sanity. If you think Facebook is bad, wait until you see Twitter a few months from now. It will become a toxic brew full of racism, sexism, and transphobia. Elon Musk himself has tweeted jokes about the trans community and each time he does, he gets close to 1 million Likes on Twitter. Ted Cruz is very happy that Musk has acquired Twitter, although he embarrasses himself on Twitter, like the time Tucker Carlson said, “No one embarrasses himself on Twitter like I do.” Ted Cruz replied, “Hold my milk.” Tucker tweeted back, “Ted, this isn’t milk.”
It will be a place where disinformation will flourish, like Covid disinformation, which will make Covid go viral again. It will be like Facebook. Facebook always asks what I’m thinking. Twitter always asks what I’m doing. Google always asks where I am. The internet is starting to resemble my wife. Eventually, Elon will also buy Facebook and YouTube along with Twitter. I’m guessing he’ll call it YouTwitFace.
And I have joked back, which will likely trigger him to ban me. I said, “Elon, I’m a hairdresser, but I will not give you any plugs for buying Twitter.” I also tweeted, “Elon, I heard that you’ll be opening a fancy restaurant in Mars. I’m sure the food will be great, but I prefer a restaurant with some atmosphere.” And I’m just getting warmed up before he bans me. And it’s unfortunate that I will soon be banned. I’ve developed an addiction to Twitter. It’s so bad that I told my doctor I’m addicted to Twitter. He replied, “Sorry Frank, I don’t follow you.”
Anyway, I expect a lot of new people will start joining us here at Daily Kos. Many of them are great thinkers, like most people here. And the good news is that I will not ask kos for a referral fee.
But how will you welcome these new members? I trust that you will give them a warm welcome, like I will. Of course, any MAGAs that join will be quickly be exposed and bojo’ d, as they always are. We do have standards, you know.
