As a never-conservative, I find your take on the scum that has staked its claim on conservative values valuable. You and I may see government the same, but we see the marmalade blob and it's trolls and fans the same. I am your ally in this. Let's get through this dung heap of ignorance, OK?
I absolutely refuse to call it X .. Twitter it was and Twitter it will always be. I have had MAGA idiots trying to get me wound up today, my response has been, well, bless your little heart, I’ll pray for you.. seems to shut them down.. so far
And I own a "Live well, laugh often, love much" sign that has great history for me. And am a left of Bernie..anti Zionist Jew active in local grassroots after all these years..the sign? Try it sometime. Living my best life..amidst the carnage
Snark 4 snark feeds the beast. Here's an idea..just let go..or block quietly. ( Btw serious science did confirm intensive UV does kill Covid so try not to sweep everything up with the nonsense).
Other than that avoiding those infected by sociopathic narcissists, as well as the toxic paterfamiliais is the best treatment to avoid "psychological infection". Next phase isolate the toxic host". Btw2..the wrong Donald died.
Twitter or X, is what you make of it. It's the community you build. So of your experience sucks, it's simply that the people you follow started to suck.
Well done, Rick! I also block 90 percent of the accounts that push the paid ads on Twitter because they’re usually promoting MAGA or far right right stuff.
I've learned blocking and or ignoring saves me so much grief. They're all too far gone to worry about anyways. Nothing but bad faith arguments and hatred. For my sanity the block feature on ALL platforms has been liberally used and for all the reasons you've so eloquently outlined. Thanks for doing that btw.
Rick, I love this post. Especially the link to the Tarpeian Rock info. Such great parallels to the challenges we face today.
"According to this tale, a young Roman maiden named Tarpeia betrayed her city during a conflict with the Sabines, some of Rome’s oldest enemies. Tempted by the prospect of wealth, she promised to open the gates of Rome to the Sabine invaders. In exchange for this, the Sabines had promised Tarpeia to gift her the things they wore on their arms. Tarpeia believed these to be golden bracelets worn by the Sabines."
Sometimes I just read through the threads on Twitter and randomly pick MAGAts and block them, for many or ANY of the reason(s) you just listed. Same on Facebook. They're really getting g stupid on Twitter, and I mean DUMB!

"Human-flounder hybrid Charlie Kirk."
I'm dead!
I call it eXTwit.
Just because “none of the above” appeals to me.
Feel free to use it too.
Darn. I’m almost tempted to go on xitter [sh] to not be blocked by you for I am none of those things.
Ditto! 😂

I call it xitter, as in full of xit.
