Twitter has performed a public service that may have saved the republic

Cheeto Benito will be too busy trying to circumvent the Twitter ban to foment last-minute violence.

1. But they caused a lot of damage

3. My OP was not intended seriously

It’s just a riff on rump’s ban(s) from Twitter. True, they are culpable for previously allowing him to run amok.

2. The role of social media in this is huge

IG, Face, TikTok, Youtube, etc etc it is unreal. I keep thinking of Rwanda - that was fomented basically by hate radio. So many cesspools these days, or more like tarpits people fall into cuz they like the smell, then they can't get out it just sucks them in.

4. I should have made it clear that I was attempting to be entertaining

I’m certainly aghast at the negative influence of social media. Perhaps I should just delete this post.

5. Well it's still a good conversation even if you meant it to be funny.

7. Thanks for that

There is a grain of truth in my OP, I believe. Small minds are easily distracted by small things.

6. No no don't delete at all, I totally agree with your post

8. Thank you

9. I'll give them no credit whatsoever.

They should have banned him long ago. They gave him a platform for his hate speech for way too long.

11. It's just hyperbole used for comedic effect

I have no respect for Twitter and how they provided rump with a fetid megaphone. It’s hard to deny that the ban will keep him busy, however.
