The most beautiful and most terrifying Twitter experience of my life one that made me laugh so hard I got hiccups, while also convincing me that humans are destined to obliterate themselves began with several small jokes like this a few days before the 2016 election:
It ended this past week with an unhealthy 84-tweet long thread by me and a quote tweet by Gen. Michael Flynns brother Joseph, informing his 400,000 Twitter followers of my malfeasance:
Everything in between happened because the right wing has a problem: They know that the 2020 election was stolen but, despite their mighty efforts, have failed to uncover any evidence for this. Granted, this isnt a huge problem for them, since they care about evidence about as much as the Dalai Lama cares about getting on Bumble.
Still, theyve been experiencing some modest cognitive dissonance that theyd prefer to resolve. The ideal solution would be a member of the hated mainstream media openly confessing that he and his colleagues dont just put their thumb on the scales during their day jobs but are also so committed to cheating that they moonlight to do it directly. My 2016 tweets were that solution.

"Paul Horner, whose fake news stories often go viral on Facebook and Twitter, told The Intersect, a Washington Post blog, that Trump supporters were especially susceptible to being fooled.
My sites were picked up by Trump supporters all the time,â Horner said. âI think Trump is in the White House because of me. "
âHis followers donât fact-check anything - theyâll post everything, believe anything. His campaign manager posted my story about a protester getting paid $3,500 as fact. Like, I made that up. I posted a fake ad on Craigslist.â
