IDEA: Stand up to him on him on Twitter!

[Shanti Mama]

I've recently read two articles that prompted an idea. One was about how the new guy (can't type his name) used Twitter to bully a young woman who questioned him at a rally. The other is a Boston Globe article asking Who Will Stand Up to the person who shall not be named.

This got me thinking. Don't all Tweets that include his Twitter handle show up on his feed in some way? I'm not a tweeter, yet, so don't know. If @real... is in the tweet, does he see it, assuming he's looking?

Why don't we all sign up for Twitter and start standing up to him on the bully platform he prefers? Inundate him with peace, love, truth, challenges, and resistance. If the millions of people who follow him see constructive, intelligent challenges and his reaction to them, maybe it's a good thing. The challenges need to be respectful and truthful.

I've just created a Twitter account and am going to try it. If I disappear, you'll know what happened.
Feedback, please...

1. Please let us know

I don't use Twitter much as it seems inane to me. If there's a way to harass shit head there though, I will do it!

2. I don't use it at all, but may sign up

What do you think of the idea? If it was organized and massive, might it work?

3. Why do you feel you can not use Trumps name??

4. Many of us do stand up to Trump and his vile fans already. One problem is

that he has a massive army of supporters and they ARE vile.

6. Great!

Please tell me how you stand up to him so I can do it, too!

5. I've been thinking about signing up, partially because of this.

I've even decided what hash tag I'd use: #ComradeTrump.

7. If we really do this

I don't think we should try to directly antagonize him. Let him melt all on his own. I'd refer to him as President-Elect. Give him the dignity of the office and let him destroy himself.

8. Will you rec the OP so it gets more traction?

9. He doesn't answer anyone directly on twitter

I'm not even sure he reads any responses. He's too narcisstic to not to read what people write about him but he only seems to be concerned with what famous people think of him. Most of his followers that tweet on his feed are trying to sell trump merchandise or trying to get followers.

10. No, but he tweets about people who stand up to him

If enough of us stood up to him on Twitter, with his followers seeing what we write, maybe it would help?

11. I agree with you

He's got trolls that attack on any dem or journo twitter feed & if something grabs his attention from a regular American he sends out his troll thugs. They form a wall around him.

[question everything]

12. There was a report of individuals who tried this and were banned from his account

I don't twit so have no idea how these things work..

13. Thanks for the heads up.

A friend just told me this, too.
