29. I was on Twitter until last week

And anyone could see how high-profile liberal accounts were being throttled by "Mr. Free Speech" while Trumper accounts were getting promoted. Sometime around September my own daily twitter feed went from zero to 25% MAGA, which was quite a feat because for years I went out of my way to block tens of thousands of Trumper accounts...

It's important to remember the two events that got Apartheid Clyde mad enough to start his "free speech" crusade: 1. The banning of Nazis and 2. The banning of pubic figures peddling blatant disinfo about COVID-19... Elmer also screeched for years that Twitter management shouldn't be "overtly political" but we see how quickly he conveniently forgot about that...
