How many social media platforms do these wingnuts need? They have Gab, Gettr, Telegram, Truth Social and probably others I don’t know about and now they are taking over twitter. I guess it’s unsurprising, but it’s also sort of sad…
Twitter famous: “High-profile Republican members of Congress gained tens of thousands of Twitter followers in the first few weeks of Elon Musk’s reign over the social media network, while their Democratic counterparts experienced a decline,” according to an analysis by our colleagues Gerrit De Vynck, Jeremy B. Merrill and Luis Melgar.
“Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Rep. Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) all lost about 100,000 Twitter followers in the first three weeks of Musk’s ownership of Twitter, while Republican Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (Ga.) and Jim Jordan (Ohio) gained more than 300,000 each. … On average, Republicans gained 8,000 followers and Democrats lost 4,000.”
“The pattern suggests that tens of thousands of liberals may be leaving the site, while conservatives are joining or becoming more active, shifting the demographics of the site under Musk’s ownership. The changes are in line with a trend that began in April, when Musk announced his intention to buy the company.”
