Farewell to the Wizard of America’s Id

I created another Twitter account so I could survey the situation following the election. When I have created Twitter accounts in the past, I have not been able to stand it very long. I thought this time might be different. I could stay in the background, not get too much dirt on me, and have the ability to look at other people’s pages in chronological order, which is something Twitter took away from non-members.

I lasted 4 days.

I was swamped with fake and/or bot accounts. I don’t know what purpose these accounts serve. They must be making money somehow. Most of them featured posts sort of like this: “I have had it with Mike Pompeo! If you agree, say ‘YES’!”

A lot of them had ridiculous names like “PresOfficialDonaldTrump.” They were labeled “Parody,” not always in a conspicuous way. They contributed nothing at all to the discourse, and they pushed real accounts out.

I had to keep muting these accounts. Muting means you can’t see their posts, but they can see yours. It seemed like it didn’t work. I kept seeing the same trash. Maybe they were posting on multiple accounts with very similar names. I tried blocking. I blocked and blocked and blocked.

I started getting slut posts. One of the first was some sleazy little trollop dropping the top of her bar-grade minidress. Then I got flooded with Cardi B fan posts. “Cardi be CRUSHIN’ it in this dress!” I would guess I muted and blocked over 30 accounts like this, but they kept coming. Cardi B is a slut, she is unintelligent, and she is also homely.

I received similar posts from other rap sluts. I got one from Sexxy Red, another homely pop star. She was bending over in a short dress, facing away from the phone. She looks like a budget prostitute of the sort favored by economically-minded military personnel.

I use harsh terms, I know, but so does the Bible.

There was also a ton of disinformation from the right and the left. The guy who debunked Pizzagate raped a bunch of kids! No, he was caught with child pornography. Doug Emhoff’s daughter had to be committed to a mental asylum after the election! No, that did not happen. RFK murdered 83 kids in Samoa! Really? Read up on that.

Twitter now has “community notes,” meaning you can post a note correcting disinformation. I saw very few of these.

There were a bunch of sick women, telling the world how they hated their friends and relatives who voted for Trump. TDS is not imaginary. It’s real, and it’s everywhere.

Many people were gloating over the Democrats. This is a practice I battle within myself. Here is what the Bible says:

Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:

Lest the Lord see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.

I don’t want the Lord to stop defeating these people and the filthy spirits they serve.

I saw a lot of people bragging about a Trump landslide. That was annoying. There was no landslide. Ronald Reagan was elected twice, and in the process, he got over 1,000 electoral votes. Those were landslides. Trump got 312 votes. Why can’t we be honest? He did pretty well. That’s all.

Trump got 304 votes in 2016, and no one called it a landslide.

People were talking as though the Democrats were finished. A lot of people think we own the country now. No. We do not. We won in a squeaker. We had a feeble loser opponent who repelled people, and we still ended up with tiny majorities in the House and Senate. America still loves Satan’s values, and the left will eventually overtake the right. Get ready for it. You will not save America, but you can save yourself by getting to know God.

We will probably lose one house of Congress in the midterm election, so get ready for it.

I don’t know how you’re supposed to get anything good out of Twitter. There are a lot of citizen journalists there, but think of the sewage you have to wade through to get to them.

The big conservative brains on Twitter are disappointing. For example, people say James Woods got a 1600 on the SAT and went to MIT, but his posts are pretty ordinary. Some are immature. He’s not “owning” people right and left. I tend to doubt what people say about his intelligence. It’s true he went to MIT for 7 semesters, but not everyone there is Niels Bohr.

On top of all this, Twitter is a time sink. You sit down to check it briefly, and then suddenly, 90 minutes are gone, and you have nothing to show for it.

I’m out. I’m done. I think Twitter is important, because you can say things all the other social sites delete, but I can’t find a way to make it work for me. Maybe I’ll start another account if something big happens and I want to keep track of it, but I am on the sidelines for now.
