There’s been a lot of wishcasting in response to this article—people demanding everyone see MTG as they do. But Republicans agree she’s already one of their most powerful leaders; Trump agrees and has her on his VP shortlist; and “votes” may not be what decides the 2024 election. — PolitiTweet.org

@Roy_ViolaJr Read the article or don’t, but do not comment on the article without reading it. That contributes nothing. — PolitiTweet.org

In fact, it’s all a little bit sad—these troll parties being held here on Twitter. These are people who contribute virtually nothing to capitalism and therefore mean less than nothing to a capitalist like Musk. He wants to hang with them, sure, but not if it costs him a red cent. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
Musk will do what makes him money—period. And emboldening Twitter trolls with no followers or organic reach literally *costs* him money. So while I have no doubt he will make some foolish decisions, they will always be ones aimed at profit, not pleasing irrelevant bottom-feeders. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
So anyone saying Twitter has already changed is wrong. Nothing has changed. It’s just that the worst elements here are temporarily emboldened. Wait a week or two and the same trolls will be *complaining* that in fact nothing changed and a huge tech corp has let them down (again). — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
One thing I’d say to folks about Twitter is that there literally hasn’t been a *single* change to Twitter’s moderation policies so far—and Musk has hinted that any changes may be small. We’re seeing increased far-right troll activity because they’re celebrating—maybe prematurely. — PolitiTweet.org

Q: @RepMTG, some voters may vote Red because they think the GOP has a plan to lower gas prices and grocery bills. *I* say you have no plan to do anything at all—and will only engage in partisan nonsense if you take the House.

PS2/ Thanks to you all, RETRO is now the #5 History substack! And current data suggests it may be #3 or #4—or even higher—come November 1. Thank you all so much for your support! My birthday isn’t until Halloween, but I already feel like RETRO readers have given a great gift! 😁 — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson

PS2/ The evidence is also clear as to how *terrified* GOP grifters like Dinesh D’Souza are that this preview of America’s Red Future will dissuade voters from *voting* for such a bloody, chaotic, crazed, authoritarian endgame on November 8. Their lies about Pelosi are grotesque. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
PS/ Perhaps, weeks or months from now, we’ll learn new information that alters this assessment. But right now we have a *mountain* of evidence about the would-be assassin, his views, his intent, the attack itself, the crime scene and the police response—and it all points one way. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
This was a premeditated assassination attempt inspired by the rhetoric of Trump and his GOP sycophants—many of whom are on the ballot November 8. Period. I’ve read all the reports and, as a longtime criminal defense attorney, I say the evidence is clear. https://t.co/zvAJX7L5vv — PolitiTweet.org

@PritchardJeff In this case, clearly so! Perhaps the right-wing troll I was dealing with would have had to think a little bit longer about how to misconstrue my tweet. 😁 — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
And all across America, people consider voting for GOP candidates on the theory that maybe these demagogues who defend the attempted assassination of the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives for electoral gain are really good folks who’ll keep their promises. 🤦🏻 — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
This is exactly what I’ve been talking about here. Republican Party demagogues will literally defend the attempted assassination of the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives if they think not doing so could cost them even a single vote. It is absolutely monstrous. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
I can’t believe we both went to Dartmouth. D’Souza has crafted a “two-hammer” theory of the case that involves DePape seductively asking “Where’s Nancy?” rather than—as we know he did—screaming it. To be clear, D’Souza believes none of what he's saying. He’s a straight-up conman. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
What is going on on ex-convict Dinesh D’Souza’s Twitter feed has got to be the craziest chain of illogic I’ve seen on Twitter in some time, and that’s saying something. Almost every “fact” offered is false, then new false “facts” are layered on these to create a skyscraper of BS. — PolitiTweet.org

@PritchardJeff That said, media literacy broadly writ is also a huge problem in the US. Offline research tools can be misused just as easily as digital ones. But the reason media literacy is typically taught as part of the digital humanities is because most of the issues are with digital tools. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
@PritchardJeff Digital media literacy is a core component of digital literacy. The issue I was initially writing on was Elon Musk quickly searching for online postings discrediting the Pelosi story and then amplifying them. It was a narrative very much focused on how digital tools are misused. — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
(Another part of digital literacy is always remembering how our own laziness is what ultimately sinks us. In trying to watch the Sunday news while tweeting, I decided to quote-tweet this jackass, rather than screenshot. So then I had to go back and fix my own stupid, lazy error!) — PolitiTweet.org
Seth Abramson @SethAbramson
And to be clear, yes, one element of digital literacy is understanding that the account I am quote-tweeting, which was created this month and falsely claims to be that of a liberal, is a suspicious Twitter account. I want to make this point about digital literacy here regardless. — PolitiTweet.org
