I Got Suspended on Twitter For Calling Marjorie Taylor Greene The “C" Word.

24 Hours well worth it.

Before I get started, this isn’t me taking the suddenly trendy route of trashing Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter, in an effort to direct traffic my way.

As disappointing as many of you may find this, I have no problem with Elon buying Twitter (He purchased it, not stole or hijacked it, as takeover softly implies).

In fact, after I constructed my few word tweet to a politician who’s beliefs, loyalties, overall demeanor, and tweets expressing such were beginning to increasingly frustrate me, Twitter was even nice enough to ask me if I was sure I wanted to send that tweet. It kindly reminded me that “most people don’t respond well to such tweets".

Though I highly doubted MTG, Elon, or Twitter moderators would “respond well" to the tweet, and knew I’d likely be reprimanded via account restrictions or suspension, I just simply could no longer help myself.

Maybe it was all of the political commercials I had to endure here in Pennsylvania during the Midterms, or the whines and rants I had to scroll through on Facebook after they were over, by people who didn’t vote for a winning candidate.
