Is anyone left on Twitter who isn't far right?
Jack Murphy, a podcast host and self-described “alpha-male giga chad” involved in a quasi-professional cuckolding porn scandal.

Okay, so I'm going to stop you right there. >

The fuxk did I just read?! >

Just another hump day in the right wing twittersphere >

Governing with scientific ignorance, and religious bigotry, misogyny, and homophobia. >

Let's not forget racial bigotry. Banning black history is pretty blatant. >

I used to be on Twitter for at least an hour or two every day, on bad days it was longer.
My therapist and I worked on this for years because it was like an addiction. I used an app called "Freedom" to literally block myself from Twitter, and I paid a monthly fee to do it. That's how bad it was. 
Then Elon Musk took over and within a month, Twitter was so unusable to me that I STOPPED using it. 
My therapist and I are BOTH kind of stunned. Elon Musk did in one month what my therapist and I could not do in YEARS. He totally stopped my Twitter usage. 
My mood is better, my anger has decreased, and I have an hour or two in my day for other things. 
I never thought I'd thank Elon Musk for anything but here we are. >

Hi, we don't know each other, however we both have gone through the same exact thing. My friends, family and therapist all tried to get me off that app. Within a month as well since Elon took over i am completely off the app, and in a different place. I'm still very angry at the world, but my mood is better as well. I still get itchy looking for a new outlet...reddit is not the same lol, and yeah i miss it, but fuck it is better to be away from that place >

The Russian bot farms are secret? >

Shit, don't even need to go that far. A bunch of Floridians are ignorant assholes who foam at the mouth for conservative beliefs - it's why so many moved to the state at all. You don't need Russians to scream incoherently at anything pointing out bad policy - even just 1% of new residents will do that job for Putin. >

The problem is he is targeting the GOP base which is dying off by the day. Gen-Z and Millennials are the biggest demographics and generally don't fall for the GOP bulls*it as easily as older folks. >

They are targeting the impassioned and stupid. And as far as they figure  it, "theres a sucker born every minute". And they are helping it along with stripping education giddily. >

This is the playbook. Invent shit. Activate disinformation networks and troll farms. Lies eventually become truth. Pass laws to address it. (Though here, I’m missing the massive effort to buy and control the judiciary.)
Rinse and repeat.

“Quasi-professional” describes DeSantis in every way. >


”It’s not a lot of the big influencers, I don’t know if you’d call them mid-tier influencers or micro-influencers—I think it’s a ragtag band of misfits, quite frankly.”

“Micro-influencers?” As in, not-influencers? >

Influence over 10 people is still influence I suppose >

Here is the beginning of the story:  
As Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis soaked up the crowd’s adulation during a surprise appearance at last Sunday’s NFL playoff game between the Jacksonville Jaguars and Kansas City Chiefs, a lesser-known team was on hand to run a very different kind of play.  
By the time the governor took his seat at Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium, video of his smile-and-wave routine—smoothly filmed in vertical mode, perfect for sharing—was already circulating online.  
But the most important plank of DeSantis’ play was executed on a much different field: the arena of social media. Promptly after the clip was posted, right-wing Twitter accounts with thousands of followers amplified it and caused it to spread like wildfire among a DeSantis-loving audience. The clip would end up racking up over over 2 million views on Twitter.  
That was no accident. It was—and is—a core element of the DeSantis team’s political strategy as he gears up for a possible run for the presidency in 2024. According to five Republicans familiar with the discussions, the governor’s top lieutenants have quietly recruited a network of conservative social media influencers as part of a broader attempt to circumvent the mainstream press and appeal directly to GOP primary voters nationwide.  
And who are, according to the three Republicans who received the initial pitch, among the ranks in DeSantis’ digital army?  
Jack Murphy, a podcast host and self-described “alpha-male giga chad” involved in a quasi-professional cuckolding porn scandal. John Cardillo, a former Newsmax TV host and unregistered arms dealer who allegedly stiffed the Ukrainian government for $200,000 worth of body armor plates. Christian Walker, Herschel Walker’s right-wing influencer son who helped tank his father’s Senate campaign. David Reaboi, a Hungary-loving and Qatar-hating bodybuilder with longstanding ties to John Bolton. And Caleb Hull, an ex-Trump digital strategist who has said some very, very racist things.  
This is the DeSantis A-team, and they’re fighting a battle for a presidential campaign that hasn’t even started yet—with plenty of DeSantis face time, dinners, and photo ops. >


Qatar-hating

least bad thing in that entire list >

Hopefully the death of Twitter nullifies the reach of these psychopaths. >

How is this a secret at all? lol it's pretty blatant and open. >

Is this some kind of Russia money laundering through Cuba and Miami?
I don't get how Florida became a kleptocratic outpost.
