Twitter campaign trail got mean and ugly!

There's no doubt that Twitter is a mean place, and has become even meaner since the length of tweets was increased from 140 to 280 characters. During the 2018 election campaign, some of the worst Twitter atrocities @Patriavotes2018 were committed by the right wing, particularly the "Faith, Family, Freedom. Look to the right" tweeters who constantly hammered home the fear of an impending communist takeover should the Social Democrats secure a plurality in the 51st Congress. Which of course the Social Dems did, almost doubling their seat count from 2014! One week after the election, no so-called "leftist rats" and "communist traitors" have been hanging from the lampposts yet. There will not be any violent backlash by so-called "Patriots". Patria decisively rejected right wing populism and the SRM's Patria First nationalism. Patria is not going to go the way of, say, Viktor Orban's Hungary. On the other hand, left wing populism or old-school democratic socialism has been kick-started in the Inner Realm because BERNIE WOULD HAVE WON! (the US presidency in 2016).

The National Union also made a lot of noise on Twitter, promising to bring back the death penalty, supporting the police right or wrong (#BlueLivesMatter) and of course spewing out their he-man appeal of BIG DOGS! TOUGH MEN! According to NU ideology, men who are scared of dogs - particularly big, macho ones like pit bulls and rottweilers - or just prefer to own cats are faggots, cowardly pussies, or at the very least effeminate wimps (even if heterosexual). But on April 21, Patria's voters knocked the NU down a peg and those macho men are scooping the dog poop, winning only 21 seats in the 51st Congress.

While Patria's voters didn't buy the McCarthy-era red-baiting, fear-mongering, hatred of leftists and incitement to commit violence against anyone to the left of Donald Trump, the powers that be at Twitter apparently did react. A day or two after the election, the @Patriavotes2018 account was locked down!
