Elon Musk bought Twitter, and New Hampshire House Democrat Jan Schmidt is looking for a new nest on social media in which to lay her rotten “eggs.”
Schmidt is committed to an environment where she can peddle half-truths, deceit, and outright lies without fear of challenge. A task to which she is so committed, the dishonorable NH House Rep tried to make free speech punishable by law.
Schmidtler attempted to carve out a safe space for public officials and their families exclusive to all others from where they could sue anyone who made them feel bad with their words.
She accused GraniteGrok of hating women, which we disproved with almost no effort.
She claimed we wanted her silenced, which was the opposite of the truth.
Schmidtler defends the likes of (Democrats) Wendy Thomas and Sherry Frost, both of whom have espoused plenty of garbage on Twitter, which, when challenged, gets you muted or blocked. Frost even has a nickname resulting from her potty-mouthed musings.
Women who are so strong that they can’t face the prospect of having their ideas challenged. And therein lies the rub.
Schmidt is looking for someplace else to go, even though she can mute, block, or filter access to the nonsense she shares. Even under Musk’s ownership, Twitter would still allow her to try and hide from scrutiny. But she seems desperate for someplace else to go.
So where, indeed?
It is a dilemma for them. There is no other Twitter-like platform that isn’t already more or less committed to the kind of free speech that Democrats hate. They’ll have to create one for themselves but can they?
After Rush Limbaugh taught dying AM radio how to succeed, the political right took it by storm. This loss of message control so aggravated the left that they created Air America. A “network” of whiners and crybabies that collapsed like most left-wing projects unsupported by forced taxation.
Ironically, the same people who told people on the right who got kicked off an increasingly intolerant Twitter told them to build their own. They did. MeWe, GAB, GETTR, and several others have popped up to emulate the Twitter experience without tyranny. But Jan can’t use those. They protect speech rather than confine it to her increasingly narrow worldview.
There’s nowhere for Jan and her ilk to shack up and prattle about hate and safe spaces, and any new thing they build will likely, like Air America, collapse in failure unless propped up perennially with George Soros money.
I confess that this would not disappoint me at all.
And hey, you can always tweet as much as you like on Twitter. Because, as I noted here.
Democrats speaking freely is by far the single best argument for liberty. Period. No one who writes here or reads here should ever do anything to discourage Democrats from saying what they think about anything, anywhere.
And Jan, there’s always Facebook. At least until Zuckerberg goes to actual jail for illegally meddling in Federal elections, not that this would ever dissuade the company he founded from continuing the practice, which is something Twitter won’t be doing anymore.
With or without the DisHon. Jan Schmidt.
