The GOP and Living in Fear of Trump’s Twitter Feed
Read Time:3 Minute, 7 Second
A few weeks ago, I was suspended from Twitter for referring to idiot and blow-up sex doll with a pulse Tomi Laren as a ‘bimbo’, which they said went against their bullying standards. I responded by telling them, “Yeah, but it’s okay for her to spew her hatred of liberals, immigrants, and gay people! You know what? You and Jack Dorsey can suck my d*ck!” Then they emailed to let me know that I was banned for life as if I cared. The only reason I was on Twitter in the first place was to promote my work and heckle republicans, but other than that and porn, I never gave two shits about it. I don’t miss it. Besides, the porn on Pornhub is so much better anyway.
To be honest, I’ve never really understood this obsession people have with Twitter and their follower counts. As if it really matters how many random strangers like your comments. Oscar Wilde would be appalled. He would probably consider it the death of cleverness. Not that I disagree.
Having said that, I often wonder why the GOP lives in such fear of Donald Trump and his Twitter feed. It’s almost as though they’re screaming like a toddler in anticipation of getting spanked by a parent with a belt. “Don’t tweet on me! Don’t tweet on me! Noooo! DON’T!” Seriously, if getting a mean tweet is the worst thing to ever happen to you, you’re getting off light.
I mean, grow some balls for God’s sake! Despite Trump’s approval rating among Republicans, he isn’t the ‘kingmaker’ he thinks he is, and with impeachment looming, less so. Trump’s ringing endorsement didn’t really help Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin, now did it? Seems to me that you’d be better off getting scorn on Twitter.
If anything, now is the perfect time to rid themselves of Trump. He’s a sinking ship. Even if he manages to avoid impeachment, the electorate will be that much more determined to vote him out in 2020, which will be worse for the GOP in the long run, because Trump’s endorsement will be like poison.
Remember how the Democrats spurned Clinton’s endorsement in 2000? And that was only for getting a blowjob. I think being associated with an actual criminal is worse. But hey, what do I know?
Besides, Trump’s Twitter feed doesn’t really make that much of a difference anyway. If you’ve ever seen it, most of the people following it either hate him or don’t exist. Besides, why should they be loyal to Trump when he’s made it obvious that he has no loyalty for them? The moment they become a liability, they’re gone. If you seriously think Rudy Giuliani is going to be Trump’s lawyer for much longer, there’s a bridge in Brooklyn I’d love to sell you.
Jeff Sessions is running for the Senate again, and he seems to think that kissing Trump’s ass is the best way to win his endorsement. If you ask me, he’s better off without it. Since recusing himself from the Mueller investigation, Sessions has been on Trump’s shit list, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon.
For the most part, Republicans would be well advised to distance themselves from Trump. When asked if they support impeachment, they should say, “I support whatever is best for the American people.” That way, they’re at least giving the illusion of keeping an open mind. Not that any Republican has ever been accused of keeping an open mind.
When you’re a Congressman and you wake up in the morning and the first thing you do is check the President’s feed to make sure your name isn’t mentioned, then you aren’t a lawmaker- you’re a toadie.

I’m not a Twitkin. I joined years ago, primarily to advertise MMA posts, but found it unproductive. Now I tweet the occasional post and will retweet interesting things.
Twitter is for twits. I spent a couple of days there years ago until I decided I’d have more fun as a cesspool surfer.
