Evan Williams is an awful human being.

“I thought once everybody could speak freely and exchange information and ideas, the world is automatically going to be a better place,” Evan Williams told the Times. “I was wrong about that.”

Maybe he was right. Maybe the twitter he created and everybody speaking freely did make the world a better place.

I am not one of those who says he needs to stop tweeting. (See my tagline)

Every time he tweets, liberals seem to crap their brains out on the ground in a steaming pile.

I don’t see his tweeting as a problem...I see it as a solution.

I tend to agree, but maybe he should let a less emotional friend read it before he hits SEND.

Trump? How did this happen? Well, it wasn’t Twitter, but...I post this nearly every time I see that question:

“TRUMP? HOW DID THIS HAPPEN??”
**************************************

It happened because you banned super-sized sodas.

And smoking in parks.

And offensive ideas on campus.

Because you branded people who oppose gay marriage ‘homophobic’, and people unsure about immigration ‘racist’.

Because you treated owning a gun and never having eaten quinoa as signifiers of fascism.

Because you thought correcting people’s attitudes was more important than finding them jobs.

Because you turned ‘white man’ from a description into an insult.

Because you used slurs like ‘denier’ and ‘dangerous’ against anyone who doesn’t share your eco-pieties.

Because you treated dissent as hate speech and criticism of Obama as extremism.

Because you talked more about gender-neutral toilets than about home repossessions.

Because you beatified Caitlyn Jenner.

Because you policed people’s language, rubbished their parenting skills, took the legitimacy out of their beliefs.

Because you cried when someone mocked the Koran but laughed when they mocked the Bible.

Because you said criticizing Islam is Islamophobia.

Because you kept telling people, “You can’t think that, you can’t say that, you can’t do that”.

Because you turned politics from something done by and for people to something done to them, for their own good.

Because you treated people like sh*t. And people don’t like being treated like sh*t.

Trump happened because of YOU!

I enjoy the chaos it seems to incite in liberals.

I can’t disagree with you, because yours is the adult approach, but...I have this image of him sitting on the john in the morning, whistling to himself and typing another explosive tweet, smiling as he hits the send button.

He doesn’t seem to care whether people agree or disagree with him. I guess I just like the contentiousness.

That is where liberalism has taken me...I now simply enjoy sticking my conservative finger in their eyes. If they are going to destroy our political process with their machinations, I would rather see all their ideas laid to waste and the ground salted rather than to live under their thumbs.
