I wonder why Twitter didn’t pay attention to what happened to Fox after Election Night. The correlation between Fox viewers and Trump supporters was no secret. Once Fox disrespected the President, his supporters answered with their remote controls by pushing the Newsmax button. So too with Twitter. Once it pushed so far as to de-platform the President and other Conservatives, the response was rapid and resolute. It seems to me the only reason Twitter failed to consider the anger of the President’s followers is its arrogance and hubris. How’s that working out, Jack?

The reason it is not considered was summed up by a former neighbor of mine when Trump won in 2016. “I can’t believe that there are that many racists in America!”

Their projection of their world view leaves them incapable of accepting any input of facts that would change that world view.

I am sure that Twitter was told many times that Trump has millions of followers, but their would view wont allow them to accept that fact because it would force them to reconsider .... well, everything.
