I am not a tweeter, and so never really went to Dump's Twitter page. I did this morning though, and I would say 90% of the comments were negative towards him. Is this normal that his hard core Rublicans are not defending him more?
One DU blogger yesterday posted that her account was blocked from his feed. This made me curious if Dump's is trying to quiet his objectors. There was another post on his feed that stated many were being blocked. So, in my mind I subtracted these blocked twitter accounts, but still am seeing a 90% negative tweeters. Furthermore, I did not hardly see any of the rhetoric sayings heard during the campaign. Where have all his supporters gone? And why so quiet now?
This is only my opinion...but if the media attack on him is real as he tweets....where is Dump's Callvary? He used to be able to rouse his base as his buffer against any attacks...but this weekend...there is NO battle on social media. And if there is a defensive stand being made, it is so minuscule, that nobody is seeing it. Even our DU boards are relatively quiet from RW arguments or attacks.
Just a thought....where is the battle?

(5,591 posts)Realizing they have been lied to and played for the fools that they are. I have no doubts that the Cretin blocks hundreds of tweets.
Sociopath Narcissists don't tolerate criticism.
They might be realizing that we do not HAVE a leader and won't as long as this indefensible oaf is in the White House.

(10,893 posts)it seems to be like that for the Twitter pages of many prominent people. Most of the commenters on the pages of Hillary Clinton, John Lewis, Tom Perez, DWS, etc. are probably negative, too. Many people out there just like to go on the Twitter pages of celebs/politicians they loathe just to vent while the people who support them have no reason to say anything.
