Fortunately we can use our brains to think and realize that while both sides are calling the other a danger to democracy, only one of them made a concerted effort to overturn the results of an election (an overtly anti-democratic act)

> all it will take to lose your democracy is for a dictator to proclaim his opponents a danger to democracy.

This is true, but your framing of it as something that could be stopped if… something? is absurd

Except no one’s really doing that, they’re just generating outrage bait to prop up a retarded billionaire’s obviously nonsense claim that Twitter, a huge company, is (or was) secretly staffed exclusively by the far left. All evidence that has come out has shown not that, so they’re trying to come up with something else to be outraged about. FBI asking Twitter to stop criminals seems entirely unsurprisingly.

I’m fine with the government shutting down anti-democratic movements. I’m not fine with anti-democratic governments shutting down legitimate discussion that looks bad on them, or serving a foreign power. These are not the same thing.

What am I missing then?

Yes, this website full of brain dead right wingers.

Yeah, these people are just desperately trying to generate outrage over nothing. It’s really really dumb. No need to give them too much thought

I didn’t notice the author, almost took this in good faith, then I got to this banger:

> After all, a whole range of government agencies discredit themselves in the #TwitterFiles

these people are delusional

we were talking about if Elon is stupid. The answer is, obviously, yes. Being stupid has nothing to do with success, also obviously.
