Has there been any analysis on what impact Musk's clear attempt to sabotage Twitter has on electorate engagement in elections?
Because here's my thought: X is becoming a right-wing extremist echo-chamber. A safe space for bigotry. So while reasonable eyes leave, the mold festers largely unchecked.
So going to past elections, was Twitter a greater driver for turning out Democratic voters, or Republican ones? I am genuinely curious.
I feel like that's what's happened with school boards and other such. The reasonable people who used to be in charge were badgered until they gave up in disgust and now all the fuckfaces took over.
Except in the last local elections most of that was undone because the voters are starting to listen. I just hope we aren't to late. We did well in 2018, 2020, and 2022 2023 if you look at the histories of such things.
I do feel we are really trying hard to keep our democracy but at this point in time I feel one bad midterm or presidential election will be our downfall.

That's basically where we are though. We let it get so bad that now if we take our eyes off the ball they'll end up destroying democracy. Thank God we're finally pushing back, but we really should have done this stuff a couple decades ago.
The exact same strategy has been and continues to be at play with election officials at every level of government. So many election workers have been harassed so much that especially in lieu of the pay and lack of security they don't consider it worth it. So then naturally the nazis fill these spots.
