Whenever I hear an alt-righter call himself a "classic liberal," I'm reminded of antivaxers denying that they are antivaccine and instead trying to claim the mantle of vaccine safety activists. https://twitter.com/amandamarcotte/status/971598444266770432 …

Had same thought. Based on the highly intellectual retorts of your critics here I suspect you've struck a nerve.

Heheh. I barely noticed. Twitter quality filters really work.

I wish we could create our own screens based on bios, first to go, self-described “contrarians” which seems to be shorthand for “tedious buffoon.” Next anyone with 8 numbers in their handle or admitted deplorable.

Indeed. Anyone with
#MAGA or "pro-Trump" in his profile would also go into my filter. That being said, this combination of Twitter quality settings seems to work well for me. Clicking the other options (such as requiring a verified phone number) tends to be too restrictive.pic.twitter.com/ZucR4ss6p4

Not in this media. It just boils down to tribal poo-flinging. No meaningful discussion with ideologic fringes, no data, just emotion, sentimentalism and insult. Not any different with the antiGMO/vax granola crowd, opposite pole of ideologic blinders, similar debate styles.

Let's just say that I've never had a worthwhile discussion with anyone on Twitter who's so ideological as to include pictures of Trump and the #MAGA hashtag IN HIS PROFILE but have endured much abuse. I usually mute or block them, depending on how obnoxious they are.
