I’ve been getting a lot of critical feedback on this tweet. Fair. I should have provided more context why I thought it was a “great read.”https://twitter.com/jack/status/982096889930657792 …

People weren't responding bc they think this is a call for literal civil war. I'm not a Republican, but if you search the article for the 33 occurrences of "Republican", it shouldn't be hard to appreciate why this is a polarizing piece, and your promotion of it is disconcerting.
-
To be clear, "a bunch of learnings and warnings for both parties" is a very, very difficult synopsis to draw from that piece. It's an article about how forward-thinking CA Democrats drove backwards Republicans into the ground, and the rest of the country should follow suit.
-
I read it as a take that it could happen, not that it should.
-
That's fair, and I honestly don't intend to project my interpretation of the article as being one and the same as yours. As you say, the closing paragraph has more of a speculative tone to it, but IMHO, the preceding context focuses on the impetus and reads as a call to action.
-
But again, the aspersions cast at Republicans in that article include brain-dead orthodoxy, being controlled by zealots and the corrupt, a refusal to engage in good faith compromise, toxicity, and a dozen other statements, including outright calling them the "bad guys".
-
I left the GOP in extreme discontent in 2016, so I'm really not trying to defend them. I'm also not interested in dissuading you from your views, but I think what concerns me and others is that it appears that you have assessed this as a relatively neutral piece, which it is not.

You & your .
@Twitter ‘yes men,’ censor & delete conservatives for nothing, but when libs make death threats, you suspend them for a few days & they come back emboldened. That’s the facts, .@Jack!#TalkToTheHandThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Then why is Twitter censoring conservatives? After a conservation yesterday where a bunch of liberals were attacking me (!!), MY account was suspended, i had to verify my phone # (for the 2nd time, 1st being the
#TwitterLockOut), and now my account is clearly being throttled.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

It says that, in 15 years, the entire USA will be the same shit hole that California is now. That's NOT a "good read".

Nice "context" you got there. Would be a shame if someone interpreted it as a sorry CYA attempt, trying to obfuscate your clear political, anti-American, socialistic motivations & desire to silence those you disagree with.

As head of a major social media company, I find it difficult to believe you lacked the good judgement & foresight to know how your comment would be perceived, by both the left & the right. Funny how expounding never carries the same weight as the initial "misrepresentation".

When you live in silos and block off all dissenting views, your less able to remain objective.
