      I actually replied to it, but then I decided I didn't want to be anywhere near it, even disagreeing, so I deleted the reply.

      It was like the Twitter version of the scene in a movie where someone says something so shocking that the whole room suddenly goes silent. (Of course in the Twitter version, silence is relative.)

          I didn't recognize his name, and it was so unhinged that I assumed everyone in my feed was self-indulgently dunking on some rando, until I looked him up.

          I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the scene depicted in that tweet (excluding the revolution part) appeals to millions of Americans on both sides of the partisan divide. And if that surprises you, you live in a very small bubble indeed.

          Me too, just deleted my response. Don’t want me or my family to be anywhere close to truly disturbed comments like that. Clearly Twitter, just like any tool, can be used for good and bad.
