That's a very vague statement which doesn't explain why it's a phenomenon frequently occurring with republican accounts.
Well if we put aside conspiracies and the like, then the answer is because there is a correlation between antisocial behavior and “prominent Republicans” on Twitter. I don’t know if that’s the case, but based on who calls me a “spic” most often when interacting online I wouldn’t be shocked.
- Eyoson 8y agoRandom asshats online are not the same as prominent republicans How many congressmen have called you a spic?
- xrd 8y agoI suppose the one that comes to mind is Donald Trump saying people from Mexico are the worst and rapists. Oh, you said congressman, let me retract that.
- xrd 8y agoIsn't the point of this article to say that prominent Republicans are being shadow banned? Not sure why OP to my comment asked if only (R) congressmen were calling people "spics." Is no one going to downvote a comment that clearly tries to obfuscate the original intention of the article? This is why karma on HackerNews is the worst form of cryptocurrency.
