The blue check mark should mean nothing other than "this account belongs to who it says it does". And that's it. Unfortunately, Twitter has reinforced the incorrect unconscious bias of treating the blue tick as meaning "credibility/reliability", by removing it from people who state opinions and hold views that Twitter (the company) doesn't like. This has led to a severe imbalance on the political spectrum of who holds blue ticks, and increases the ability for the celebrities and journalists to control the narrative online. This should only be seen as a bad thing for everybody, regardless of your political alignment.
