Twitter chose a new path when they canceled the President's account despite 88 million followers. Now they are just rooting out and eliminating any remaining dissent. Paul Sperry the latest victim? It doesn't matter...
Twitter isn't a viable "news" source anymore and it does not deserve your time or effort. Let it die! Let it become an echo chamber for blue check marks talking about fake news. Let them talk to each other. The platform has become irrelevant and will die slowly if you allow it. They won't be reaching more than half the audience anymore.
Cancel your twitter account, stop logging in, take your conversations to other platforms. Find your "breaking news" from other sources. Stop supporting a platform that has become basically a CNN RSS feed.
Wanted to share an analogy I've used when challenged by someone that wants you to prove to them that everything they believe from their trusted sources is actually incorrect in one conversation. Obviously, this cannot be done. You can't undo years of programming and indoctrination, and people will not and cannot accept that the "news" sources they trust are nearly 100% fake. It's a waste of your time and everyone's time. The best you can do is ask the right question, and hope to trigger some cognitive dissonance that might lead someone to at least consider looking deeper into something themselves.
When you encounter someone who wants to use as "proof" that you are incorrect that you cannot definitively refute their views, since they are backed up by their own worthless sources and consistent with MSM indoctrination, you can give them the "Fat person analogy" - nothing against fat people, just a way of looking at and explaining why they won't be able to get a new direction from you in one conversation.
If you have a person that eats poorly, makes terrible dietary decisions, and has put on tons of weight over the years... you can't just send a dietician over to speak with them and expect everything to be fixed right away. There are potentially years and years of damage that needs to be undone. Not only would they have to start making different choices, they would need to know what choices to make before even taking their first new action. Beyond that, they would need to decide whether they even WANT to make a change. The exact same thing is true for those indoctrinated on fake news and MSM sources. You can be up against a lifetime of indoctrination, and would be undercutting someone's entire worldview. People cannot and will not react well to that.
In most cases, people aren't ready to learn the truth, nor do they even WANT to know... for many different reasons. When you find someone who MIGHT be open and interested in the truth, but is unconvinced because you can't give them a good enough reason in 90 seconds... or maybe they already know better than you because they watch CNN and read NY Times posts on twitter ever morning... remember this analogy. Ask the right question, trigger cognitive dissonance... maybe they are smart enough to want to learn more for themselves. Verbal persuasion will fail 99% of the time.
