Figured I'd give my twist on the #scaredofuschallenge and see what conversation ensues. I know poets aren't on Twitter like that, but time for that to change. Enjoy. Challenge to @camaricarter

@maddenifico There is a community of people thirsty to see the world burn and watch how we respond to it or if we can survive. And those same people trolling now...well, even if their real life goes south, they'll likely keep trolling to pretend they're tough.
@ManyMoonzz@maddenifico People are tired of being told their eyes & ears are lying.
We can't have the stable America we deserve, conservative or progressive, if we keep letting the loud & wrong culture warriors catch our lives in their crossfire.
@JohnSpruce1331 @JPScmeckles @TaraG438499 @GrandpaDennisP I'm not convinced our side has enough ppl with that streak of what those MAGA rubes had to go there. Plus this country could end up in a loop of opposition taking that action every time. Stabilization and returning to checks & balances is important while combating these forces.
@jja6767@secretsandlaws@notlarrysabato@PeterHamby Twitter was fine with conservatives. It wanted to get rid of evil, violent troublemakers.
You people think that's a feature, not a bug, of being conservative.
@Jacqualine@Bobbyisrael17@notlarrysabato That's also why they're not on Filth Social or Parler (remember that? Lol). The echo chamber is useless to them. They desire to harass people who disagree.
@BCipnic@B_Koehler3 @Ascendingd9197 @notlarrysabato Consider that folks are fine with legit, reasonable, forward-moving debate, but not insults, harassment, death threats, etc. from what may not even be real people, just a machine out to tear others down & waste their time.
@forthecomments1@lorigspeaks@NicolasEdny Indeed. But many Americans are taught by our media that every place is awful in many ways, so we're better off here tolerating U.S. f*ckery (what X-trolls are pushing now).
@ViolettaHGH8 @lorigspeaks@NicolasEdny Don't forget native American peoples, who are plentiful here and not extinct. My thing is that Black folks ride with them in solidarity to protect the land and not let white nationalist plunder destroy all this.
@kentuckyliz3@NicolasEdny Thanks. Very enlightening. Surprising also where wasn't named. Not UK, France, or Japan (maybe understandably so), and only two African countries.
