Stop Quote Tweeting MTG.
Your raging amplification = her goal.
Twitter's algorithm doesn't know these are dunks.
It just sees this as engagement & rewards the account with more attention.
Quote Tweet your friends, screenshot your enemies.
MTG's entire career has been bootstrapped from "can you believe she said THAT!?" moments.
When you quote tweet & reply to her, you're helping her build that foundation.
Stop letting yourself be #ragefgarmed.
MTG is an innovator. She's part of the vanguard of pols bringing pro-wrestling feuds & beefs into Congress.
It's infuriating.
Entertaining.
And media & engagement generating.
The problem?
MTG & backers are learning how to convert this into actual political capital.
Are you following big accounts that constantly quote tweet awfulness?
Realtalk: they are *key players in the growth strategy of the worst politicians out there.*
Please, gently ask them to stop doing so & screenshot instead.
And if they don't stop, question why.
There you have it. MTG #ragefarmed her way into trending. And a media cycle.
The tweet was a cynical ploy to grab media attention on a day when Biden bravely went to #Ukraine.
And it's working.
Focus on what matters.
Stop being #ragefarmed.
Exactly this.
Your replies with fact checks & quote tweeted debunks...
Rage farmers don't care what you say.
They just count the numbers of Replies & Quote Tweets.
Bigger = better.
If your way of criticizing them still grows those numbers, they still played you.
