Read on Twitter
1. They are quite diverse in opinions. For example, they are definitely NOT an angry mob of Democrats. To the contrary, many came into this moderate, leaning conservative.
2. They don't all like Twitter. Several have said when things are stabilized, they will delete their accounts. And over the months, some of them have, in fact, quit. I knew one pretty well, and they are missed.
3. The Twitter thing takes a lot of time, and for some of them it causes family issues they are on their phone all the time. So toilet tweeting is definitely a thing.
4. They have a lot of inside jokes, which both binds them socially and makes it hard for outsiders to understand. At this point, I am supposed to say #kabob, and I have actually heard different interpretations of why this is important
5. The handle isn't necessarily good info about who runs the account. Some are run by groups, some are run by former federal employees, some are run by employees, but in a different part of the gov. Some are exactly what the account says.
I appreciate your interest today! If you think you'd like me to post a sample from the book somewhere so you can have a look, I can consider it. Let me know by liking this tweet. And thanks, again!
