How do various folks use the word "disgusting" on Twitter? We looked at a month or so (2019-12-01 - 2020-01-07) of recent tweets containing "disgusting" to find out; here are some observations. #SaturdayMotivation

cc: @ZellaQuixote
@ZellaQuixote We classified the accounts with recent "disgusting" tweets into #resistance/#BlueWave, #MAGA, and "other" categories based on the hashtags used in their profiles. We excluded accounts with no profile hashtags. 29.5% appear to be political; slightly more are left-wing than right.
@ZellaQuixote Next, we ran sentiment analysis on the tweets containing "disgusting". Unsurprisingly, the scores average highly negative (around -0.5), but the political accounts' "disgusting" tweets consistently score more negative than those from non-political accounts.
@ZellaQuixote Finally, what are these accounts actually calling disgusting? General terms like "people", "human", and "behavior" top the list. Both sets of political accounts refer to their ideological opponents as "disgusting", but the behavior is more frequent among #MAGA accounts.
