I will be documenting some of the illiberal, undemocratic reactions to the news that Twitter is set to accept @elonmusk’s offer to buy the platform.

A Virginia Democrat political operative is afraid the former US president will be allowed back:

The author of “White Tears” says his life quality will degrade if Trump is allowed back.

Some gay radio host says Twitter won’t be a safe place under @elonmusk. The host doesn’t appear to take issue with Saudi Arabian oligarchs owning large shares of the company, despite the kingdom’s persecution of gays & other minorities under Sharia.

A Young Turks host asks for another billionaire to help leftists unhappy with @elonmusk’s likely purchase of Twitter. Others discuss the possibility of leaving the platform altogether because they fear their time of political dominance is over.

A columnist at Washington Post, one of the world’s largest newspapers under billionaire Jeff Bezos, is more optimistic the left can maintain dominance at Twitter through employees who will refuse to be politically neutral and fair.

Some Brooklyn leftist video gamer says he hates @elonmusk buying Twitter & will block @TheBabylonBee if it is reinstated.

Unhinged & xenophobic take from a failing radio host about how @elonmusk will enforce racial apartheid-inspired rules on Twitter. #ElonMuskBuyTwitter #elon

Cosmologist says the leftists she agrees with on Twitter have all expressed “devastation, pessimism, and rage.”

Some D-list actress expresses fear that @elonmusk could allow politicians she disagrees with on the platform; An esports journalist says one of his biggest fears is Trump being back on Twitter.

Some ex-corporate finance lawyer says that support for free speech on Twitter is a dog whistle for supporting racism and hate.
