If we have learned anything about being on Twitter, it’s that people with those fancy blue checkmarks (especially on the left) will say really stupid stuff thinking it’s a good idea at the time only to delete tweets later … almost as if they want us to write about them.
Maybe deep down that’s their thing, they love getting mocked on Twitchy.
Yeah, that’s it.
For example, these tweets from Matt Yglesias are a real train wreck (honestly, we can see why he deleted them but still):
I wonder why Matty deleted this tweet.🤔 pic.twitter.com/DLmOpGnT27

Conservatives bullied people out of vaccine passports?
Really?
Huh.
And what summer 2020 debates? We weren’t the ones tearing down statues and rioting in the streets during a pandemic.
You mean summer 2020 protesting without mask debates.

So owned.
But wait, there’s more:

Voluntarily get the shot and they’ll pay you $50 if you do it in the next x weeks.
If not, you will be held down and vaccinated for $0.
Wow.
Fascist much, Matty?
Always “someone” will carry out their totalitarian fantasies. Matty couldn’t hold down Stephen Hawking. Yes, I know Hawking is dead.

Oof.
Matt should volunteer to hold people down, and see how well that goes.

Scratch a lib, find a fascist. And you never have to scratch too deeply.
