Blue-checked comedy writer's got one weird trick for blue-checks to 'save Democracy as we know it'

Plenty of liberal celebs have vowed to leave Twitter following Elon Musk’s brutal right-wing authoritarian Twitter takeover. But rest assured that there are still a lot of brave souls who are willing to stick around in defiance of Elon Hitler-Mussolini and continue to fight for truth, justice, and the American way.

One of those brave souls is Bess Kalb, a comedy writer and author. Bess isn’t going anywhere, at least not before the midterm elections, and she’s urging her fellow brave souls to show off their bravery with a grand gesture of solidarity with Democracy as we know it:

If everyone with a blue check changed their twitter name and picture to El*n Musk and wrote “Vote Blue on or before 11/8. Save Democracy as we know it.” we could save Democracy as we know it?

All blue-checks changing their names and avatars to Elon Musk — sorry, El*n Musk? Seems like that could be a problem, first of all.

Have fun violating the ToS.

Yeah, a bunch of people impersonating the guy who just took ownership of Twitter seems like maybe a bad idea.

"Democracy is so sacred that we can save it by deceiving the voters"

Well, that would be dishonest. Or for you, completely on-brand.

But leaving that aside, Bess Kalb’s tweet is also just stupid and embarrassing and stupid on its face.

Oh bless your heart.

It’s especially hilarious because Bess doesn’t seem to want to get the ball rolling and lead by example:

Doesn’t look like El*n Musk to us. Guess she chickened out. Oh well.
