Over a period of decades now, Stephen King has built himself a career as a highly respected and highly successful author of fiction. It’s made him millions of dollars as well has helped him amass a Twitter following of more than seven million people.
Unfortunately, it seems that that’s where King’s success stops. Because when he actually starts tweeting stuff, he gives us good reason to doubt his entire career.
Because how can a man who’s written so many books that have sold a bazillion copies possibly send out come with something like this, let alone tweet it out for the entire world to see:
So now “woke” is a dirty word.
The RepublicGuns seem to prefer “asleep.”— Stephen King (@StephenKing) November 30, 2022
“RepublicGuns”? Who is he trying to impress here? No, really. Who? How does that tweet have more than 31,000 likes? We have to assume that most of them are just pity-likes. Or at least that’s what I’m going to tell myself.
Because man. It’s bad. Real bad.
Ha!
Get it?
RepublicGuns….
"asleep" as opposed to "woke"….Very clever.
Much funny.
Super Wow!

The cringe. It hurts. It hurts so much.
Try writing a book, they're usually better than your tweets. https://t.co/hzobIPhtpR

I’ve personally never read a Stephen King book, but I’ve seen “The Shawshank Redemption” a whole bunch of times and I really like it, so I take it he’s at least a mildly talented author. Of things that aren’t tweets, anyway.
About three years behind with this lame joke https://t.co/DNVHEoMiIV

Three years? That seems a little low, honestly.
I hear the kids today like disco a lot, too. Maybe you can make a joke about that one.

And maybe throw one in about Elvis’ hips, just for good measure.
Can you tone down the cringe dear? It's time for your nap https://t.co/drYHCfwn3j

I’m legit embarrassed for this guy.
I’m not sure, but if Stephen King has people in his life who really care about him, they’ll get him off Twitter and take him outside for some fresh air.
