Twitter Will Survive Longer Than the Washed-Up Celebrities Who Are Quitting It

It’s difficult for many on the Left who have been sheltered in their own tiny worlds to realize that they’ve been led to believe lies.

I have never considered that my patronage of a business, or the lack thereof, would make or break the enterprise. So, I find it amusing that D-list celebrities believe their threats to leave Twitter could make any difference when it comes to the company’s bottom line.

This week, stars who haven’t been relevant in years, such as Toni Braxton and Sara Bareilles, announced that they would leave Twitter in the wake of its purchase by SpaceX founder Elon Musk. Braxton, who last had a Billboard 100 hit in the 1990s, said she was leaving because she saw “hate speech” on the platform since the acquisition late last week. Bareilles, who I think had a hit with “Love Song” in the early 2000s, claims the platform is “just not for me” anymore. 

Apparently, free speech and open banter about political issues are difficult for denizens of the 99-cent bargain CD bin at Walmart to process—and they cannot help but virtue signal about it. Nevertheless, Braxton and Bareilles both still have open and active Twitter accounts.

Another celebrity who has problems with opposing viewpoints is Rob Reiner. The washed-up television star, best known as “Meathead” and who recently admitted to Bill Maher that he gets his news exclusively from leftist propaganda channels like CNN and MSNBC, screeched that he was leaving the platform, too. Yet he has tweeted about a dozen times since that announcement........Ultimately, they can’t quit. It would be the final nail in the coffins of their careers...........And what is it that is so offensive to these people that they would make a stink about wanting to leave a social media platform? The answer, simply put, is the terrifying possibility of reading words with which they disagree............... To Read More....

My Take - First, just because these people are famous and rich doesn't make them "somebodies", because, to quote that famous Hollywood philosopher, Forest Gump, "Stupid is as stupid does".  Cher and a host of other stupid celebrity "nobodies" were leaving America if Trump was elected.  And as far as I can tell, each and every one of those nitwits are still here contaminating America's air with their presence.   What's really fascinating is the idea they actually believe their thoughts mean anything to sane people.
