I do worry about what would happen if Twitter started banning other people besides Trump. It raises some real questions.

Would they come for me? What would I do with my spare time? How would I tell you all how happy and carefree I had suddenly become? It’s a real conundrum.

I am being glib, perhaps overly so. But I do think people are overreacting to an event that is likely smaller in effect than either side thinks.

Trump has not been silenced. He's the president. He has a multitude of methods available for speaking to the public.

As for the consequences of a mass Twitter crackdown on widely held political views: If that happened, it would render Twitter an ideological clubhouse, rather than the all-day-open-to-(most)-all politics chatroom it is now.

Finally, it's odd that after years of arguing that bakers shouldn't have to make wedding cakes for gay marriages because of sincerely held beliefs, a portion of the right is now arguing that Twitter and FB should have to offer services to Trump, despite sincerely held beliefs.

Anyway, glad we could all engage in discourse on this here discourse site, on a Friday evening, please put gum arabic in your demerara syrup when you make an Old Fashioned, subscribe to my newsletter, etc.
