Twitter’s Jack Dorsey believes that an article and series advocating for One Party Rule in the United States is a “great” read. The authors of this article state that California is the supreme role model for this effort. I know, you laugh. But the problem is, they are serious.
The Great Lesson of California in America’s New Civil War
Why there’s no bipartisan way forward at this juncture in our history — one side must win
I would urge all to read the article in its entirety, particularly since those who run Twitter have given it a positive affirmation.
Great read https://t.co/O2djSQf8Qv

The authors make the following key points:
And finally:
America is desperate for a functioning political supermajority that can break out of our political stasis and boldly move ahead and take on our many 21st-century challenges. The nation can’t take much more of our one step forward, one step back politics that gets little done despite the need for massive changes.
[…]California, as usual, resolved it early. The Democrats won; the Republicans lost. The conservative way forward lost; the progressive way forward began. As we’ve laid out in this series, California is the future, always about 15 years ahead of the rest of the country. That means that America, starting in 2018, is going to resolve it, too.
Of course, the article in question blatantly ignores the reality of California’s finances, which are in the toilet. The article also blatantly ignores the myriad of problems in that state concerning the homeless, the crime problems regarding the incredibly misguided sanctuary city policies, the burdensome tax laws that have driven many corporations and individuals out of the state, and don’t forget the hatred of the Second Amendment that is also driving corporations such as Weatherby elsewhere.
But that’s ok! You see, Twitter’s Jack thinks advocating One Party Rule is a great read! Then again, this is the guy who runs a corporation that, as of 11am Eastern time today, allowed threatening tweets to stand from a guy who is now under arrest for calling for the murder of Congressman Bob Goodlatte (R-VA).
Given those threatening tweets are still up, this looks to be a bit hypocritical.
We’re committing Twitter to help increase the collective health, openness, and civility of public conversation, and to hold ourselves publicly accountable towards progress.

Launching a new study today with @SusanBenesch and @dangerousspeech to help diminish abuse on Twitter. It’s a simple idea, and we have an open and accountable way to share the findings. https://t.co/aH2KCWJiRd

There are so many problems with that article and the others in the series, that one hardly knows where to begin breaking it down. However, it’s the overarching theme of the articles that are incredibly disturbing given all we’ve seen across social media and in the public space.
This article essentially advocates that one party and therefore one voice is the only way for this Republic to survive. Folks, that’s not only censorship; it is a direct slam against our Founders and our Constitutional freedoms.
Sorry Jack. Twitter does censor and/or shadow ban users. Bridget Johnson, Brad Thor, and Senator Ted Cruz are prime examples of both.
Essentially, the authors of the article have come out of the closet and are advocating totalitarian control. Never mind the lessons of history regarding Russia, Germany, and now Venezuela. The authors want everyone to toe the line, THEIR line. Folks, channeling 1984 is not a good look.
Our Constitution was designed to ENSURE that the government would not function efficiently; the Founders had experienced efficient government, and wanted nothing to do with it. That is what Checks and Balances are FOR. I don’t want the Democrats running unopposed, and I don’t want the Republicans doing so either.
Do you know how the idiots that wrote this article differ from the rest of the leftists (democrats)? Thee guys are honest about their goals…
Got it.:-)
Only a true idiot would look at the basket case that is CA and think THAT is the wave of the future.Better to have that civil war I keep hearing about and finally wipe out the Prog plague once and for all to prevent such a nightmarish future.
despite the need for massive changes
Well, see, this is what calls someone out as a prog. I don’t see any massive changes that are required. Well, at least, not as of the beginnings of the culture war. Now I see a lot of changes that need to be made – back to the way it was. But, certainly, not a lot of changes going “forward”.
As to the U.S. turning into CA? Oh, it is certainly possible. But it’s not likely to be complete. There will either be war, or large chunks will break off and go their own way.
It would be interesting to see these peoples response if that one party rule went the other direction. All hell would break loose.
[…] been some interest on the web about Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey liking a Medium article that calls for the US to be made into […]
The whole purpose of unbridled immigration, both legal and illegal, is to create a dominate democrat party. Build the wall or else.
Amazing what happens when you are insulated in your own bubble of progressiveness, that you can’t even see the shit hole your state is becoming…
Or is having your streets filled with the homeless, their feces and needles a feature they are going for?
I hate California Nazis.
