People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

Mark NSFW content.
No doxxing people.
Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
No international politcs
Be excellent to each other.
Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.
If a tweet (or similar) makes a statement of fact, either mark it as "satire" in the body or provide the original source link backing up the statement

My Uber reductionist explanation.

I get you scared. You vote for the cure to what I'm scaring you on.

Most people, except the very scared, don't vote.

Republicans say "hell is coming unless you vote for me", which gets people scared and thus voting

Democrats, "well try our hardest to build helpful systems that make the middle class grow again" ...... People stop listening and don't vote.......

That's how

Fuck. 2020 got more people voting than any other presidential election in recent history and it STILL didn't break 50% of legal voters.

Maybe dems should say stuff in their ads like "we don't want a fascist regime. This is America. Vote blue to fire these morherfuckers"
