Leftist Outlet Salon Publishes “25 Conservatives Worth Following On Twitter”

Leftist Outlet Salon Publishes “25 Conservatives Worth Following On Twitter”

They’re all anti-Trump and / or supportive of Obama/leftist policies

I would be horrified and humiliated if I ever made Salon‘s bestest conservatives evah list.  Their list of conservatives worth following on Twitter consists almost exclusively of #NeverTrumpers but includes faux conservatives raking in big bucks as some lamestream media outlet’s token righty.

Some are hailed as supporting open borders, amnesty, ObamaCare, and other assorted regressive policies, others are held up as exemplars of “conservatism” because while they may support the Second Amendment, they hate Trump with a passion.

In other words, the only conservatives worth following on Twitter are anti-Trump and/or not conservative at all.

Salon opines:

Liberals in shock over the the 2016 election were prescribed a heavy dose of reality. “Get out of your bubble,” the doctors note illegibly read.

It was a hard truth for the American left. They found out the U.S. was not as progressive as originally thought. Their steady diet of MSNBC and left-wing op-eds only reinforced biases and preconceived beliefs. The country’s actual, collective tilt wholly evaded them.

One recommended solution: Search out opposing points of view. Turn on Fox News every once in a while; follow more conservative voices on Twitter. This would be an honorable endeavor for liberals, if it didn’t expose them to pure lunacy on a regular basis.

With every right-wing follow added on Twitter, liberals inched closer to the likes of Mike Cernovich and Jack Posobiec appearing on their “who to follow” suggestions. A few brave liberals likely made the leap and added Cernvovich and Posobeic to their timeline, only to find their feeds polluted by offensive nonsense.

But what if we told you there are 25 conservatives actually worth following on Twitter? What if we said that there are conservatives that not only dislike President Trump, but also engage in a level of ideological introspection that has surpassed most liberals? Wouldn’t you have to check them out?

Here’s a sampling of these must-see “conservatives” on Twitter:

I was an early and avid opponent of a Trump candidacy and presidency, but all this sort of thing does is tick me off and make me support him all the more.  If he’s making people who support open borders, amnesty, the AGW hoax, and ObamaCare crazy, he must be doing something right.

I’m a huge fan of Ken Whit, but anyone who thinks he’s in any way a conservative should shut up so people won’t know what a fool they are.

But which conservatives read Salon? It’s ridiculous.
