The Atlantic seems confused again. Which makes sense since it is a fringe left-wing magazine that is not in the mainstream. Don’t tell that to the upset Kamala-voting writers. They seriously think sex change surgeries are as American as apple pie and baseball. Which is why we get bombarded by hilariously out of touch headlines and articles like the one below.

As the left flees and X loses broader relevance, it becomes a more overtly right-wing site, @alibreland writes. But the right needs liberals on X in order to push conservative perspectives into the mainstream. https://t.co/ZXFAg6CmX7

What an interesting, yet totally wrong premise. Let’s check in with X users who know what’s really going on.
This is what happened
Twitter was a very predominantly left-wing site. Right leaning views were often censored and demoted.Elon balanced scales. To the leftists it seems right leaning because they’re not used to balance debate, they’re used to owning the platform.

Proving yet again that liberals cannot understand nor survive in an environment with true equal speech.
This is what speech without a thumb on the scale of censorship actually looks like.

Let’s check on the reality of the balance of X/Twitter, perhaps most of the issue is really just in the head of liberals who are so used to dominating the narrative that equality feels like oppression. pic.twitter.com/cfphSbIlrf

Yes, X didn’t become more right-wing. It simply transformed into a pro-free speech social network when Elon Musk purchased it. Leftists, who inherently despise free speech (except for themselves), fled to the nearest echo chamber to escape.
These guys know what’s going on.
One might suggest the Left have the Bluesky problem given that everyone thinks their general behavior is somewhere between out-of-touch & mentally ill, yet their reaction to an election in which they totally misread public sentiment has been to flee to an online leftist enclave.

They left on their own accord. I am happy for them to come back if they so choose. We can discuss ideas.🖖. If not – pic.twitter.com/6SAiiE5ANc

The left just cannot tolerate other viewpoints.
They call other ideas “hate speech”.

The Atlantic writer refers to the dying legacy media as ‘mainstream.’ That’s clearly a misnomer. These news sites are not only distrusted by the public, but their ratings are plummeting as well. This has resulted in ongoing mass layoffs. That’s sounds hardly mainstream.
They have only themselves to blame.
By “mainstream” you mean open borders and gender transition nonsense right.

Your attempt to manufacture a reality where twitter loses broader relevance didn’t work the last 3 times you tried it, and it still isn’t working. You should give it up.

The Atlantic and other irrelevant rags keep desperately trying to force this fake premise that X is losing relevance.
One only has to look at the results of this last election: President-Elect Donald Trump and the Republican Party won the White House, the House, and the Senate. X was a springboard for the campaign and its policies. The American people responded to what emanated from X. If that’s not mainstream, we don’t know what is.
