To have less Democrats. . Dems have outnumbered Republicans on Twitter two to one. Now Twitter has over a million new Twitter followers- and I bet tons of them are Republicans. Plus - there are so many disabled people, long Covid folks who depend on Twitter for support and info on the latest treatments. You can follow tons of scientists, doctors , virologists to get up to the minute studies and info. NFT artists have a huge Twitter community. No place else can I actually have a conversation with my favorite authors.
