Follow me here:

If I had a goal of making it to 100K followers by election day, that would be very difficult/unlikely. But it would not be impossible. I would need a few viral tweets, some help, and luck. Most importantly, I would need to avoid doing things to lose followers.

The way I run my account now would make it almost impossible because I undermine that goal daily. I tweet things critical of Trump, Biden, D& #39;s, R& #39;s, the press, celebrities etc.

When I do that, I knowingly alienate some people from wanting to follow me.

If I wanted just to gain followers, I would target one group and exclusively try to appeal to that group.

But my goal isn& #39;t really to gain followers. Instead, my goal is simply to inform people and share my views. Thus I don& #39;t mind alienating some potential followers.

That analogy also applies to certain politicians. If you& #39;re down and your goal is to win an election, you probably shouldn& #39;t be constantly doing things that could alienate potential voters. If your goal is simply to appeal to a base of supporters, I guess it doesn& #39;t matter.
