An infuriating Twitzease is raging across the Twittersphere at this hour, according to researchers at the Center for Twitzease Control. Known as #politflammation, this extremely simple text mutation appears capable of transforming the most innocuous conversation into a bitter bout of incivility.
Symptoms: Tweets are replied to or retweeted (with the TZT tag) and one of two words is inserted: “Repubs” or “Dems”
Retweet Tag: TZT
Hashtags: #politflammation #ctwitzc
Example:
- @exemplaryfelineadorer I don’t get why my kitty likes to go outside and play in puddles
- TZT @exemplaryfelineadorer I don’t get why Repubs like to go outside and play in puddles #politflammation #ctwitzc
