I have friends who, planning to run for office someday, refuse to blog or tweet, lest they say something off. This seems anachronistic and counterproductive. The influencer-politician boundary is already collapsing; at least two Substackers have posted their way to the White House; I predict we will have a political creator win elected office within the next 4 years. We are already entering a post-cancel-culture era. Everyone has demons in their internet archives—please don’t dig up my old op-eds—so a scrubbed social history looks far more suspicious than a noisy and confusing one. Just look at Trump: it’s not about message discipline, but flooding the zone.
