While I feel a great deal of Schadenfreude watching this, I don't think this is going to end with these four Twitter execs in jail. If the tables were turned, and these Twitter execs were all conservative, they'd never be able to work anywhere again, they'd be hounded wherever they went, and they probably would see the inside of a jail cell.
In a just world, there'd be jail, or maybe even hanging, for the traitors who messed with our elections, be they liberal or conservative. But that's not the world we live in, alas.
Aside: I don't like overdramatic titles like the thumbnail above, which says "Boebert ENDS Twitter!" I see some version of this title all the time:
So-and-so ABSOLUTELY DESTROYS So-and-so!
So-and-so leaves So-and-so SPEECHLESS!
It's a bunch of breathless nonsense, and it's usually not backed up by what's actually on the video. How many times have I seen "Ben Shapiro leaves woke college student tongue-tied!"? I watch the video, and by the end, the woke college student doesn't look as if he's backing down, or utterly defeated, or whatever (maybe he's too stupid to know he lost). To be fair, I have seen videos where a conservative asks a pointed question to which no one has the balls to respond (here, for example, where there's a long pause followed by a very Nazi-ish "We ask the questions"), but such instances are rare. Stop exaggerating, YouTubers, when you craft your video titles. You don't help your own case by sounding melodramatic.
