I wouldn't know about that, I was not on Twitter when Brexit was being campaigned. What I do know is that, unlike possibly every other platform, on Twitter, it always felt like Trump would win.



I'm convinced Twitter single-handedly won the election. Everyone that are pro Trump seems to be coming from Twitter, with the same talking points as Musk. Elon sure got it's money's worth.


Is it surprising ? Twitter is owned by a guy* who fully backed Trump and thrown a ton of money behind.

*Which also happen to be a guy that needs a 'get out of jail free' card, that Trump can offer


In 2020 it also looked like Biden would win after Trump botched America's Covid response.

Due to how Twitter works I think it generally better reflects how people are feeling, especially these days with many filters removed.
