But you already knew that.
It turns out, I was wrong. ABC's chief political analyst doesn't block people on Twitter just for pointing out how horribly wrong he has been about everything.
Instead, Mr. Dowd's blocks people on Twitter based on their opinion of Chinese food:
@theZenCorner thank you. As i said, i am very willing to listen to opposing viewpoints. Just not wonton disregard for the truth— Matthew Dowd (@matthewjdowd) January 1, 2017
Actually, Mr. Dowd -- who lies a lot and can be incredibly thin-skinned and insulting when he's not wallowing in a tub of banal "Love Is The Answer!" bromides -- just doesn't care to listen to people who lie a lot and are insulting:
@theZenCorner i don't agree with that. I am not going to listen to folks who don't care about the truth and insult people.— Matthew Dowd (@matthewjdowd) January 1, 2017
Which begs the question, how exactly does ABC's chief political analyst plan to report knowledgeably about the antics of the Trumpshirts and their Dear Leader if he refuses to listen insulters and liars?
@NYCdisinterest those aren't trump voters. Those are trump fans. I block those.— Matthew Dowd (@matthewjdowd) January 1, 2017
Wow. Just wow.

You shouldn't rush to judgement regarding Matthew Dowd, overly tall Round Eyes. Though I must say, Dowd is being somewhat superficial as to the "truth" about Chinese food.
Disregard for wonton? OK. But what about the more popular dishes: General Tso Chicken, Sweet & Sour Chicken, Fried Rice? To say nothing of Crab Rangoon, or the great Egg Roll polarization that is tearing our country asunder - chicken vs pork vs vegetarian.
That's why Dowd gets the big bucks.
"those aren't trump voters. Those are trump fans. I block those."
No, dude, if they voted for Trump, they are Trump voters. You don't get to parse them by your personal preference. Every last one of them did this to us. That is the only relevant criterion. Now what was it you were saying about truth?
P.S. Blocking them does not, in fact, cause them to cease existing.
