Nate Silver Drops 2026 Engagement Chart — Then Gets Wrecked Over Communist Labeled ‘Right-Leaning’ – Twitchy

Nate Silver, the data, numbers and charts ‘guru’, took to X tonight with a chart showing accounts with highest engagement so far in 2026, allegedly. Take it with a grain of salt. 

These are the Twitter/X accounts with the most engagement so far in 2026. I suppose I had some intuition for how bad it was, but jeez, this is what you get when the ecosystem is broken. pic.twitter.com/zHrS7T0iVD

Obviously, right leaning accounts are in red, Leftist accounts are in blue and ‘neutral’ accounts are in gray. Some folks had issues with how accounts were labeled.

Jackson Hinkle is openly Marxist

Yeah… Jackson Hinkle founded the American Communist Party, meaning he’s about as left as they come.

And Al Jazeera, TMZ and Russia Today are supposedly neutral? Hahahaha

This entire graphic is fake and gay. https://t.co/SOd8t670zX

Jackson Hinkle is literally part of the American Communist Party. https://t.co/HkgRcsZ8ZL

One huge complaint was labeling Hinkle as ‘right leaning’. He has labeled himself a Marxist/Leninist. He is not right leaning, at all.

This is a good metric of where people are politically. X is not “rigged,” the Left wing since WW2 was always supported (and made practically compulsory) by absolute narrative control over media and academia.

Now that both are in decline, normalcy is slowly returning. https://t.co/w9Wo3dAuNy

Gosh, let’s hope that is the case.

“Obama Total engagement = 11M”

Today alone he got 28M. pic.twitter.com/A3TIoUcL9h

Engagement is not views, but there are many who don’t view this chart as completely accurate.

Also your ranked Nick Fuentes, Candace Owens, and Andrew Tate as red accounts when in fact they’re not. Your read on things is highly, highly biased.

When an effeminate guy was censoring the president of the United States in 2021, was Twitter broken, Nate? To every action there is a reaction. X is the reaction to Twitter’s speech Czars during COVID lockdowns and abuses.

Exactly. The Right was unable to get traction on Twitter back then. That’s why they were unpopular. The message of conservatism is a good one.

The other reality that maybe you aren’t considering is that the blue bubbles despite their rage and fury and media control don’t reflect the actual population as evidenced in November 2024. The pendulum is constantly swinging. It is swinging to the right and it hasn’t even hit…

Maybe, just maybe, Americans are exhausted by the rush to medically transition children, the government’s relentless tax grabs, and the steady erosion of personal liberty.

It’s interesting how in the analysis is missing anything about the 2020 censorship Internet era. That changed the eco-system very much.

It changed everything. The Left tried to silence the people — and the people pushed back hard.
