Conservatives should create their own social media.

Two observations to that:
1) I am not certain it is healthy long term for folks with common sense, liberty loving normal folks, and traditionalists to remain inside their own echo chamber. We routinely deride the lefties for pretty much sounding like a pack of parrots and beyond that, the self-reinforcing feedback of the same ideas being endlessly left unchallenged and amplified has pretty much created nut cases out of the left. I do not want that to happen with us over another generation.
2) Any of the 'useful idiots' on the other side that get mugged and start rethinking their assumptions ought to be able to know that there are other dissenting views around and be able to easily find them. Those lefties with any brains are going to be converting over to our way of thinking after life knocks them around a little bit. We should be readily available to welcome them and tutor them in the ways of the light side...

“Any of the ‘useful idiots’ on the other side that get mugged and start rethinking their assumptions ought to be able to know that there are other dissenting views around and be able to easily find them.”

But what’s happening now is that Facebook, Google and Twitter are beginning to make sure that the useful idiots never see the dissenting views. And without conservative social media they will never see it - they won’t have any place to go.

BTW I’m not for living in an echo chamber either, but neither am I for letting the left have an unchallenged monopoly of the media.
