Last week the corrupt media’s penchant for spinning all things conservative caused a near-fatal case of whiplash.
The left began by chastising conservatives for supposedly building “its own echo chamber,” but by the next day, when news broke that Devin Nunes was resigning from Congress to serve as the CEO of Donald Trump’s new media company, the complained-of conservative ecosystem merely represented grift. Both narratives are false, however, which is precisely why leftists peddled them so hard.
Axios launched the “echo chamber” accusation with its article titled, “Right wing builds its own echo chamber.” “Conservatives are aggressively building their own apps, phones, cryptocurrencies and publishing houses in an attempt to circumvent what they see as an increasingly liberal internet and media ecosystem,” the Axios article began.
The article then highlighted plans for the YouTube alternative Rumble and Trump’s social media company, Truth Social, to expand their reach by taking the companies public. Also highlighted was the social app Gettr that former-Trump aide Jason Miller launched, as well as conservative efforts to compete in cryptocurrency, phones, cloud storage, and book publishing.
“The bottom line,” Axios closed, was that, “Conservative media has been a powerhouse for a long time, but this phase of its expansion isn’t just about more or louder conservative voices — it’s about building an entire conservative ecosystem.”
The refusal by conservatives to continue “to consume” the product of the increasingly “deranged and unaccountable lefty media” is not about building an echo chamber, however: It is about competition and choice. And branding these new business ventures an “ecosystem” and “echo chamber” merely reveal the left’s panic over their inability to control the narrative.
The corrupt media quickly put a brake on the echo-chamber attack when...

Now thems’s words with meaning.
No longer was the story about an “ecosystem,” it was now about “grift.”
Folks,
what does history tell us?
The 1840’s were terrible moral conditions. the bottom of the barrels. It began a swing to correct this. temperance, great awakening, etc. Ended in an overswing maybe, depending on your perspective, in prohibition and than began the slide downward again.
we may be pushing up the hill again from the bottom. Long hard process, but been done before.
So everyone, lets get in and push and stop bitching.
A video content producer can make more money on rumble than youtube. Sooner or later that news will spread.
The left has been wrong for years, cheating, lying and doing evil to get elected.
Dems couldn’t get elected without the full cooperation from the media and cheating at elections. Voter ID for every election and no voting by mail will shut Dems down forever.
In my opinion, as the divide widens, the chances of Civil War II going hot become greater. I also believe that it is no longer a matter of “if” but “when”.
“EVERYONE SHOULD GET OUT OF Twitter, Facebook, Meta and all those left wing censoring democrat media programs.”
Disagree! All leftards should be forced to stay there and rot, and heavily restricted from President Trump’s platforms. We know there will be attacks on his systems of all sorts once President Trump goes public.
Your tagline validates mine. Btw, its a frosty -1 F here at the ranch this morning.
Chilly indeed! 2 days ago it was 65 here. Today it’s in the 30s.
Gotta love the great American Midwest.

My well house heat lamps timed out too early, so I had to trudge out and turn on the milk house heater. It was 18F in the well house.
Their stupid scream outs against all things conservative are heard as just blah, blah, blah at this point.
Yawn.
I see this comment all the time.
What would the trigger be?
Given all the BS that has been perpetrated against us to date: a stolen election, patriots locked up in DC, abandoning US Citizens in Afghanistan while arming our enemies there, vaccine mandates forced upon us causing job loss and worse, a wide open border letting millions of illegals into the country to plunder at will, and devaluing the dollar like no other time in history just to name a few things.
So my question is, what will it take to start this inevitable CWII
Ain’t gonna happen.
The election should have been the cause. No free honest elections means no voice for us. Funny how people don’t understand that.
More likely we’ll be cattle car’d then some sort of cw2.
The left may talk about tolerance, competing ideas, etc.but what they really want is ideological homogeneity under their yoke.
That conservatives are building their own economy, online presence, and culture is great. It hastens the day of a complete cultural divorce.
Anything, and everything, that allows them to lose control makes them go crazy. Each and everyone of us, every day, should do one little thing that we can do to help them get even crazier… And always refuse to play their game by their rules.
Leftards shrieking while their heads explode,
Trump Truth nipping at their heels.
I know it’s been said many times many ways:
Let’s go Brandon! Go woke and go broke.
It’s not as hard on the nerves.
“The left might not understand Nunes’s decision, but here’s hoping it learns his reason soon—and the hard way.”
Amen.
You hit the nail on the head with your tag line. It really depends on the leftist in person. For example, a few of them I know who were constantly on Facebook whining about how Trump was a dictator, how Biden will be the greatest president ever, etc. Have now gone totally silent with Biden in office and not a single comment about the inflation, continuing Covid cases, unconstitutional mandates, etc. If it was trump doing that it would be daily posts about how this is The worst thing ever he has done until a few days later the same thing.
I have excepted those of the people you could never peacefully coexist with again. No matter what pretty pictures they post of the snow, their cat, flowers, etc. They hate you with every fiber of their being. The feeling is mutual.
