They count on short memories. They’ll bounce back.

I’m almost counting on an EMT strike, if not a natural one from a solar burst, to completely undo the artificial tech world that many leftist thrive off of. It would hurt bad, but so does chemo.

It is a good start. May just be the first phase. How many are just noticing what is going on and join the exodus? How many liberals will follow so they can continue bashing Republicans.

If Twitter, et al become Liberal echo chambers where is the fun in that?

Many of Trump’s followers are liberals. They see that in the replies to his tweets. They may follow him on a new site.

“Lots, but this slide is just getting started.”

Hopefully but I’ll believe it when I see it. The US is only about 22-23% of all Twitter users worldwide.

The conservative versions of twitter and FB are difficult to use and don’t have the features.

I use FB for my business -I obtain about 25-30% of annual sales from FB. I also use FB to check out hobbyist groups I belong to.

I have found vintage photos on FB I never found on google. etc.

Good news for the morning. That’s why Twatter “allowed” a Trump video yesterday because it was “not a violation”.

They thought with this gesture, they’re gonna be alright with us conservs, and not make us go to Gab or Parler. Too late assholes.

This is our salt march.

Remember Gandhi:

Mahatma Gandhi found in salt a powerful symbol that could unite the Indian nation. Gandhi presented the British government with many demands. ... When Gandhi reached the port town of Dandi, he broke the salt law ceremoniously by making salt from sea water.
