Remember how these used to be the champion causes of "conservatives"? Simply matters of convenience now over principle that no Republican can lay claim on going forward.

Okay, if I'm either with you or against you, I'm assuredly against you.
I guess if that makes me a "Democrat" in your tiny addled brain that compulsively picks a fight with virtually every human being who crosses your path, you can consider me a Democrat if it makes you happy...though I'm not. I was eyeballing Ben Sasse just the other day, and really hoping that the GOP comes back to presidential candidates like him so I can vote for them again. Because of all the politicians who gave speeches a couple nights back, he was the one who seemed to actually get it.
You're a d!ck. RA that, if you would.

So what?
They run to Parler and froth at the mouth. Nobody's stopping them.
Twitter is a private company and they can leave up or ban whatever they want, as long as they're willing to lose the users. They aren't required to sit there and passively sit on their hands while people use their platform to spread lies and agitate for another insurrection.
Parler wants to do it, that's their lookout, but they're also going to be on the hook legally if something really nasty gets planned and organized on their platform, too. Which is kind of the risk you run if you provide services to barbarian heathens on the warpath, which is pretty much what a lot of these militant far-right groups essentially are. Which has always been the real problem, all the way back to reddit and then 4chan and then 8chan and now 8kun...the heathens all lather themselves into a fine tizzy, metastasize like cancers, start planning some really vicious and highly illegal stuff...and the legal departments of these platforms blanch and start going: "Whoa."
Whereupon the self-preservation crackdown begins, and the barbarian horde moves on to the next platform until it happens all over again.
As it happens, barbarian hordes are maybe not the safest customers, if you're a social-media platform that relies upon, well, society to continue functioning.

Bush's fell after the economic collapse but was similar to Trump's until then. Trump also had some numbers in the 70s.
So, again, Trump isn't a special case in terms of in-party popularity.

I have conservative friends who still use those platforms. You know why? Because those platforms don't ban conservative speech.
What they ban is racist, hateful, attacking, acting like a complete traitorous #### wad, let's-start-a-civil-war speech.
That's NOT conservative. That's being a dangerous idiot.
So when we start labeling speech correctly and those of you who pretend to be conservative stop championing hateful, bigoted idiots as "conservatives", then we'll realize
You can hop on Facebook right now and preach laissez faire economics, small government, right to own a firearm, support for a Republican candidate, cutting regulations, etc.
But start preaching civil war and white supremacy? Bye. That's not conservative.

Tweeter, Fakebook, etc. are in a monolithic Big Tech-Leftist partnership that has been salivating to commence their authoritarian Great Leap Forward using whatever justification they could burp up. Big Tech media and the leftists in government are ONE and INSEPARABLE, and that relationship makes your statement absolutely false.
Big Tech and the mainstream media are the propaganda wing of the Commiecrat party. Don't try to pull that "private company" bull$hit...
Just like when Harry Reid eliminated the filibuster for judicial nominees back in 2013, you leftists are going to rue the day...

Oh, I actually do fear Twitter and Facebook...but not for the reasons you do. You see a conspiracy because you're obviously a QAnon conspiracist...which is itself the kind of self-sustaining rabbit hole the modern Internet can build.
The truth is actually worse. I don't see a conspiracy because a conspiracy implies someone's in charge of it. There isn't. I actually see a Doomsday machine, a runaway feedback loop that nobody actually controls and in fact has no obvious controls...and probably needs to be turned off altogether. At the very least its user-match algorithms need to be disabled, because a learning computer that tunes itself to the emotional biases of each individual user and feeds them back what it learns they want to see and believe is the most dangerous thing I can imagine and we're just seeing the front wave of what we've actually built there with that beast.

Facebook and Google, Amazon also. These checks on monopolies have worked well in the past with steel, oil, telecoms, and other. Not a history buff in that realm but too big is too big. Capitalism and free enterprise are the bomb but there has to be a check on greed and size/monopoly at some point due to stifling ingenuity. The founders of all these firms have done great and yay for them, but at the point where these corporations become destructive to the competitive process and destabilize the overall mechanism, it's time to step in.

If T3Tiger thinks Twitter is acting like the Chinese communist party, he is wrong.
Trump, Powell and Flynn are acting like Chinese dictator wanna be socialists. They are deep state actors. They have been working against the people. They tried to steal an election from tens of millions of US citizens.

Parler has predictably turned into white supremacist, let's-go-overthrow-the-government-and-here's-how-to-do-it.
There's nothing conservative about it.

The hilarious part of this whole "CCP" thing, of course,

is that the Trumpers are the ones looking to have the government crack down on Twitter and other private businesses, and thinks it's the government's place to decide whether private companies are being "fair."
This is how lost Trumpers are. They don't belong in the Republican Party.

so you hate monopolies now

in the 1980s, the Reagan Administration drastically altered American antitrust policy, virtually eliminating Section 2 cases involving monopolies. This chapter provides a context for that decision by tracing the efforts that the federal government made since 1890 to reconcile an opposition to highly concentrated economic power with the even stronger enthusiasm Americans have always had for the economic success they associated with the nation's largest enterprises. In this setting, judges and government lawyers struggled over the years to come up with a clear concept of monopoly. In the global economy of the late 20th century, the Reagan policy innovation solved that problem and proved to be timely and significant. The new policy allowed American firms to get up to global scale, either through strategic alliances or through mergers that would not have been allowed under previous administrations.

if you are a Student of Reagan's policies, then you should not have a hard time understanding how we got here, polarized media, banks too big to fail, small business unable to compete, massive deficits, and an increasing wealth gap. There is a reason all of these people are so upset that they would be foolish enough to risk their freedom, they are at the end of their ropes. The problem is that they are pointing their fingers at their fellow Americans because they are being lied to. the blame should be directed at 50 years of bad policy that threw the working class under the bus, policies that politicians from both parties voted yay on.
