I wasn’t going to post this until tomorrow but I decided that it was probably better sooner rather than later.
The conventional position on the right is that Parler was singled out for destruction because the left and tech wanted to silence the voices on the right. That’s certainly true, but I have another theory that I haven’t seen elsewhere, so you once again get the brilliance of my stupidity. So here goes.
It has been reported that when Twitter banned Trump their stock dropped precipitously. Similar things happened to Google and Amazon and Apple. As I have ranted about previously, Trump should leave all these socialist parties platforms and create his own or move to Parler. I postulated that by doing so he would seriously affect their bottom line and apparently I was right. Their attack on Parler was more about money than ideology. If all Trump followers, of which there are almost one hundred million and all the followers of Rush Limbaugh, of which there are 89,000,000 who voluntarily left Twitter in support of Trump, went to Parler not only would their bottom line be affected, so would their illegal monopoly. They could become an afterthought and largely irrelevant. They would become the platform of the socialists talking in their eco chamber having no real affect on the real political narrative.
