Parler, the Trumpy Alternative to Twitter, Is Already Falling Apart

[Newest Reality]

This is very revealing of the mindset we are dealing with and it is even an example of their effect on the culture and democracy itself.

Parler billed itself as the free-speech, conservative-friendly alternative to Twitter. The problem is, most conservatives find Twitter better at amplifying their views and voices.

June was a grim month for Donald Trump supporters on Twitter. The social media giant was adding warning labels to some of the president’s tweets, and banned an internet-famous MAGA “meme-smith.”

Fearful that more crackdowns would soon follow, Trump supporters began to flock to Parler, a budding social network that bills itself as the free-speech, conservative-friendly alternative to Twitter.

Prominent Trump supporters joined the platform and urged their fans to follow, and the social media network surged on Apple’s App Store. Trash-talking Trump personality Dan Bongino took an ownership stake in Parler, and promoted it to his followers.

At the height of Parlermania, Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA), who was on the verge of losing an attempt to sue Twitter over a parody account, compared Twitter to dead social network Myspace amid the Parler exodus.

1. Speaking of Nunes

That fake cow on Twitter that he's trying to sue was banned from Parler almost immediately by those bastions of liberty and free speech.

10. Parler, the non-fantasy Galt's Gulch

Randian Fantasy Galt's Gulch: The elect separate themselves from the world and it all comes crashing down, as the Gulchers smugly chortle at those fools.

Non-fantasy Galt's Gulch: The "elect" separate themselves from the world, and it goes along fine without them. Better, in fact, because the toxic saboteurs have effectively put their sabotaging "on strike."
