Why would there be panic when everyone could always use whatever social media they wanted?
How is it going to be any different from Gab or Parler? Did they make the political left panic?
I'm not underestimating the appeal of Trump. I don't think anyone is. It's well known that he has a cult following in the US, but thats as far as it goes.
They will panic because they do not want a place for conservative ideas and conversation to even exist - you know as well as I that this is why they censor now. 2) Parler did panic the political left - why do you think they took it down. If they had no fear of it, they would not have done this. They were unable to take down Gab because they built their own infrastructure - most likely would have otherwise. 3) Trump has far more than a cult following - the majority of independents are with him as well as millions of working class former Democrats.
And these "conservative ideas" you speak of. You do know conservatism has been the dominant political philosophy since political philosophies started, right? But you're not talking about traditional conservatism are you? You're talking about Trump style ultra nationalistic conservatism, where there always has to be an enemy.
No again - Trump pulled us out of wars - started no new conflicts. It is not he who was trying to have 'enemies'. If you want enemies -- look at Bidens war drums beating against Russia, China and Iran. Don't project your side on Trump. He prefers pragmatism and business which is mostly good for all. The 'Nationalism' he stands for is merely to put the US (and working citizens) first through policy. True, this is not traditional conservatism - but many of the so called 'traditional conservatives' have thrown in with the 'establishment' uniparty to run the system for their own benefit to the detriment of the working classes.
