Parler

[jhu72]

Bill Gates review of Parler.

All these programs / apps are dangerous to society because Americans aren't mature enough to make use of them intelligently. Scumbags / conmen / salesmen like it that way. The fewer protections the better, the easier to shear the sheep. Parler seems to be the worst of a bad lot.

IMO the term "scumbag" is pretty dog gone appropriate for a guy like Bill Gates? So now Bill Gates has somehow earned the right to label who is a scumbag? Why don't we just allow the wolves to guard the henhouses of America.

That was '72 not Gates.
He's right, but it wasn't a quote far as I could tell.

It was definitely not a quote.

Apropos that Joe and Kamala are taking over for the final swirl.

The values of this country are becoming more unrecognizable each day.

Was watching a progressive political commentary show on You Tube in which they discussed Parler. Quite a number of progressives have created accounts on that ultra reich wing site which claims it believes in unrestricted free speech. Strangely (no, not really) many members of the non reich wing bent have reportedly been banned for daring to stray from the deranged fascist viewpoint.

Parler = politically correct far reich delusionalism.

I stand corrected sir, you are right. That was after 2 cups of joe. Time for Roxy and i to take a stroll.

Give Roxy a scratch and a rub for all of us.

Already done, Roxy loves her belly rubs.

Once again the left thinking they are smarter than the rest, protecting Americans from *gasp* themselves!

Darwin works just fine. Let him.

I created an account on Parler.

Fake name, disposable email addy, obviously a guy who didn't want to be held to account in the real world for what I posted online.

I made an opening post filled with promises that Trump would win the election because of all the reasons Giuliani and Powell toss over the airwaves, but I promised a happy ending and indicated that I knew stuff that hasn't been made publicly available. The classic but tired conspiracy theory launching pad. Total BS, but I tried to sound informed. I had a quiet weekend, after all.

On Facebook, what I wrote would have been torn down and I would have been settled into FB jail for a month. My friends would have challenged my conclusions until this happened. I mean, I really sailed beyond the pale.

On Parler, I had about thrice the likes I've ever earned on Facebook, where I have 300 real friends. More agreeable comments than I've ever seen on FB (and I never replied to any of the Parler comments). I was suddenly super popular!

It appears to me that the Parler demographic is eager for a believable way to keep Trump in office, and they're gonna be pist once it becomes clear that Trump is gonna be a normal citizen with Secret Service security (if he opts for it) and lots of legal troubles and a dwindling bank account. His fans are gonna have to go to the internet to follow news from Newsmax and OAN to get encouragement. They'll have to pay for a subscription sooner or later, and rallies will sell tickets. Trump fandom will be monetized just like rock band fandom is.

I thought that this would spell the end of Trumpism, but now I'm not so sure.

Oh, I hate to post twice in a row, but this is what popped up in my recent visit:

Nope. Tried to tell TrumpFans that this ain't just a four year "anomaly". You can't cram the TrumpGenie back in the bottle.

Just wait 'til you conservatives have real choices for real, smart, responsible Conservative Republican leadership that will actually govern like you want.

And TrumpNation picks more people like Trump instead. Because YOU told them that that's what you wanted.

Oh, I think it's a GREAT idea for FoxNation and some of the posters here to egg these people on, and tell them that our elections are fraudulent without a whit of evidence.

Keep it up, TrumpNation. I'm sure this is a fine idea.

It's been four years of "I told ya so" with Trump. What's another four, right?

But the majority of Republicans are TrumpFans. They ARE the party.

They will vote in the primaries as he orders and behave as he prescribes. This means 50 million or so well armed and less-than-thoughtful cultists eager to be rebellious nationwide. And they're completely capable of directing the republican party because they're numerous and active and established. This party is going to become increasingly the party of trump, which is a long term recipe for political disaster.

I would be delighted if some competent conservative gathered the tropes that Trump stumbled upon, and rode this movement to a strong run for the white house in 2024. But does anyone think that Trump will allow someone to earn the glory promised by his cult?

Nope.

Trump will be in the primary in 2023. Unless it is one of his idiot sons, he will not endorse anyone else. If we think he's over the edge now, just give him 4 years of frustration and a dwindling fan base and legal troubles and financial crises.

Real republicans will be aghast at this. But the voter base is the ultimate vote so Trump will be the R candidate in 2024 unless good luck intercedes.

Methinks Gary was sitting downtown in the railway station one toke over the line when he wrote all that. Sweet Jesus, Gary, you've got your nuts all twisted up and are going to gather up a bunch of like minded folks totin' guns and fight, fight, fight at the Capitol. You given that a lot of thought?

No. It's been 4 years of "You lost! Suck it up, liberal fool. 'Winning' is what we do!".

Turnabout is not considered fair play among the 2nd amendment people who support Trumpism.

Gary Medlin? Why didn't you go with Charles UFarley or Phil McCracken?

Because.....I am poorly informed as to the voices of the strenuous right? I poke around Parler with trepidation -- never comfortable that the next click won't crater my hard drive or show me something I can never unsee.

Oh you're definitely going to end up watching a German video of women drinking unspeakable things from glasses on a site like that. But I meant have some fun with the name. Sully Sullinger or John Cocktosin or Lacey Underall or Dr Rosenpenis etc. Have some fun with it while the Trojan horse ruins your computer, and likely your appetite, for a while.

I don't know if this what you meant, but I read it as Medlin not being 3PP but rather some nutcase that popped into his feed. I read it as 3PP has another made up moniker..of course I may have misread.

Clever names..
