I dunno' 'bout you, but I'm getting damn tired of hearing Republicans bitching and moaning like little schoolgirls over D. J. Trump being banned from Twitter and Facebook.
That, my fellow Patriots, is not the 'Murican Way!
I'm not sure whether Zuck and Gates and Jack and all those other computer geeks developed their Earth-shattering new social media platforms so they could advance Liberal causes, or that they were just Liberals who developed Earth-shattering new social media platforms.
Something tells me it was the latter.
But whichever, it seems that Conservatives have up to this point been quite accepting of the fact that they're being permitted to play in these Liberals' sandboxes. Allowed! And that those oligarchs can pull the rug out from under them any time they wish.
And they just did.
Trump gave the Leftoids the sword with which to slay his metaphorical dragon, and they did. And no amount of wailing and gnashing of teeth has so far caused them, the self-appointed "Masters of the Universe," to capitulate. Why should they? They have all the cards! They have the enemy on his knees, almost completely without the resources to communicate with half the Country. They just proved it. They gave him his Oversight Board decision, and it was to keep him in "Time Out." Most likely forever. And unless or until he or his supporters change the equation, it's likely to stay exactly as it is:
Controlled by "Progressives."
And what if the enemy someday finally relents? Should Trump and his supporters then return to Silicon Valley, hat in hand, begging to be let back in the fold? Can you see that happening? Neither can I...
That's why I suggest he and his supporters finally pony up the cash necessary to successfully compete. Finally. To dig down and produce the "whip out" necessary to play with the Big Dogs for a change. To create, or buy, or build the platforms that will endeavor to compete with the Twitters and the Facebooks and the InstaGrams, and any other social media platform necessary to fight and to win. Are these guys pikers? Are there no Conservative risk-takers? Don't they believe enough in their message to bankroll it? You mean we can't get a dozen Republican $Billionaires together and come up with the resources to compete with these "Captains of Wokedom?"
I predicted early this year that Trump would quickly put together a Gigonda media company, from parts and pieces out there and already available, and replete with an avenue to compete with those who have just "cancelled" him. He'd better get started. 2022 is just around the corner.
However, can't you just imagine how much fun it would be if DJT had his own media platform and could communicate with his followers, anytime, 24-7? Without editorial interference from the Zuckerburgs of the world? Yeah, me too...
