The nutcases going to Parler is probably a good thing

[Quixote1818]

The vast, vast, vast majority of moderates and just regular folks just trying to get by are on Facebook, Twitter etc. so if the nutcases are over on Parler preaching to the choir their poison stays away from most people and they can just circle jerk all over one another.

2. However, the more they isolate themselves, the crazier they get. nt

11. I totally see your point.

But I think the crazy is only going to ratchet up either way. At this point society just needs to do triage and quickly cut this poison out of the main media bloodstream. Dealing with whatever crazy thing that comes out of their isolation is essentially the same challenge as dealing with it while in the barrage of it like we're doing now, without the nerve racking burden of the barrage itself.

12. At least the FBI will always know where to find them. nt

3. Yup.

I also read something along the lines that a couple of Russians started Parler a while back, so those folks will be fertile soil for all the bot-a-thons and misinformation injections from the get go.

Yummy brainz!

4. And hopefully the DOJ is keeping an eye on them.

Ok, maybe not today but definitely starting January 20,2021.

5. They are probably just one major scandal away from coming back though

I figure someone is going to take some of the domestic terrorism to heart and it will be traced back to Parler.

6. Parler is a Russian operation

these poor people are useful idiots.

[BlueNProud]

7. They're not going anywhere.

8. Too bad that story about it being owned by Soros was a hoax

[LeftInTX]

9. They didn't leave

I check up on them via Ted Cruz's Facebook page.

10. Parler is most likely a Russian creation. See this Twitter thread:

16. I swear

we couldn't make this shit up

18. Excellent research and information.

I saw on the one post that Bradley Cooper is on Parler. Seems strange but funny at the same time.

[CottonBear]

20. I recommend reading the entire thread.

It is fascinating and frightening.

[underpants]

24. I did. I see that the Mercer's have been directly linked.

13. Easier to track when they're all in one place

17. Problem is they are trashing and smearing others who can't see the libelous statements or threats.

At least on FB one could report such posts or threaten to sue if someone didn't remove false and defamatory posts.

21. I have never met a "moderate" Republican

Such people as existed, say back in the 70s, have been driven from the party and are now considered traitors by the Orange Party.

26. GA Senator Loeffler complained about black & Democratic voter registration on Parler:
