What's up with conservatives crying about losing Twitter followers

[Proud liberal 80]

1. For one, I thought they were leaving twitter and going to Parler

2. Didn’t they tell there followers to leave twitter and meet them at Parler...maybe that’s the reason

1. It's more that all their Q Anon, Nazi followers were banned

Twitter recently banned large numbers of accounts that were breaking their Terms of Service with crazy Q Anon nonsense, white supremacy violent statements, etc.

So these conservatives complaining about lost followers are inadvertently outing the nature of their fanbase.

2. Or, maybe the bots accounts are being shut down.

Good points about Parler and telling one's audience to leave Twitter, though. I'm sure that accounts for a lot of it, as well.

3. What people above said, plus...

She may have some old followers from her CNBC years (prior to 2014) who suddenly woke up and realized she was insane and that they were still following her, were mortified, and unfollowed her.

The CNBC years is why so many people on Twitter were posting things like, "My god, what happened to Maria Bartiromo! She used to be a serious person..." blah blah. I think a lot of investment/financial people forgot she existed until she popped up again as a kook, and no real business/finance people watch Fox Business--they watch CNBC and Bloomberg (or subscription services/wires).

4. It's in the Federalist Papers

All men have an inalienable right to retain their Twitter followers, anything otherwise will lead to tyranny. I can't remember if it was Hamilton or Madison who texted that.
