The Tweets That Got Trump Banned Were Far from His Worst

Given the events of this past week, you're also forced to make a choice at this crossroads. Do you support democracy? Or "speech", including speech that has a clear and direct connection to violent mobs?

I choose elections. We need to clamp down on the speech that causes insurrections, mob mentality, and ultimately prevent further attacks on the centers of democracy.

All actual conservatives, or all present-day Republicans? If we're talking about the latter, we disagree over whether it's a bad thing.

I don't necessarily have a problem with the existence of sites like Parler that cater to extremists (I'm using 'extremists' in a historical context here, rather than by present-day unpopularity).

What I think is harmful is the 'hey man, it's all cool!' environment, in which a ten year old can start out at PewDiePie and wind up two years later as some Qanon nut with cranial tongs and a poster of Dylan Roof in his locker.

So let a thousand Parlers bloom, as far as I'm concerned, but give mainstream sites strong enough moderation to allow rational, humane people a place to discuss issues.

"silence all conservatives"

No, only those with extremist and dangerous views.
