Trump Needs to Endorse Alternate Social Media
We barely skated by this past election, and you can attribute the majority of the left's victories to the advantages they pull in social media, especially Twitter. It is obvious at this point that Twitter has found a reliable means of flagging user accounts as either progressive or deplorable shitlord which they leverage to promote/demote user content. The visibility granted to leftist accounts allows their tweets to garner massive amounts of likes/RTs within 24-48 hours period, usually to the tune of 100-200k for likes and a decent fraction of that for RTs.
If you were paying attention to Twitter in the weeks before and after the midterms, you would have noticed the massive visibility enjoyed by democratic candidates like Beto O'Rourke, Andrew Gillum, Kyrsten Sinema, and others vs. the visibility of their republican counterparts. Republican tweets had a minuscule fraction of the interactivity found with democrat tweets which had likes into the tens of thousands within mere hours, greatly overshadowing the republicans who would get only a couple thousand in quadruple the time frame. Additionally, you may have also noticed:
* Any political trend on Twitter 99% of the time is either pro-left and/or anti-right. Hardly ever is there a republican politician or republican-leaning issue on the trend list that isn't dominated by leftists expressing their unmitigated hatred for the republican party. When the trend is democratic, it's nothing but lefties gushing over it
* Comment sections are always chock-full of leftists spewing vitriol, especially under content posted by a republican account such as Donald Trump
* When a company does something that steps away from the leftist ideological line, lefties tweet about it en masse which results in hundreds of thousands of likes and RTs. This usually results in the company buckling under fear of a PR disaster like what happened recently with Chipotle. Prior to that, it was Starbucks and then NRA discount programs getting zapped. There have probably been a few others in between
The reason for all of this is because of the aforementioned flag that is set on all of our accounts. Leftist content is ordered to top priority, hence why leftists get so much more visibility and why trends and comment sections are dominated by leftists. All of this is huge because of the effect it has on a political party's morale. You can bet that it had a key part to play in motivating leftists to vote this November and perhaps even demoralizing republicans to the point where they just stayed home on election day. This election meddling most certainly cost us the house. We barely held onto the senate. 2020 will be worse if current trends continue.
But it doesn't end with simple suppression of non-left content, but outright banning of conservative users altogether. Recently, Laura Loomer was permanently banned from Twitter for speaking out against FGM and, within 24 hours, was suspended from Facebook for 30 days. And even more recently, Jesse Kelly, a conservative Christian radio host, was permanently suspended from Twitter with no reason given. These suspensions follow the near-internet-wide deletion of Alex Jones, social media's beta test before moving on to other targets.
So what needs to be done? As it is, the left-controlled social media services that currently exist are a prison for anyone right of center. They want us to remain on their services where they can hold us on squelch, but we need to move to alternate social media services, and fast. There's Bitchute for YouTube, Voat for Reddit, Gab for Twitter, FreeZoxee for Facebook, and Minds which is a Twitter/YouTube hybrid, but no one is using them. We need major political figureheads to be the first ones on the dance floor and take to these platforms. Once this begins to happen, tens of thousands and then more will begin their exodus. Once we have reclaimed our ability to mobilize, the game will change, but it needs to happen now. Otherwise, 2020 will not be looking great for the republican party.
