I think all of Twitter and Facebook thought up this whole concoction that was Joe Biden and how he was "normal" and that Trump was somehow the abnormal one.

Well Obama wasn't near as bad as this and he gave us Trump.

Give it some time and these lefties are going to turn on him, mark my words. Then we get (figuratively) SUPERTRUMP next time around!

I don't have any time for doomin or gloomin or any negativity. We won this last time with laughter and memes and we used that to get our message out how big of a clownworld things were. Meme cannons at the ready everybody, Joe Biden is going to give us a LOT of material.

This isn't the end, it's the beginning of a new chapter.

I don't feel down at all, I feel energized. You didn't really think this was going to be easy, did you? Trump didn't MAGA alone, that was US. He's but one man, we are MANY. Trump showed us that NOBODY in Government is fighting for us, Democrat or Republican.

Get involved. Don't allow today to drown your voice. We've got work to do, we need to crush Social Media and replace it with our own. We've got to run for local offices. We've got to make our voices heard. There are Republicans that need to be primaried.

Hold the line!!! This isn't over, the only difference now is that it's up to us.

This is but one battle and we've still got a war to win.

This two party system has taken a lot from us, their tenure is about to meet a challenger. The Patriot Party. Fly those flags high.

I don't have the answers, other than I've seen the fight in this man. And there's no way he gives up on ANYTHING.

What a bunch of losers. Here's to another $57 BILLION by this time next week!

Reddit was the 3rd most visited site in 2018, it's now the 18th. WE DID THAT!

Fox News had the highest ratings, absolutely destroying everybody else, until they turned on us. Now they're dead last. WE DID THAT!

Gillette couldn't sell razors for months, had to write down $8 BILLION dollars. WE DID THAT!

NFL ratings are down 20% over the past 4 years because they took a knee. WE DID THAT!

Boy Scouts of America got woke, they filed for bankruptcy last year. WE DID THAT!

There's literally a phrase people use when they lose our support. GET WOKE GO BROKE!

WE DID ALL OF THAT.

Social Media is about to find out.

HOLD THE LINE!

For the past 5 years Twitter users have been trained to absolutely HATE things they don't like, Trump gave them an outlet and they were all pretty much focused on him and conservatives.

Now that Trump's gone, and most conservatives as well... Do you think they'll stop with the hate? Of course not, that's who they are. They're filled with hate and rage and they need an outlet.

Mark my words, they will turn on each other for the slightest little thing. Enjoy the show, it's going to be pretty hilarious now that they've lost the power to focus on us.

Here's a story from "The Wall Street Journal Dec. 22, 2020" (https://www.wsj.com/articles/amazon-competition-shopify-wayfair-allbirds-antitrust-11608235127):

To keep customers happy, which Mr. Bezos has long said is Amazon's fixation and growth strategy, executives behind the scenes have methodically waged targeted campaigns against rivals and partners alike -- an approach that has changed little through the years, from diapers to footwear. No competitor is too small to draw Amazon's sights. It cloned a line of camera tripods that a small outside company sold on Amazon's site, hurting the vendor's sales so badly it is now a fraction of its original size, the little firm's owner said. Amazon said it didn't violate the company's intellectual-property rights. When Amazon decided to compete with furniture retailer Wayfair, Mr. Bezos's deputies created what they called the Wayfair Parity Team, which studied how Wayfair procured, sold and delivered bulky furniture, eventually replicating a majority of its offerings, said people who worked on the team. Amazon and Wayfair declined to comment on the matter.

Amazon set its sights on Allbirds, the maker of popular shoes using natural and recycled materials, and last year launched a shoe called Galen that looks nearly identical to Allbirds' bestseller -- without the environmentally friendly materials and selling for less than half the price. "You can't help but look at a trillion-dollar company putting their muscle and their pockets and their machinations of their algorithms and reviewers and private-label machine all behind something that you've put your career against," said Allbirds Co-CEO Joey Zwillinger. "You have this giant machine creating all these headwinds for us." This year, Amazon has zeroed in on Shopify, a fast-growing Canadian company that helps small merchants create online shops. Amazon has established a secret team, "Project Santos," to replicate parts of Shopify's business model, said people familiar with the project. Amazon executives often initiated efforts like these on their own, though in some cases examined by The Wall Street Journal, Mr. Bezos himself was involved, according to former Amazon executives and internal emails.

From its start as an online bookstore 26 years ago, Amazon has expanded into an online retailer with a presence in nearly every major category. It is also the leading provider of cloud-computing services, a gadget maker, a major entertainment player and a rival to United Parcel Service and FedEx. Mr. Bezos is the world's richest man, with a net worth Forbes estimates at $187 billion. He still exhorts employees to consider Amazon a startup. "It is always day one," he likes to say. Day two is "stasis, followed by irrelevance, followed by excruciating, painful decline, followed by death." Mr. Bezos originally considered calling his company Relentless, and www.relentless.com still redirects to Amazon's site.

Back when I started the Internet was a pretty new thing. I'm not going to imply I'm any sort of pioneer or anything, but I've been around for a little while and I've seen some things.

In the early days there was a wealth of innovation, fueled by new technology, interesting people, and venture capital. We had all sorts of people coming up with beautiful and terrible ideas. The good ones got popular, the terrible ones found the door, just how capitalism is supposed to work. There were hiccups along the way, y2k was one, the dotbomb was another. We recovered. Why? How?

We were having fun building something amazing and groundbreaking. We had ideals, the Internet was here to stay and it was meant to bring the entire world together. Good and bad. We were advocates for network neutrality and free speech. The carriers were huge monopolies and we were startups, we were literally the little guys fighting on the front lines against Corporate monopolies. We had visions of bringing together every person on the planet online so they could access any information they wanted at any time, and so they could participate and share what information they had. It was a truly beautiful thing, and I'm proud to be part of that.

Over time there grew giants. Yahoo was the forefront, they made an entire directory of the Internet! Microsoft emerged online from being just a software company. Then came the mother of all innovativeness, Google. Don't be evil. They were the rockstar of the Internet community. Everybody wanted to work there and be part of it.

Facebook was kind of a joke, Twitter was just fucking weird, whatever... normies liked their virtual farms and now people could share pictures of their kids growing up with distant relatives. We brought streaming music to the masses, and then video, and food deliveries, and ride shares, and all of this wonderful stuff. We turned your fucking phone into a portable laptop for fucks sake!

So what happened? Where did it go wrong? Well, consolidation happened.

Google would buy a company here and there, Microsoft and Yahoo would counter. Facebook saw Social Media for what it was and made the unit of measurement called "the Instagram". Consolidation continued and companies were measured by whatever these ever-growing companies would pay in "Instagrams". The most critical acquisition made during those times is when Google bought DoubleClick. This forever cemented them as the money making behemoth they are today. This cornered a huge portion of online advertising here. Facebook made themselves a walled garden so they did pretty well. Netflix, Apple, Amazon all found their corners of the Internet and killed off or bought any competition.

Then they continued to consolidate. At this point the startup community is pretty much dead. That also means that innovation has also come to a virtual (virtual LOL) halt. We're not making new things anymore. Innovation used to come from hungry young entrepreneurs, now it comes from lab rats at these FAANG companies. What's their motivation? Nothing really. They aren't fighting for their lives. They're sitting in a box and get paid whether they make something or not.

What's happened over the past few years is NOT inconsequential. There's been very little innovation. The Internet platform that was meant to bring the world together has divided it. This wonderful platform is being used as a tool to silence any dissent. That's not what it was meant for. That's not what is was meant to be. That's not responsible use of power. This is exactly the opposite of what our vision was. Vulture Capitalism has come to the tech industry, and it's being run by the very same people that hated Wall Street in the very recent past. They didn't win Occupy Wall St, they made their own street and joined them.

Well there's good news out there. We will rise from this. The tech industry had very good times, and those good times made weak men. Weak in virtue, they've lost their morals. They are now the largest companies in the world. What they've done to a large part of the community, that's us, is to create hard times.

You need to understand what these behemoths just did to themselves. They've created a market. There's now room for innovation again. There's a base out there without service, there's a hole that needs to be filled, there's a need that is just begging to be met.

"Necessity is the mother of invention"

Hold the line, my fellow Americans. While it seems like things aren't going well I can assure you that this too shall pass. We will rise from the ashes free from our virtual chains. This site is a testament, and the mods should be applauded for leading the way.

Donate where you can to new innovation, participate if you can. If you don't have the money or skills, be supportive. It's going to be a bumpy ride but when it's over we will emerge victorious.

HOLD THE LINE!!!
