I think he's saying that a lot (most) conservatives are Civic rather than Ethnic Nationalists.

Sadly the time to do this was when it was still up so people know about it. That sub had thousands of people subbed in mere days. Most of them won't find out about a .win version now.

The page has a series of troubling posts about racism and discrimination.

A post published Sunday reads in part: "White lives matter! ... We have been forced to sit in our classes and listen to some clowns ranting how terrible and racist are all whites."

A second post published Sunday alludes to Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech in which he spoke about being judged by the content of one's character and not the colour of one's skin.

The post suggests students are deemed racists simply by being white.

"Society is being dominated by victimhood and anti-white racism, we are slowly regressing back to the starting point where others are treated differently based on the [colour] of their skin" the post reads.

Newsmax was a bait & switch, kind of like Fox.

Hey he can't do that - that's cultural appropriation!

I had heard of this, but I was thinking in terms of if from say 2017 onwards Trump had cultivated a presence on Gab, so that when the purge inevitably occurred he wouldn't have to gather followers from scratch. It's very good that Gab have done something for him, though.

I recall reading on here that Kushner instructed him not to join either Gab or Parler after being banned from Twitter. What is Jared playing at? Trump ought to have joined a Twitter alternative and mirrored all his tweets there early in his presidency, moving over completely when they started flagging his tweets.

The counterculture flip was inevitable. Because you can't spout off politically correct talking points and still be edgy. It just doesn't work. It's the mainstream consensus so there's nothing revolutionary about it.

I suspect Trump was largely kept in the dark by those close to him. 'Mediocrity' and Rudy possibly being the primary culprits.
