    The only way conservative media gets destroyed is THROUGH the free market of ideas. If people want it, they will make money and thrive. If people don't want it... well, you catch the drift.

    Unfortunately, there is also a free market of bad ideas. Conservatives seem to be winning that one at the moment.

    I don't see as many links to Beitbart and the American Thinker. Are they still around?

    He was one of the best we have had, with plenty of accomplishments under his belt as president. Compared to obama, the affirmative action president, Trump did excellently.

    Obama won the popular vote and the EC both times

    Trump is the affirmative action president as he only won via affirmative action for the smaller states, he lost the popular vote

    Nobody is censoring conservative media. Fox News is still the highest rated cable news network, Breitbart and AM Talk Radio are still going strong. That all media outlets won't report what you want them to report does not amount to destroying conservative media. It amounts to destroying disinformation. It's standing up for democracy. It's what patriots do.

    Obama won because of his skin color and the identity politics dems played. He is an affirmative action president that accomplished far less than Trump, and Trump had half the time haha.

    About 74,000,000 Americans voted for President Trump.

    At least 25% of Americans are deplorable. Another 35% are woke. The rest are independent.

    Of course Tyrants and Despots will do everything they can to censor Conservative Media like Newsmax. The more popular Newsmax gets the harder will it be to censor it.

    Every Totalitarian was concerned about the Free Market of ideas they considered bad.

    Fortunately, Newsmax is rising in popularity. Parler is growing by leaps and bounds.

    Thank you. I disagree with many Conservatives on following issues:
    1) I do not support guns -- they are used in 34,000 suicides and murders per year in USA alone
    2) I support Welfare State -- people who can not work have a right to life.
    3) I oppose White Nationalism -- I am Jewish.

    I disagree with many Democrats on the following issues:
    1) I oppose Identity Politics. Viewing all men as the oppressor class is wrong.
    2) I oppose Censorship. I believe in Free Market of Ideas. That includes ideas Totalitarians consider "bad".

    As long as they don't fall in line with the MSM narrative as soon as they get a big following.

    Definitely.

    One of important shifts which happened under President Trump's administration is increasing mistrust of Mainstream Media by Conservatives. Thus, a market for Alternative Media is growing. As there is more demand, censoring Alternative Media would become impossible.

    Very few people want to “ban” anything, some just support organizations enforcing their ToS and if conservative personalities cannot stay within the confines of the rules they can go to another site. Now if it was a federally or state institution then there should be no bias whatsoever.

    What we should be careful about however, is the tons of misinformation and outright lies that are gaining in popularity. Yes, it comes from both sides to an extent but only one side openly embraces conspiracy and take the words of known liars as absolute truth.
