Parler is banned, hate speech laws are on the up, ...
Your post alludes to another dimension that is castrating the ability of conservatives to "
survive" and deserves greater focus. The Democrats have been (and since "
winning" in 2020 will be re-invigorated in) using the "
power-of-the-sate" to suppress conservatives. A very early example occurred when the Obama/Biden administration used the IRS to suppress the ability of the "
Tea Party" to organize. Not quite the same as banning Parler, but the same intent. More to the point, the Obama/Biden administration used the government intelligence community to spy on the Trump campaign.
With Biden now President, it would seem to be a no-brainier, that the intelligence community will resume that type of activity. In fact, Biden's inauguration speech spoke of implementing a "
war" on domestic terrorism. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) recently issued an alert:
DHS Warns Of 'Heightened Threat Environment' From Domestic Terrorism. Troops still "
occupy" Washington DC weeks after the inauguration under the guise of "
protecting" Congress. The stage is being set for increased surveillance legislation and (suppression) activities to supposedly "
protect" democracy; but would be, in reality, aimed at suppressing conservatives.
Recent examples of the Democrats of the Democrats using political power to knee-cap conservatives include the very obvious Kangaroo Court style impeachments of Trump. With the new 2020 Congress, Democrats have been emboldened to call for the actual removal of Republican Congress people.
Democratic lawmakers call for removal of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene over incendiary rhetoric. Multiple Democratic senators call for Cruz and Hawley to resign. Additionally, consider my often repeated allusion to Orwell's "1984" and McCarthyism, where the Democrats alluded to "
enemies lists" and "
re-education camps". Conservative will soon be
"enemies-of-the-state".
The Biden administration is still "
young" so it may be a while before some of this stuff materializes. The seeds are highly visible. The Republicans, may not simply be "
finished" because of their own disorganization and lack of messaging, but may be "
finished" due to the Democrats using the "
power-of-the-state" to drive conservatives underground.
