I don't think Trump has completely thought this through. Twitter is how he communicates with his base. What would he use instead?
- Simulacra 6y agoHe would spin up a White House version. In fact, I'm extremely surprised the White House, or conservatives in general, haven't spun up something like that. Don't even mention GAB, that's a platform that's become worse than 4Chan.
- SrslyJosh 6y agoYou're assuming they are competent enough to build that. Another assumption: his followers will leave Twitter, where they can harass/abuse everyone else at will, for an echo chamber where they'd basically just be reading Trump's bullshit 24/7.
- Simulacra 6y agoOh gosh no, they wouldn't build it, Lockheed would. Like every other government administrative technology function. Trump Derangement Syndrome may be clouding your understanding of federal contracting and technology. Hopefully it will NOT be the same people who built Healthcare.gov Did you like that website?
- bediger4000 6y agoConservatives have spun up conservative equivalents of a lot of things. You can find a "Conservapedia", there's a Reddit analog in Voat, a Twitter alternative in Parler, a Facebook alternative in RightBook, for a while I had "Red63", a Trump-friendly Yelp thing on my phone.
