All actual conservatives, or all present-day Republicans? If we're talking about the latter, we disagree over whether it's a bad thing.
I don't necessarily have a problem with the existence of sites like Parler that cater to extremists (I'm using 'extremists' in a historical context here, rather than by present-day unpopularity).
What I think is harmful is the 'hey man, it's all cool!' environment, in which a ten year old can start out at PewDiePie and wind up two years later as some Qanon nut with cranial tongs and a poster of Dylan Roof in his locker.
So let a thousand Parlers bloom, as far as I'm concerned, but give mainstream sites strong enough moderation to allow rational, humane people a place to discuss issues.
