This is what polarizing actions do, they force people to choose sides. And as the American right coalesces into two camps, pro-Trump and everyone else, the left is forced to harden around it's majority mindset. And that mindset includes, platforms and megaphones aren't free. The people that built Silicon Valley are liberals, and until called on to protect those liberal values, they'll allow (and make money from) everybody else.
If the finger-quote conservatives want their own platform with which they can plot the downfall of American democracy unrestricted, they're going to need their own infrastructure and their own apps and, it's starting to look like soon, their own banks and financial industries to handle their money.
You have ANY idea how hard it is to get a bank to overlook a pecuniary interest for a moral one? Apparently you have to erect a gallows on the Capitol lawn.
