So his big reddit group is down, his facebook, twitter, campaign store are also down. He tried Parler and thats now down with Apple threatening to remobe it from the app store within 24 hours.

I was going to say his fans could create their own platform but watching and listening to them, I think most cant even tie their own shoelaces

Only if one of the big companies will host it, really.
 
The thing I read about Parler is that to be verified you have to provide a driving license number or a social sevurity number. That is absolutely crazy but wonderful for authorities when they threaten violence and commit crimes

Night of the long snides as Twitter, Discord, and other platforms ban Trump and Trump supporters with links to Q.

Hard to argue with their reasoning at the bottom tbh

his determination is based on a number of factors, including:

  • President Trump’s statement that he will not be attending the Inauguration is being received by a number of his supporters as further confirmation that the election was not legitimate and is seen as him disavowing his previous claim made via two Tweets (1, 2) by his Deputy Chief of Staff, Dan Scavino, that there would be an “orderly transition” on January 20th.
  • The second Tweet may also serve as encouragement to those potentially considering violent acts that the Inauguration would be a “safe” target, as he will not be attending.
  • The use of the words “American Patriots” to describe some of his supporters is also being interpreted as support for those committing violent acts at the US Capitol.
  • The mention of his supporters having a “GIANT VOICE long into the future” and that “They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!!” is being interpreted as further indication that President Trump does not plan to facilitate an “orderly transition” and instead that he plans to continue to support, empower, and shield those who believe he won the election.
  • Plans for future armed protests have already begun proliferating on and off-Twitter, including a proposed secondary attack on the US Capitol and state capitol buildings on January 17, 2021.
As such, our determination is that the two Tweets above are likely to inspire others to replicate the violent acts that took place on January 6, 2021, and that there are multiple indicators that they are being received and understood as encouragement to do so.

Disagree with this.

Whilst I agree there was a certain amount of dry wood lying around I believe that Trump was uniquely skilled at being able to build upon it and light it with a blend of racism and populism and then fan it with his media savvy and rhetoric.

Swap Trump out for any of the other 2016 GOP candidates and I don’t think we are in this same position, not only their personalities would have likely kept them far more within “norms” but I don’t think they would have inspired the same cult like devotion - the number of people who would storm the barricades for Ted Cruz doesn’t seem large.

As @Prevenger17 says above I see Tucker Carlson as the most likely person to be able to inherit that following.

That's sort of what I mean. The country was already angry, it was already racist, it already feared the boogeyman. Trump managed to bring those prejudices into the mainstream and become accpetable, but he didn't create them.
