I’m starting to think that the right wing is purposely purging their platforms of dissenting voices which will create an alternative reality for their more sheep-like followers….just in time for the election season.

Decent theory. It would mean that the republicans aren’t dumb and greedy. Just greedy. I was fond of the dumb part.

Correction: The 0.1% of Republicans with power aren't dumb. They rely on all the others being dumb.

Implying that the Right isn't incompetent is a bridge too far for me though.

Elon probably legitimately thought everyone agreed with him and would fall in line and lick nuts.

Whether they’re smart or not, it won’t play out like you and I want it to. They’ll be able to lie to their cult and no one will be there to question it.

The "right wing" isn't really an ideology. It's just a bunch of miserable assholes that get off on making things shit for everyone else.

If everyone who isn't a miserable asshole leaves to go to another site where it's all rainbows and happy thoughts, what are the miserable assholes going to do? Stay on their miserable sites being miserable to one another?

Nope. They will go find the rainbows just so they can shit all over them.

Right-clicked on the link, copied link, went to archive.org, pasted link into wayback machine, selected most recent (in this case only) snapshot.

As you can imagine, it doesn't work if archive.org hasn't archived the link yet.
