That is why I never participated in any social media except City-Data. I suggest all Conservatives ditch the rest of them, & cable TV and any newspaper subscriptions theymight have.
These media companies cannot survive with only 1/2 of Americans seeing their ads. Cut them off.
Half of America is not conservative.
1/3 of eligible Americans didn't vote, it seems fair to put them down as apathetic or apolitical since we can't know their views.
That leaves Republicans and Democrats at about 1/3 each.
Trump has proven that not all who vote R are conservative.
You and your conservative friends do not control 50% of the buying power. Maybe 25% on a good day and that's a generous assessment.
We all like to think we are more important than we really are.
A Radical is a man with both feet firmly planted--in the air. A Conservative is a man with two perfectly good legs who, however, has never learned to walk forward. A Reactionary is a somnambulist walking backwards. A Liberal is a man who uses his legs and his hands at the behest--at the command--of his head.
― Franklin D. Roosevelt
"Liberal" doesn't mean the same as it did decades ago. Now, "liberal" denotes statism, censorship of ideas, and obedience.

Plus extreme transfers of wealth and income in the name of climate change, reparations etc, Identity Politics, and Open Borders among other idiotic things
Well, over on twitter I told a young lefty that she had been scammed, because Covid 19 has a 99.7% survival rate if you get it and are < 70 years old.
Instead of disputing that fact or trying to learn something, I got blocked.
I rest my case.
So one "young lefty" blocked you, therefore all leftists don't like facts, numbers or free speech?
First off, I don't know what you categorize as a leftist; I tend to think of radicals when applying that term. I consider myself a liberal, not a leftist. And I love facts, numbers and free speech. I make my living analyzing facts and numbers, and I have often used facts and numbers on this forum to rebut "righties" like yourself.

You're confusing liberalism with leftism.
Liberals are ok. We disagree on methods, but share the same goals.
Leftists have entirely different goals.
It's leftists who have subverted the major institutions in our country and have pretty effectively taken over the Democrat party. The true liberals are on our side in this.

Great quote. We seem to have a lot of reactionaries on this board.
