If one of the (already vilified) conservative billionaires out there has any stomach for saving their country from the mob, they should buy and flip a major media platform, or fund a new one, and make it an unsinkable aircraft carrier of true free speech

We are completely outgunned in the platform wars, and it’s only getting worse. All the major social media and streaming content companies are part of the lib Death Star. Stop sending checks to think tanks that overpay 2nd tier scholars to churn out policy papers 5 people read

It doesn’t even have to be “conservative” in mission, it would soon become dominated by conservatives though if it adamantly refused to censor speech for the woke mob The Left can no longer debate like sane people- but they don’t have to They just point, scream, and cancel

Meanwhile, I know ultra-wealthy conservatives who are terrified of anyone finding out what their politics are, because to be accepted among the elites, you have to at least allow those around you to believe you’re woke and lib This is a massive cultural failing of the Right

And where are the older leaders in conservative media building up the next generation? Folks on our side seem obsessed with their own brands, and protecting their turf, which is a small slice of the media landscape We need more voices, with serious platforms we control

first got into media, thought our side would be like pro sports, generally the veterans would want to bring up the rookies as part of the natural order, to help their team win Conservative media is more like warring cartels. Many of big names just want to stamp out upstarts

I know you could say “That’s just business,” but this is supposed to be about more than that too. And in fact some big names out there pretend the fame, money don’t matter at all. It’s just “the cause,” they build brands on that promise to their audience They’re full of it.

Our side is LOSING right now. We have the Left going on a mad cancel spree, nobody is safe from it, the Supreme Court is a lib super legislature, corporate America is in the radical Left’s pocket… and we are hoping Trump pulls off a miracle this fall What if he fails?

Whoever wins this fall, we will still be living in a country where you will be tweeting, facebooking, Amazon priming, YouTubing, Instagram posting, Netflix watching, and Hulu streaming based on the curated tastes and activism of the LEFT We lose if this continues. Full stop.

An honestly, if we don’t do something about this, we deserve to lose. Who thought it was a sustainable plan to just cede 90% of media, all of Hollywood, academia, and now corporate America to the woke mob? We need to build conservative media motherships, RIGHT NOW
