There are a lot more people on Parler already than there are fascists.

Consider what this looks - and feels - like from their perspective.

I’m actively watching people I grew up with who have never been involved in politics at all become increasingly aware of this push. Do you think they’re going to be open to liberalism when this is their first interaction with it as an ideology?

So they slept through four years of Trump and this outrage is the first step in their Great Awakening? I'll go out on a limb and suggest that they were never going to be "open to liberalism" in the first place.

Anyone using the place is a fascist by definition. If they haven't been involved in politics until now, their perspective doesn't deserve to be heard.

Your post inspired me to track down an old essay I saw on arguing by definition:
