> From what I understand, Parler was bankrolled and designed to do exactly what it was ultimately shutdown for. That is, be a concentrated anger-machine-echo-chamber. I'm not angry at the public corporations that have dropped Parler. I'm angry at the people that created Parler in the first place.
Where did you get this understanding? Seriously. My understanding was that the founders were mostly anti-trump libertarians.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parler says "Founder(s): John Matze, Jr., Jared Thomson, Rebekah Mercer" and "conservative political commentator Dan Bongino has said he is an owner."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebekah_Mercer#Donald_Trump says she supports Trump. eg, "Mercer aimed her support at GOP candidate Donald Trump in June 2016 after Cruz lost the primary. Mercer directs the Mercer Family Foundation and served on the Executive Committee of the transition team of United States President-elect Donald Trump"
