Trump is still the hands on favorite to be the nominee of one of the two major parties. Truth Social is not facing any of the issues that Gab was facing as far as being deplatformed.

Conservatives love the free market until it’s not working for them. If the situation had been reversed, they would be the first ones screaming how regulation prevents innovation.

Trump is listed as one of the 400 richest people in the US, he really can’t get his message out there? I live in the South, I assure you that if he did some advertising and started heavily promoting Truth Social it would be successful.




So you think if he advertised it better, more people would download Truth Social from the Play Store?


They can always go to web. Android browsers supports push notifications what’s magical about an app?

Trump supporters: we are being treated unfairly and we can’t get our message out because of Twitter and Facebook, how will we ever Make America Great Again? Life is so unfair.

The civil rights movement: we are being beaten, we are being lynched, attacked by police, jailed, spit on just for trying to send our children to school, etc. Let’s start a grass roots organization.

There are definitely more MAGAs in proportion to the population and they are better funded than there were people working toward civil rights during the 60s. Maybe it’s not a matter of being persecuted it’s just incompetence when it comes to leadership?

Trump supporters overwhelmingly consider themselves Christians. If they really want to organize, they can do the same thing MLK did - go into the churches.

Not to mention he has a ton of media, sycophants and critics immediately amplifying every little toot he makes.
