I don’t read r/conservative much but what I’ve seen is they keep banning actual conservatives because they correctly call out what Trump is doing on things where it’s not about left and right but right and wrong.

Some people are saying that it could be coincidental. OP asks why would the two accounts who post so regularly just happen to both stop at the same time on that day.

    Reminds me of an old soviet joke:

    Q: Now that Stalin has died, what happened to his cult of personality?
    A: The personality has died, that is true, but the cult lives on.

      While that may be true there is a near universal fact I have observed with cults. When the original leader dies they bleed manpower well that or they fracture like a khaganate, though that can be stopped with sufficiently competent successors, I greatly doubt anyone can hold this particular mess together.

        I think Trump’s main leverage was the Epstein files and the people that thought they would be “exposed” for associating with him. Trump learned from Roy Cohn (there’s someone to read up on… the guy was an absolute POS) to lean into people that were a bit dirty and use their shame (something Trump has almost none of) to control them. Couch Fucker Vance has squat and if Trump croaks or falls totally apart, the House and Senate are going to eat him alive once he assumes the Presidency…
