Cancelling Parler isn't about Trump or the riots. Trump will be gone in a few days. These are rationalizations to ban non-leftist platforms.
The left is a totalitarian collectivist movement. In order to establish the dictatorship they desire, they must suppress opposition to achieve full control of society.
Hence, they will attempt to brand anything that rebukes the their fundamental principles as racist and backwards, and worthy of censorship.
Parler was founded by libertarian types who don't support Trump, or consider him anything more than the lesser evil, and who have nothing to do with racism. Yet, the left is branding them right-wing extremists, white nationalists, Trump supporters, "conspiracy theorists," etc.
Give me a break. The left are a bunch of fascist ass hats.
The fact that Trump will soon be out of office isn't relevant. There were calls for violence, assassinations and armed resistance on Parler where the intended action would occur on and after January 20. Moreover, nothing about Trump's behavior over the course of his adult life and, especially more recently, suggests that he would cease to further incite the rabble to additional acts of violence. He gets off on being the puppet master for his followers even as he disclaims reponsibility.
