I don't think time is on their side, here. The more ballots that are counted and the more evident Biden's victory becomes, the more reticent any court will be to try and flip some sort of weird recount/selective ballot throw out to try and kludge together a Trump victory out of like five different states.
Trump might have some stooges he was able to install on the Supreme court, but the rest of them... yes, even the GOP ones... would likely not care enough to weigh in on his nonsense.

GOOD! Plant a few federal agents in there, gather up all the intel on the ones actually planning shit (which they've done on these apps before) and arrest them before they actually carry it out. Parler will end up going the way Gab did and they'll all end up right back on Twitter and Facebook crying about how unfair it is they're not allowed to be racist, bigoted assholes in public without consequences.
It is honestly funny how Trumps cult is now seeing fox as "too left wing" for them. I mean how far to the right do you have to be to claim that Fox News / Sky News is "left wing media".
Basically everything that criticizes Trump is now "left wing media". Would not surprise me if Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson and etc leave Fox News and go to something like OANN. Could see the same for aussie Trump supporting pundits on Sky News AU like Rowan Dean and Alan Jones.
They said they'd do that before with... what were they called again? Voat and... there was another one or two? I can't even remember.
Same thing always happens, they go to some new site, stew in their juices for a while, and then it all just fragments because they aren't big enough to self-sustain and since the only thing attracting them to the site is being refugees from Reddit/Twitter et al, all they can do is slowly attrite. Same thing that happens with spin-offs of forums formed by expats most of the time. Also since it's just a circlejerk they quickly run out of steam because there's no-one to war with.
And right wing extremists are a fractious lot, they descend into petty infighting when left to their own devices for long enough.

They're calling George W. Bush a leftist lol.
Basically if you aren't willing to say "we love white supremacy" out loud you're a pinko commie to them.
They just spent the whole year whipping their base up to vote, 70 million turned out, but yeah sure they were sleeping lol.
I guess it's that pesky silent majority out there that definitely surely exists, but never seems to turn up to polls or elections.

Oh yeah Gab, that was another one. I remember the righty tighty fuckwits talking about how there was going to be beer and hookers over there lol. Then it just drifted off into the ether.
haha, yep, been seeing some of the more hardcore right wingers on my Facebook start advertising they're headed there too
They just used to put a veneer over it.
Look at John McCain being the figurehead for the Republican Party, trying to maintain the illusion, while his own crowd boos him for not getting on board with insane conspiracy theories:
Their base watches Fox News, Breitbart and worse day in day out. The Republican establishment was an ill-fitting mask over that, intended to convince you that they stood for anything else.
Watching a stream who was watching Fox and Ted Cruz. Basically the same bullshit of him saying you don't know what to believe, yet you are the one spreading the lies. Anyways he talked about 2000 Florida, which we all know was waaaaay different.
Another reason to get rid of the Electoral College and oh goodness if the courts switch this is basically a possibility to sue your way in a few states to possible change elections. Since all this has happened I found another way the E.C. is incredibly flawed.
"Buh dah DEMS"
So all in all, this second semester we had:
- The NZ prime minister being re-elected, crushing the far right oposition,
- The Bolivians electing a Leftie president, totally repudiating the far right coup enablers.
- Chile voted for a new constitution, repudiating the pinochet one (by a massive margin),
- The US voting out the orange cancer.
All in all, not too bad for a redemption arc, eh?
Forgive my english, as i'm not a native speaker
I mean you're describing all of American history up to, including, and since the Civil War right there.

I remember one ages ago where they did the same thing but with the old circular design.
I had to Google Parler, let's see where it rank:
1-Facebook - 2.7 billion users
2-Youtube - 2 billion users
3-WhatsApp - 2 billion users
4-Facebook Messenger - 1.3 billion users
5-Weixin / WeChat - 1.2 Billion users
6-Instagram - 1.1 billion users
7-TikTok - 689 million users
8-QQ - 648 million users
9-Doutin - 600 million users
10-Sina Weibo - 523 million users
11-QZone - 517 million users
12-Snapchat - 433 million users
13-Reddit - 430 million users
14-Kuiaishou - 430 million users
15-Pinterest - 416 million users
16-Telegram - 400 million users
17-Twitter - 353 million users
18-Quora - 300 million users
Okay, I give up, the list I have goes up to 100 and I just scrolled down and I don't even see Parler listed on there.
I have secret footage showing the tactics they used to get themselves on the top spot.
This will be off the top spot in a day or two max.
The people who are going to leave Facebook and Google for Parler are the nutjobs who are so far gone, they don't matter. The people who are going to stay on Facebook are the boomers and grandparents who are easily manipulated by what is on their feed.
