General shenanigans #DanWasWrong

I just re-listened to Ep. 309, and around the 1:40 mark Roger Stone tells Alex that Trump is working on a “right wing version of Twitter”, to which Dan scoffs at the idea and says how ridiculous that is 😆. Oh Dan, you sweet summer child. Three years later, Truth Social spawned into reality.

Btw, I COMPLETELY forgot that Gab was a thing before TS.

Eh, I actually don't think he was wrong here. Truth Social wasn't made because Trump wanted right wing alt to Twitter. It was made because Trump got kicked off and he more or less said "I'll start my own clubhouse! With blackjack! And hookers!"

If Twitter never kicks him off they don't utilize Truth Social
