The censorship of conservative voices on social media, headlined by the Twitter and Facebook ban of former President Donald Trump, is pushing Republicans further away from the sites.
In new Fabrizio, Lee & Associates polling provided to Secrets, just 14% of Republicans said they have a favorable view of Twitter and 22% said so of Facebook.
“GOP voters are sick and tired of the big social media companies,” said pollster Tony Fabrizio in his analysis.
But, he added, it’s not an anti-internet thing. There is, Fabrizo said, much more approval by Republicans of other Big Tech companies, such as Amazon, Google, and Apple.
The Republican disapproval of Facebook and Twitter, he added, open the door to new conservative-supportive social sites such as Parler and GETTR to surge.
GETTR founder Jason Miller, a former spokesman for Trump, said the site has grown faster than Twitter and Facebook and would really surge if Trump joins.
Just in case, he said, Trump’s former Twitter handle, @RealDonaldTrump, has been reserved for his former boss. “It’s in the safe,” Miller said.
