. . . As was mentioned by Erick [Erickson], it was under the guise of an economic restructuring, and there may be some truth to that.RedState runs by views. The more views, the healthier the site.I wasn’t the best writer at the site. I’m under no illusion. I was, as I’ve pointed out, dedicated, and I jealously chased after trending stories or cultural interest pieces, in the attempt to draw eyes to the front page. Because of that, I was one of the top writers there, drawing a minimum of 800k, most every month. Quite often, I was the top writer each month.I’m saying none of this to toot my own horn, I promise.I’m saying this because I want there to be no misunderstanding – I wanted RedState to succeed . . . . . . So what do all the RedState exiles have in common?A noted disdain for this new culture of Trumpism being passed off as “conservatism.â€There are still a couple of non-Trumpians left at the site (all excellent writers, who deserve to be supported), but as Ben Howe so aptly pointed out, the consistency isn’t with who was left, but who was let go.I could feel a lot of ways about this, and believe me, I do . . . I feel my dedication to the site, my loyalty was betrayed, in service to the orange . . . Everybody has an opinion. I guess a lot of it depends on what you believe conservatism to be.With all that said, the purge of anti-Trump voices from RedState is a symptom of a problem. It is not, however, the last word . . .
Ahhh. Bless her little menstruating cycle as she hops on it and tries to ride over the big old meanies who did her wrong.
So now it’s orangestate.com
What, @240B bought the site?
@jmyrlefullerNow that...that...was a real laugh. I'm still laughing. Thank you for that.
Really, Wings?
Woot, my first avatar uptake. @240B @jmyrlefuller
Yep. Really!
Oh please girl. If we had been in HS together you would have put a used kotex in my locker.
Oh please, boy. Sanguine wouldn't reduce herself to those terms. And considering your beyond-vulgar remark about the author of the original article (it never cease to amaze in a stomach-turning way the manner in which some people around here play shoot-the-messenger rather than critique the message, some such manners the type that would be considered obscene in Sodom and Gomorrah themselves), you might consider being grateful that an animated iron skillet over your animated head is the worst you got.
