Funny how all roads seem to lead back to the Mercer's.
If you recall, they funded Trump, Breitbart news , Cambridge Analytica and Jared Kushner's targeting online AD campaign in 2016.
It seems, they just get busier and more extreme- they fund Parler, had the CEO fired because he wanted to reign in the crazy.

John Matze, the chief executive of the embattled social media platform Parler, said on Wednesday that he was fired last week.
Mr. Matze, 27, who co-founded the site in 2018, said in an interview that he was not given an explanation for the decision. He said he believed he was fired because of a difference in opinion with the prominent Republican political donor Rebekah Mercer, who supports Parler financially.
Ms. Mercer, he said, did not seem to want to impose any restrictions on what users could say on Parler, which has billed itself as a “free speech” social network. While that open philosophy made the site popular with conservatives, it also led to trouble.
Last month, Parler was removed from Apple’s and Google’s app stores and booted from Amazon’s web-hosting platform for not being strict enough in policing and removing posts that tried to incite violence or crime.
“I’ve always been about free speech and everyone being welcome. I’ve never been about conservative political activism,” Mr. Matze said. But he said he had told Ms. Mercer that Parler needed to consider restricting domestic terrorists, white supremacists and members of QAnon, the baseless pro-Trump conspiracy theory, from posting on the platform.
“I got dead silence as a response, and I took that dead silence as disagreement,” he said.

They also seem to behind funding for the likes of Josh Hawley, Milo Yiannopolous, and claim Centre Firearms which they own has the largest private cash of machine guns in the United States.
