No. He will continue to be an actor on the streets and direct his trumpian army and MAGA cohorts in many states around the US and possibly beyond. No longer bound by the limits of office he can go all out and on the rampage.

It will be harder without Twitter, Facebook et al. It will depend on the ability of the likes of Parler and Gab to survive with hosts under increasing pressure to deny service to the extreme right, something that is very controversial due to lack of agreement on how to tackle it without causing collateral damage to legitimate uses of free speech.

For the record Parler is now being hosted by Russian friends of Hamas.

You can be cheer all you want that Jack Dorsey has freed you from the compulsive obsessive urge to check out his Twitter feed and be outraged over his blatant nonsense and bullshit and that hes out of sight for the time being.
Its a folly. He's not cause but symptom of bigger problems and crisis. As long as those causes are not addressed and keep being ignored the symptoms will persist. Trump was good in casting a spotlight upon all those things. Things a lot of people prefer to not look at, things you'd pretend that dont exist. Trump brought them to the light. And thats what you hated him for.
But he was, in a way, (initially at least) necessary to reveal all those things and expose the true state of things and rub it into your face.

Of course it's not time. It's never time, not on its own. You make it time. If you're under fire in the no-man's land of WW1, you start digging a foxhole even if the ideal time would be when you *aren't* being bombarded, because once you wait for it to be 'time', other situations will need your attention, assuming you survive that long. If the fields aren't furrowed, plow them. If the iron is not hot, make it so. If society is not ready, change it.
