That assumes people use Twitter solely for politics. It's a social media app, people are on there to look at animal videos, celebrity gossip, answer dumb polls etc.

Parler's growth is happening directly due to the impact of the election, and Twitter adding disclaimers to claims of ballot interference. It won't continue at this rate, because besides political kinship, there is nothing there for users to do. Nobody enjoys the political zones of Twitter, unless they're 'dunking' on the opposition. On Parler, there is no opposition.
