When I joined Gab back in 2019 it still had a liberal-conservative vibe. I remember Torba even made a post saying that Tulsi and Yang were "good Democrats" (which he later deleted). And there was always a contingency of Jewish-obsessed conspiracy theorists on the website, but they were much more disenfranchised as Torba fought for the mainstream. Well at some point I guess Torba decided he couldn't win with the mainstream, so he went into full Theological Autism mode and started being like CHRISTIANITY CHRISTIANITY CHRISTIANITY. And this was maybe... a good move for his business? I'm not sure, but it seems he was able to rally a base into financially supporting him. I was kind of surprised when he then started making generalizations about "The Jews" candidly in his posts, because that's something he never would have done before. But now as a Christian Website he had religious reasons to rally the Jew haters on his platform. Ultimately I think the man just has emotional problems and he has figured out how to make perpetual victimhood work for him, so he benefits from creating bad situations for himself and then suffering the consequences. It's a pattern with him. Crazy stuff.
