Actually, this could work out pretty well for conservatives, allowing us to leapfrog over all the the tech crap that has proven to be disadvantageous and only focus on the things that have proven to be beneficial.

The right balance of communication, sharing and privacy for example. Many types of social media have become detrimental and should not be duplicated. We are literally better off without them. That is not being a luddite - that is learning from experience.

Duplicate the best, and ignore all the rest is a winning strategy.
