This is where confusion lies. Parler was founded as a free-speech platform - not a political one. It became attractive to conservatives due to biased censorship on Facebook and Twitter. Every social media platform has "morally repugnant" users. Most of the thrid-party articles you read about Parler are not based on any in-depth experience. I dove in during the summer to test all the waters. I wound up keeping my account, for the reasons I detailed here: https://medium.com/digital-diplomacy/why-i-stayed-on-parler-ccf7ca34381d

Let's not forget that real-live violent events were planned using both of the biggest platforms.

Full disclosure: I don't do politics online.
