Ahhh, what a year – as long as it’s in the rearview mirror. But, we must thank you, readers, for making 2020 an extremely successful one for RedState, where we’ve set site traffic records each and every month.

This year we’ve also unfortunately seen unprecedented levels of censorship from Big Tech, who censored the Hunter Biden story long enough to allow Joe Biden to purportedly win the presidency. One way to help us fight back against this censorship is to become a VIP member; VIP memberships make us less vulnerable to Facebook, Twitter, and Google throttling and censorship. If you’re not currently a VIP member, please join today! (If you use code “JENNIFER” you’ll get a sweet discount.)

So, without further ado, here are our most-viewed stories of the year. We wouldn’t say these are the “top” stories of the year in terms of importance, but simply the ones people were most interested in reading. You’ll sense a few themes: Coronavirus, hypocrisy, corruption, and Black Lives Matter.
