Remember when JR banned all the Giuliani supporters at TOS because Giuliani was a liberal?
That's a rather ironic question given that a number of the FRefugees here were part of that gang that supported JR's purge of Giuliani supporters, just as with the Romney purge. That JR suddenly took to Trump pulled the rug out from under them and so many came here to preach about principles and values and condemn anyone who didn't fall in line with their candidate. Just as at FR, they depended on the Hitler and Mussolini analogies over and over again, calling supporters of Trump stupid and LIV, among the nicer names. They started this week ridiculing the convention saying they weren't interested, wouldn't watch it, wouldn't vote for the candidate and hoped the GOP was destroyed in the process. Yet here you are.
While posting thousands of comments condemning Trump, his family and his supporters, they had the balls to question why the Trump supporters weren't going after Hillary!
Time after time they've asked Trump supporters why they don't go over to FR where they would be welcome. This from a forum that welcomed them openly and without question. Yet the handful of times a Trump supporter questioned why someone was here, the whining began incessantly about these few members trying to take over the forum. This is how it was at TOS...pack-dog warfare on anyone who looked at a candidate not vetted by the far right. So what's left here?
A forum that if any alternate thought is reflected, it must be separated into zones for each idea. The anti-Trump crowd said they would do everything possible to defeat him in the general election, and some have said that they would rather have Hillary as president. And yet they call the Trump supporters delusional and stupid.
Nothing succeeds like success, and you have succeeded in transforming this forum into an anti-Republican, anti-Trump website. A few months ago, the smaller group here making up the forum talked about hoping that one day everyone could shake hands and get back to normal. I haven't heard those sentiments lately. And it's not the fault of the ownership or moderators here. They do the best they can, but what was once considered a personal insult and dealt with, was nothing compared with the outrageous group and personal insults now. It's now little different from the old "Biker Bar" and LF among other such food fight arenas.
I still hope I'm completely wrong because I continue to believe a viable GOP with all of its factions is the only hope for a conservative government. I hope that when the Hillary crowning convention begins next week, the bitterness and hostility that has crowded out any reasonable discussion of candidates this week will be turned on the Democrats in full force. So now, flame away.
