Well let's just cut to the chase, if the Trump-hate is 'overwhelming' on this board, why do the Trump Faithful and Apologists continue to post here?
Do they think they can 'save us' from the error of our opinion?
Do they think they can drive us from this board they way they have just about every other single formerly Conservative forum out there?
Do they think they do the object of their affections any service by poking and instigating each and every opportunity to declare us part of the enemy?
It's not like those of us who are not marching in lock-step to cheerlead everything Trump does and says are going to change our minds simply because we are 'embarrassed' that a majority here are not Trump fanatics. As with every other political issue that exists, to disagree is to 'hate', to refuse to support and join the cause, is to 'hate'. It's just the new PC way to silence dissent and debate.
What has been illustrative in terms of real-hate, is not the ambivalence and indifference the majority has for Trump, (they will applaud when he serves rightly and excoriate him for when he does disservice) but in what other members here have for those who have refused to 'get on the train':

I embrace the hatred I have for the likes of you and your ilk here on the forum.
I don't deny it.
You, OTOH, get your panties all twisted, because your "hatred" of Pres. Trump...AND his supporters...has been on full display here for all to see.
To disagree is to 'hate'. This is what now exists in terms of the internecine warfare that now engulfs what remains of Conservatism. And it is not going away.
Because the country is now polarized into camp thinking. Either you are in lock-step with us, or you are to be counted as the enemy and dealt with as one. No one has the luxury of their principles or the liberty to choose differently, because - the country is at stake.
So it is said.
This is one of the last refuges online for Conservatives to gather and discuss our principles in light of events without having to be wearing MAGA headgear and t-shirts while waving his flag. Most of us newer members have come here from somewhere else that we were no longer welcome at because we dared to question or refuse support of Trump, and it appears to us that the idea of a 'Conservative board' that does not support Trump must be discredited and it's members harassed and impugned.
Some of them engage in that stuff by badmouthing THIS board on the other boards and forums where they are ALL in lockstep with no dissent permitted or allowed.
If Trump *hate* is overwhelming here - and Trump *love* is the most important thing to discuss, why do they continue to hang here when they have plenty of other places to be among like minds?
