One of the most distressing things I've learned on a conservative website like FR is that an awful lot of people seem to be either disingenuous about their motives or gullible as children when they post about prominent issues like this.

I give media nitwits like Sean Hannity a bit of a pass because they're generally dumber than rocks and they're paid to spew propaganda on the air. I expect people here to be smarter than that.

I agree with you, having learned the hard way.

I keep thinking about the song “Queen of the Silver Dollar.” FR has some of the same characters.

The Ukraine problem seems to have brought out a class of FReepers none of us have ever seen before. Posters who’ve never served, water carriers for the Joe Scarborough/ Mika Brezhinski media lites and the Obama / Biden / Nuland / Psaki US State Department acolytes. Posters going on and on about “nuclear” war in the best Liz Cheney / Mitt Romney traditions.

Most of them appear to me to be newly minted “conservatives” who’ve recently migrated here from Democrat Underground because they’ve “seen the light” on disastrous democrat economic and foreign policy issues as well as democrat support of satanic cultural issues.

I refer to them as Tik Tok republicans

‘Gullible’, indeed, but it’s also why I wear a backplate.

“I expect people here to be smarter than that.”

WHY?

There are stupid people everywhere. They are among us.
