Quite true. FR has become much more of a battleground, rather than a refuge, as its grown over the years.

It is unbelievable that so many FReepers find ways to rationalize position that are so blatantly not conservative and which they would be (rightly) quick to condemn in a Democrat.

Such a large number of FReepers supporting a northeastern RINO is the stuff of parodies.

Worse, if his name was Donald Romney or Donald McCain they’d be all over his rhetoric, history and flip flops. But he’s New and Improved, so whatevah!

That's the truth. I can understand supporting Trump for various utilitarian reasons (although I don't agree with them), but people need to quit pretending he's a conservative. To see folks on here parroting the Kelo-style eminent domain scams as a "great deal for everyone" involved, or necessary for economic development, obviously don't know the issue and have never spent a second of their lives reading about it.

Eminent domain abuse is probably the worst example of big government-corporate cronyism crushing the little guy that has ever existed in this country, yet I'm seeing Freepers regurgitate Trump one liners like it's an argument. Just proof that no ideological side has immunity to cult of personality.
