“This is not the FR I have been reading for 20+ years.”
I was an early lurker, but have been on FreeRepublic for 20+ years. Some say there are propaganda bots & paid Russian trolls.
I cannot say.
I wouldn’t call you a ‘bot, rather just a lonely soul who craves attention.
“Some say there are propaganda bots & paid Russian trolls.”
I think that is pretty much a given, as they use the same talking points, the same terminology, and they are unswerving from their support of Russia. At least those on our side criticize Ukraine — and certainly the US — when it is warranted. They, however, NEVER criticize Russia. That is a tell right there.
Or simple diluted stubborn people that pick a side and refuse to admit they were wrong.
Look back at the reasons some chose Russia’s side…….those reasons have now faded as they were debunked or never happened.
Yet they stick to it.
