I agree. If anything, freerepublic has lost it’s way.
sadly you are right...populism is not far from conservatism. Trump is a charismatic populist. They overlook his support for government healthcare, planned parenthood, affirmative action, unions, partial birth abortions, Hillary and Bill Clinton, Shumer, al sharpton and all the other left wing positions hes held recently.
these same people are not mad at trump for not doing his job in Colorado. They get mad at who trump wants them to get mad at.
