Is it just me, or has there been a resurgence at FreeRepublic.

I have noticed that there seems to be more and more posters on FR that have accounts from the 1990's or early 2000's, that are posting a lot more frequently.

I can't be the only one that has noticed this.

Maybe it was Ted Cruz, I don't know, but I'd like to know that I'm not alone here.

I think there could be an increase in posting due to Ted Cruz and Tom Cotton!

I’ve noticed that. Both old, and new accounts.

Perhaps is the new posting method (FascistBook only) at Townhall that’s driving a lot of readers/posters back.

I was about to opus out and join a monastery until I read this recent thread. It changed my life.

I also think Scott Walker and Ted Cruz have something to do with it.

hopefully this crop of new leaders is awakening a lot of people who have become disengaged. It would be great to see.

There are a lot of people who only post during election season, primarily presidential election season. Most are legit and elections pique their interest, but a fair number of them are trolls who try to poison the well.

In a few words ... What are you talking about?

But, BTW, I agree with Ted Cruz theory for the increase in postings.

Speaking for myself, I dropped out after the last election. Didn’t even have the heart to follow the news, dreading what was coming.
I have been inspired again by Cruz and have volunteered for the first time ever.
I’m so glad to see Cotton as Senator. He and Ted give me hope.

This often happens as we approach a presidential election.

Same here! Spooky, isn't it? I got so far as to shave my head . . . and THAT thread pulled me back.

Usually a big surge in new signups during big events... the 2000 recount, 9-11...

I particularly enjoyed the video clip from last year's annual gathering of FReepers

That's me trying to drag the cooler away.

This is one of the most important elections in most of our lifetimes.
