It appears ANTI-TRUMP forces have overrun FREE REPUBLIC’S general thread.

Oh stars & stripes forever! That negativity is so sad to see! Thanks for bringing it to us, though.
I actually do believe that it isn't ALL just Anti-Trump folks there....What I see is more of those who are our beloved brother and sister Patriots suffering from the Lucy Yanking the Football syndrome. They are tired of trying. They are worn out. Understandable. It is easier to prepare to be on one's back again after a mighty kick. Or not to kick at all. They are being negative because they DO NOT WANT TO TRY TO KICK THE FOOTBALL ANYMORE! Furthermore, they KNOW it will be yanked away.
As one of our number, Oratam, has pointed out in post 2 of this thread, FReepers and U.S. Patriots have been under an intense campaign of demoralization.
It is easier to go negative so as to not get hopes up again - only to be dashed.
I think we should seek to foster within ourselves enough positivity and hope so as to lift our Fellow Freeps by simply understanding that somehow there really IS hope available. WE can be Charlie Brown, who despite everything DOES try again! We can be positive enough to hold the Vision. "Without Vision, the people perish." We don't have to even say anything directly to them. We just hold the Vision of the Victory which is being won. Thoughts and Vision matter.
We are the crazy people on this forum who actually KNOW that not only should we kick the ball again..... we CAN kick the ball, with every confidence that it will go sailing between those goal posts! We may not even actually BE the ones kicking the ball - but we can surely believe in our team which is.
