Trump supporters evidently share an impulse with progressives: Must suppress dissent.

"No, it's more of a desire to squelch clumsy Establishment/GOPe propaganda.

"Dissent? Hardly. More like incessant hand-wringing that serves no constructive purpose..."

Wow, does that qualify as an incoherent response!

First, how can you possibly perceive nathanbedford as a "GOPe propagandist"?

Second, how can you characterize his legitimate complaint as "hand-wringing"?

I am thus left with my original conclusion: Trump supporters wish to suppress dissent. <

While I am disappointed by this finding, I am not surprised. Like Trump himself, his supporters seem overly sensitive to criticism.

I don't recall including nathanbedford in my response to you in any way whatsoever. Thus, my comment regarding squelching GOPe propaganda was not directed at him, although his endless and enthisiastic derogation of Donald Trump certainly could qualify.

You seem to be confused about which phase this process has entered.

Ongoing efforts to undermine the presumptive GOP nominee aren't something that will help the party or the country.

You see, in the back of your mind (or in the forefront) you're likely still clinging to the absurd notion of a contested convention, with attendant GOPe shenanigans, with Ted Cruz magically receiving a nomination which he clearly doesn't merit and hasn't earned.

The fact that such an event would irreparably splinter the party, destroy voter enthusiasm, cause countless Trump voters to stay home, and guarantee a Hillary victory in November simply doesn't matter to you or Ted Cruz.

It is Cruz supporters who are showing a cult-like fanaticism; an absolute inability to accept the fact that their candidate has lost this GOP primary process.

Eventually, they'll have to face objective reality, but we're obviously not there yet with many of them.

Vote Trump
