Unfortunately, many conservative posters have "voted" with their wallets in the hope that the infiltrators will get zotted.
It's an open forum. Don't let them win. Elon Musk isn't going to bail everyone out.

You have a point. A fundamental Free Republic rule is “NO personal attacks”. FR would do well to enforce that rule more strictly.
Needs more young posters, rather than 20-year pioneers bragging about how many zots they’ve triggered.
Compared to this website's heyday, I think the opposite is true: all of the Constitutional conservatives who nonetheless had dissenting opinions on whatever the current orthodoxy of the moment is (whether it be the Iraq War, Middle East affairs, Trump, or what have you) got purged long ago.
The Freepathons take longer to clear each and every quarter, and that trend has been exacerbating for well over a decade at this point.
That and the Q nonsense, and the fact that so many take the BS the Baitway Pundit publishes as gospel. Been here since '97 as a lurker, former fundraiser and one time candidate for New Mexico state office kindly supported by many FRiends. Things have changed over the decades, and mostly not for the better.
And do not dare oppose the persistent provocative postings by certain one true church advocates.
