I see some NeverTrump Freepers are back, posting articles almost like clockwork.
Is this some paid trolling going on? Is it some psych-op for the GOPe Uniparty?
Using FR as a place to foment conflict/hone the Establishment's arguments against Trump and real conservatives and/or Christians?
No one has the time to be posting as many articles in a day these people are posting without getting paid.
Sorry. I think it's an "op" against FR.
I am retired military, and on the Trump train.
the best thing to do is to ignore them like I do
I agree. But if your passion is NeverTrump, why would you waste time posting innocuous articles on FR?
Wouldn’t you go someplace where you could wax eloquent about your passion for Cruz or Mitt or whomever?

I see this isn’t your first FR rodeo if were here for the Clintons...
The primaries are over, for all intents. Trump is the candidate. Period. The NT deranged, if they continue their hysteria, will be no better than agents of the dhimmis and should be treated as an enemy provocateur.
I have to admit to being perplexed here. What are you suggesting? That FR can only be used by posters that are all-in Trump? You even admit they are not posting anything to do with anti-Trump.
While I am frustrated with the inane level of some of the stuff that gets posted here these days, and the attempt to one-up the humor, the variety of things being posted was a strength here at one time. As long as it was towards conservatism.
What you seem to be implying - banning anyone that ever said anything bad about Trump - would lead to this place being a circle-jerk echo chamber. Sometimes it already feels that way.
You’d be right. Pretty sure I was lurking during BushGore, posting by 2002? In trouble for freaking out over Bush’s Open Border policies during wartime.
Maybe they are simply going back to doing what they used to do before the Trump/Cruz war started. Did that ever occur to you?
I don't know who specifically you are complaining about, but I suspect 2ndDivisionVet is one of them, and he's been posting here long before anyone here heard of Mr. Cruz. Many of his "innocuous" posts are actually quite interesting and welcomed by many other FReepers, myself included. If you don't like them, then don't click on them. If they really bother you, you are welcome take it up with the moderators, but I predict your complaints will fall on deaf ears.
FR is not a "one subject" forum. Deal with it.
My complaint is not with FR.
My query is why are these avowed NeverTrump people posting articles that don’t have anything to do with their heart’s passion, their big CruzGOPe love?
Why waste their time here when they can be agitating directly for Cruz or Mitt or whomever on other websites?
If they really are such big Cruz or GOPe lovers, their time would be so much better spent on websites where they could be honest about their passion.
That’s my question and you did not address it.
When you consider that the entire GOPe bunch, and most (if not all) of the other Republican candidates prefer that TRUMP LOSE (as Trump is the only real threat to their nice gravy train)...and then you consider all of the money they have available to pay people to keep attacking Trump - then it starts making sense as to why they are posting here, and no doubt on other conservative site.

I think there are three different answers to your question.
Some are legitimately disappointed with the apparent result and are trying to move on anyway, some of those are posters of very long standing, and should not leave FR or quit posting. This too shall pass, after all. No reason to give up a forum that has offered a lot for many years. So they have changed the subject and continue to post. Good on them for handling it right, and I think that is the majority. We all agree on most things, and that is of great value on many levels.
Some are still seething and just putting out a little misdirection. The invitation to opus out only got a couple of half hearted responses that weren’t even acted on they were so sad. But the seething Cruzlims are hunkered down, waiting for some opportunity shot down the road that they think will be worth the zot or other fallout. I’m sniping back and forth with one on another thread right now. It provides some mild amusement, like plinking rats. There are a few of those.
There are some as others have pointed out who are establishing their FR credentials, before resuming their gaslighting. They tend towards blanket support of neocon idiocies and premises, and may be on a brief hiatus while they figure out what to do. Their command and control has taken a shot right in the middle of the forehead, but that doesn’t keep a good troll down for long.
As a side note, I’m proud of my friend ETL. He is proving his sincerity by not doing any of that. He is probably off oiling a rusty Arisaka and bent blade with coconut oil while he guards his lonely atoll from an amphibious landing of Lavrenti Beria clones funded by Trump. Check in sometime, ETL. The Directorate is worried about you, in our little yellow house in Leningrad.

Grow a pair.
It did seem somewhat organized this morning, trolls against Trump. Just sniping on threads and posting old articles that have already been hashed out.

Not a guy.
“Grow a pair.”
Always helps. I never knew FR to be a ‘safe place’ from microaggressions.
Saw lots of it late last night, too.
