We are in a war of ideas in this nation right now.

FR is a battleground as well as a place for conservatives to “sharpen iron with iron” with each other.

I just noticed a pattern of incessant posting by NeverTrumpers. It betrays a motivation that I don’t understand.

If JimRob backed Jeb, for instance, I would in no wise be on this forum. Why waste my time?

Same applies to NeverTrumpers. Why are they posting nonstop?

I have an idea. If they’re truly posting nonstop - literally - why don’t you document this? A spreadsheet with user names, posting times, reply times, and topics would back up your assertions. Otherwise, and without tangible evidence - not simply your subjective impression - it doesn’t carry as much weight. Many posters have asked you for examples, and I haven’t seen anything. That might be a good start.

What are they posting about? International terrorism? Economic instability? Fish recipes?

Do you expect them to post only about Trump from here on in? I’m not sure, 200+ posts later, what it is you actually want to have happen.

If we are truly going to sharpen iron with iron, that implies conversational topics that you may not have thought of, or even agree with.

Why are they posting nonstop?

It's an advertising campaign, no different than providing a certain number of commercial based "hits" designed to get you to buy a certain soap. Only in this case it's designed to erode support for Trump.

I'm not saying it's effective, but it's the only tool they've got for use against overt opposition.
