Yes, 2008 was awful on Free Republic. I stopped donating at that time because it was so awful. I cut way back looking at the site for quite a while. But now I am back and a monthly donor again. I like Free Republic, but I also don’t like some of the nastiness.

In 08 we resorted to purging the Giuliani-bots. By 2016 we had many of the same philosophies espoused by the Trump-bots. I say that as a proud forever-Trumper. I recognize that he has character flaws but I don't worry about them. I know he loves his country and respects its Constitutiuon and laws.

Mainly I see Trump as a reprieve for conservative Christians who are this country's only hope. I don't think we have many options left. We, as a country, have fallen morally from 2008 to the present. Trump's MAGA is mainly economic and I think it will help. But we need to MAGA spiritually.
