Is this FReerepublic or FRittter?
This is what free republic used to look like. Infamous post 47 by Buckhead.
Read the comments. FR used to be so fun, so full of high fives, so full of hope. There’s not a troll or a debbie downer in the comment section. We are basically doing the same work on these Q threads, but instead of hope and kudos, we have folks who get banned for nothing. We have mods that pull threads saying it’s “Q crap”. We have trolls who infest not just these threads, but the main forum sowing nothing but despair. Our enemies want us to feel helpless, and boy FR is letting them get their message out.

What is behind the push to deceive the public (including FReepers) into falsely believing, "It's no use...it's never going to get any better!" or, "Even if President Trump exposes the crimes of the swamp, nothing will happen...."?
"Yuri Bezmenov, Soviet defector and KGB operative described the purpose of demoralization: "A person who was demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell nothing to him. Even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents, with pictures; even if I take him by force to the Soviet Union and show him [a] concentration camp, he will refuse to believe it, until he [receives] a kick in his fat-bottom.
When a military boot crashes his balls then he will understand. But not before that. That's the [tragedy] of the situation of demoralization." ~ Oratam
Without the constant doses of DOOM! NOTHING IS HAPPENING!, I do believe FReepers would have organized against the fake Covid-19 lockdown and other unacceptable infringements on our rights. But so MANY on FR are dedicated to spreading defeatism. *smh*
The Deep State MSM is pushing fatalism so hard because it wants the public to become demoralized and paralyzed.
I believe I participated in that thread. Because I remember that Boom! blue dress moment when it was clear it couldn’t have been typed in the 70s.
Have to take into account that 1) we were all trodden under the heel of the imposter regime for eight long years. It took the fight out of many of us. It’s not easy to get that back and 2) we’re still important enough to send the shills after us.
geeze Louise...233 individuals posted to that thread. I only checked the 1st 10 (in posting order).
8 are no longer on FR for whatever reason. And I know of a bunch of others on that thread that are no longer on FR.
maybe something to what you are saying...
We have trolls who infest not just these threads, but the main forum sowing nothing but despair.

Infiltration, not invasion.
Remember, even back in the 90’s there were distractors.
Check to see what they posted back then, and you may find they have been sleeping, but called to action by the DS to disrupt, and cause havoc.
Agreed. FR in the beginning was a place of hope for conservatives. Especially conservatives of a libertarian leaning.
Way back in the beginning when FR was delving into the Clinton crimes we had no internet in rural areas. I had a co-worker who printed of the best of FR each evening and dropped them on my desk at work. I enjoyed those daily until we finally got internet in the boonies. Within a few days of internet at home I signed up on FR.
The Q threads are the closest to the beginning in nature, except all the "non-allowed topics" and suspensions. I am certainly open to trying other platforms tho we have a house rule to not participate in social media. Since we also don't use TV for news we seek online news sources. My #1 online news source is this Q thread.
