Well I was and am an avid supporter of Trump but didn’t feel I had to join some kind of cult to do so.
I innocently walked into a ‘q” thread once because I had some problems with some of their assumptions and statements but was roundly cast out as a “heretic” of whatever and then the Mods came along and basically said, “Don’t bother them.” Kinda stupid really, IMO.
Trump was not a cult—but for those of us who were very early to the Trump train, any questions about Cruz, or support of Trump we posted were met with varying amounts of ridicule and hostility. Many thought he was a Dem in sheep’s clothing, a pro-choicer, etc. And did some of us get sensitive? Sure. Even after JR came out supporting Trump, some Freepers had to be banned because they just could not stop themselves from attacking Trump and supporters... Frankly, one of the ways I was sure I had picked the best candidate was the fact that the media (including Fox) were not supporting him...
Seems to me that now the media and some in govt have made Q out to be public enemy #1. Historically for me, the most reliable position is the one not being supported by the media...
So it is interesting that so many here are on the side of Washington DC and media in ridiculing/attacking Q.
