You are not demonizing anyone - but it is not true that no one is…
It is commonplace on FR for a well-intended discussion to quickly get hijacked by concern trolls..
I am a a huge Rand Paul fan - in fact he was my favorite in 2015 until Trump took the lead so dramatically. I also like DeSantis from what I’ve seen so far.
But there is clearly a strategy to try and pit our best people against each other - this is the enemy trying to divide us. They pretend to care about the MAGA movement - they pretend their criticism of Trump is constructive - it is not.
Again, I’m not talking about you - but it’s naive to think “nobody is demonizing anyone”
You can rest assured I have no agenda.
Rand has no chance of the nomination perhaps for another 8 years.
I know this.
And Trump was a fine president considering his predecessors and probably the best in my short life.
I am rooting for him.
That said his endorsements can suck and and an area where he can improve.
Call it friendly criticism !
I cannot speak for others.
You might be right in your suspicions but we all know this is a moderated forum and those with an agenda or working for the other side will get found out and zotted
