Actually, it'd be the best thing to happen to us.
What would you do instead of Freeping?
You might be motivated to go down to the cafe or salon and speak up more -- talk to others in your community about the news.
You most certainly would be heard by people you know, who may not be of like mind, who may not hear anything but the TV news and don't understand conservatism.
Sometimes I think Freerepublic is encouraged by the leftists cabal as a kind of flypaper for conservative activism.
We vent, cause no harm or change, feel better, calm down...and the Dems continue to roll.
