Not having a Jesse Jackson brow beating them helps.
Oh we have browbeaters on the GOP side. Every election there are those threatening and cajoling conservatives to vote for candidates that are unacceptable to conservatives.
I have been reading Freerepublic for years and have seen it.
I have only been commenting for a couple of weeks and have already been attacked numerous times for saying that I will not vote for another cheap labor importer. Been accused of supporting Hillary several times.
