I’ve been on FR for over a decade and I honestly don’t remember vicious personal attacks like I see coming from Trump supporters.
Ditto!
They’ve all adopted The Donald’s personality traits: (a) the truth is irrelevant and (b) when all else fails, resort to ad hominem attacks.
Pitchfork Pat Buchanan’s FReeper brigades were worse when he ran for President. Truly was a cult of personality that screamed heretic or worse at anyone who disagreed with Buchanan or was skeptical about his chances to become President.
I know, I thought I’d seen about everything in this election cycle. That is-on “Facebook”, a woman told Michael Reagan to “shut-up” on HIS FB page! This was one of the more hard-bitten Trump fans/supporters! Several other ones scolded him, saying that he needed to get aboard the Trump campaign, one got really snotty, when he said his Dad wouldn’t have gone along with Trump, or was not like him at all! Some called him names, it was ugly! Some of them aren’t bad at all, and say they would go for whoever wins the primary, it’s just the really snotty ones I can’t stand!
Well, it does get pretty nasty when intelligent design and evolution are discussed.
I’ve come to the conclusion that education and indoctrination are always linked to some degree. Students are getting more and more left-wing (mistaken) indoctrination with their education. So increasingly, our educated are leftists. Sad.
People who are educated and conservative are fighting a trend. One hope is that reality smacks the educated leftist in the face and he (she) becomes conservative.
What about the people who are uneducated and unindoctrinated? Who do they support? (Rhetorical question).
