“Hand wringers” I see that in a lot of your posts.

Why do you have such a problem with people being concerned about the actions of their government?

Bad things happen to people who don’t question their leaders...

Bad things can also happen to good leaders when malcontent agitators run around gratuitously undermining morale in the cause.

The American Revolution itself hung by a thread at several junctures due to such disloyal behavior.

Donald Trump is America's George Washington of the 21st century. Or at least he has that potential—as long as his supporters don't tear each other—and thereby the Movement—apart.

Endless second-guessing was something Washington had to contend with as well, and it almost destroyed the Revolution.

The perceptive Patriots of that era realized his greatness, and gave him their loyalty and trust. The same applies in the present day.

I have NO problem with people being concerned. But when that becomes false, unfounded accusations, and undermines morale, it starts to serve as de facto Enemy propaganda—whether intentional or not—and sometimes it is clearly intentional.

If the believers need to do a better job being skeptical, then the doubters need to do a better job seeing the big picture, instead of getting bogged down in hyper-critical nitpicking.
