The news I read on FR gets more depressing with each login. Screen names I have known since my signup are gone.
People have been lamenting on several threads that there are no more Freeps, no more meetups, no more face-2-face activism like the old days. There are many reasons posited, but the simple fact is we’re dying out, and our ranks will not be replaced. I myself see it in the reenactor groups, whether AmRev, CW, or Scadian; the population of interested folk is ageing, and not slowly.
dp0622 is only partially right: We can help each other, and this is not just a political website; this is conservative social media, we predate Facebook/Twitter et al by years. I have met folks in real life that I would never have known, were it not for FR. There are social threads and channels on FR that have grown over the decades for exactly that reason.
I rarely talked with The RightGuy over the years, but I noted what others have said; he was a stalwart who left us too soon.
Until Valhalla, old FRiend.
Rest In Peace my FRiend. Jesus welcomes you with open arms.
