Thats because quite a few people here aren’t remotely conservative in their views, values or statements. When presented with a conservative or something else to vote for, they pick something else every time and actively work to tank that conservative with liberal talking points and hit pieces. Often, flat out bullshit.
Logic 101. If people wanted conservative governance, they’d vote for conservatives to govern. That they expend so much creative writing in ‘rationalizing’ why we should not elect actual conservatives shows they are at best, moderates. And often something far less principled than that.
You are correct about many of the posters on FR not being Conservative. I believe that would also apply to a big proportion of the most strident Trump supporters posting. I’ve had several admit in the back and forth of posts that they were moderates supporting a moderate in Trump. They appear to like him mainly for two things: immigration and his blunt manner. About a dozen Trump posters seem to trade off being online to spread the cults propaganda. It could be an organized effort.
