I keep saying this to people who keep accusing me of being against Trump (i.e., a NeverTrumper, the standard accusations of FReepers who insist that these forums should only have articles that support Trump), when I post unflattering articles ...

1. I voted for Trump over Hillary, but supported Ted Cruz in the primaries

2. I post articles like these to elicit COMMENTS and REFUTATIONS if such are forthcoming. That I do not post my own comments should not be taken as an endorsement of the article’s content.

3. Before accusing me of always posting articles that are unflattering of Trump, READ MY OTHER POSTS that DO support him.

The problem with many FReepers is they jump into conclusions without seeing the whole picture.

Just read one poster in this thread who actually heaped expletives on me prompting me to have to inform the moderator about violations of FR civility rules.

Focus on the article’s content please.

Now you are reading into the argument something I did not broach or even imply. It was merely to see if you believed the garbage in the article.

You are the one who is jumping to a conclusion, that being my motivation. It had nothing to do with whether you supported President Trump. It was solely my mining to determine if you believed the nonsense this guy was stating in his article. These pseudo intellectuals that bring forth propaganda like this to the people are quite devious in their methods. Was making sure you were not fooled by these machinations he put forth.

But you are the one who brings out the skepticism when you constantly post articles whose purpose is to undermine the truth to push a fictitious narrative, and then say nothing. That silence coupled with repeatedly posting dubious articles has apparently caused many others to engage you to examine your motivation as well. If that bothers you, then quell the questions by letting people know what you think of what you post. A mind faced with speculation can bring forth dangerous & incorrect conclusions. Neither of us want that. 8>)
