I still have a little memory left and I’m only talking about Free Republic, a site which not only totally endorsed Romney for 2012 but did its usual stunt of demeaning and eventually kicking out people who didn’t go along. I was for Rick Perry and, whatever issues you think he had, he would have been a much better choice.
I don’t remember that FR totally endorsed Romney. In fact, I remember many who were very much against Romney.
I can post dozen of threads from 2012 to show you that you have partial incomplete memories. Dozens of us opposed Romney...and not only were we not kicked off but Jim Robinson himself was opposing Romney thru much of 2012. (Perhaps less so once Romney became the nominee; but he had vigorously opposed Romney enough in the primaries to respect those who remained opposed to him)
