Went to the RW septic tank known as FreeRepublic to see what they were saying about Greenland. It is so bad

[artemisia1]

that the only sane one -- on this issue -- has KKK founder and Confederate Lieutenant General Nathan Bedford Forrest for his avatar. The rest want war with NATO to destroy "the New World Order" once and for all.

It is hard to go to that site, and generally I don't recommend it, but "know they enemy" is a precept of war.

1. Last time I looked, years ago, it appeared to have, like, twenty participants...

Each operating a dozen socks. Talk about an echo machine.

2. Freerep is 99% in trumps pocket, there are 2 members who push back

Just this week, over Trump prosecuting Powell, those 2 were saying "not a good idea", while the other 99% were " Trump is playing 4d chess" type responses.

3. That site is not a good microcosm

As pointed out, very low active members. They have threads pinned on the front page under breaking news from months ago. They routinely are days behind on stories I see in other places.

Reddit has some groups of conservatives who think the Greenland thing is idiotic.

4. They are a good representation of the CORE of die-hard Trump supporters. True, they are no longer the force they

were during the GW Bush and, later, Obama years, but they give a good read and insight into the True Believer's mindset.

5. And the fact that the true believers have been scammed is so obvious to everyone,

including the true believers, that they have to dig in and double down hard so they don't feel like absolute idiots. So if Cankles told them to kill their mothers and make a stew out of them, they'd high five each other about three dimensional chess, and then do it.

6. If you really want to see what the crazies think, head to PDW.

Patriots dot win, a.k.a, "The Donald." Freepers can't hold a candle to those fascists.

7. Just went there. Bad, real bad, but not quite the level of 2004 era FreeRepublic when it was still a force and

a parallel site to DU. Polar opposite and icky.
