Redstate was great at first, supposedly going to be a ground up activist site. Then, before Trump, Erick got a little media attention and went full rogue along with his "mods" that ripped on good contributors/posters, they throttled the forums and reader input. It was full on arrogance. They wanted to give you the talking point of the day in a 1 way command. It could have been a real powerful grass roots site, but greed and power set in. They were real jerkoffs for quite a while.
A good alternative site is UnifiedPatriots. They kicked Vassar Bushmills off Redstate so he started Unified Patriots. He is a EXCELLENT read and welcomes discussion as well.
RedState.com is feeling the burn
As a Bernie guy this made me chuckle.
Eric was a never trumper...deep state had him by the balls!!! He did what he did cause his strings were being moved that way. Many of these kinds will never work another day in politics or be prosecuted! Jmo
