Why is Free Republic an anti-American site these days?

 Free Republic has long been anti-Democrat but ever since the second phase of Russia's war to conquer Ukraine started the site has taken on a decidedly anti-American posture. 

The open hatred of America on Free Republic seems to me the kind of thing I'd expect from the Democrats yet here it is on Free Republic...of all places! 

For instance here's a topic posted today and let's sample a few posts:

And etc. 

Any more it seems that Free Republic posts have a decidedly anti-American bent to them and the site hosts a chorus of adamantly pro-Russian posters. 

The only question anymore is who hates America more? Free Republic or Democratic Underground?

"The List"

In the aftermath of the Russian invasion of Ukraine earlier this year I started tracking troll activity on Free Republic.

Yes, he's pro-Putin and pro-Russia but he's also such an asshole that while the Russians might be thieving, raping, murdering ghouls I still won't blame them for the sheer assholery this cretin publishes every day. I don't think he's a troll, he's just an asshole.  But back to my list. There's mostly accounts involved with Russi

Additions to The List

 We've had a couple new additions to the list of probable Russian trolls.  6thavenue Since Dec 31, 2022 scan_complete Since Sep 8, 2022 captain_jonas Since Apr 18, 2022 AmericaFirst101 Since Apr 29, 2022 There's also been a very noticeable uptick in longtime accounts suddenly going active on the Ukraine topics and with obviously coordinated Russian propaganda narratives. This is since the first of January. The trend is easy to see when you start looking at the accounts, their sign up dates, their previous absence on Ukraine topics, and their sudden activity on these topics where they often evidence knowledge of all the players on these topics. The non-stop daily nuclear threats from the Russians keep getting amplified on FR.  Jim Robinson (or Chris Robinson who sometimes uses Jim's account) keeps weighing in to silence anyone who upsets the pro-Russian trolls. Yet he (Jim or Chris) is conspicuously silent over the activities of the Russian trolls.  A pro-Ukrainian poster co
