Thats a bummer. Oh well, not much you can do about it I guess. I know I have had a few people unfriend me. One might not have been political though unless you consider church politics.

Maybe someday she will be able to process your position better.

The funny part of something I just thought about is that 20 years ago she had less progressive ideas and we actually had a lot in common politically. She has moved radically to the left yet she said she said she didn’t understand my way of thinking. Even though she thought the same way about a lot of political topics 20 or so years ago. Oh well, I would have probably never seen her again anyway.

There is always a certain amount of interest I have in how two people can look at a set of circumstances and come to very different conclusions.

my sister in law un-friended me right after Trump got elected
she is hard core left wing Trump hater, and I am not
right before the election I was posting some pro-Trump stuff, and when he was elected I posted a few "I told you so" posts, and she immediately un-friended me.  good, I don't like her anyway!   

Yeah, the “I told you so” and her being, well, a her I’m sure didn’t mix well. 

I guess I never noticed if folks unfriended me. I don’t post anything about politics though. I’ll comment here and there, but avoid social media arguments more than discussing politics, which I absolutely hate.

Check that, I’ve had exes unfriend me.  Otherwise if you’re gonna get all bent and unfriend me and can’t say anything to my face, f’em. Got enough friends.

Instagram is also getting "worn out."  Now, you have to have SnapChat & Reddit.

Seems after a social media site gets too popular, it loses it's entertainment value.

I like Reddit for certain things. And I read this morning in the financial news that Snapchat is losing their CEO and that they are losing users. Not sure what that means for their future.

Problem for me is I would not bother with FB if it was not for the fact my whole family is on there and I use it to keep up and in touch with them. If my family left for another social media site I would leave as well.

FB is a convenient way to keep up with family and friends, especially the ones that I haven't seen in a while or don't see regularly.  Yeah, I could certainly call, text, email, write a letter, page, carrier pigeon, etc.  I do with my closer friends and family.  It is what it is, which for me is a way to keep in touch with people.  Yeah, I am "friends" with folks who have what I think are assbackwards ways of thinking, and they probably think the same about me. 

I just don't see why folks get so bent from stuff on FB.  It's a window in what's happening in life in general.  Same can be said for internet forums.  The internet does provide an opportunity to express oneself without fear of reprisal.  That leads to:

I unfollow almost everyone
I don't need to be notified when someone takes a dump or their dog got their nails trimmed

Follow only the FB skanks.

I also chose a long time ago not to get into "discussions" on FB or like medias.  They serve no purpose.  There is no way that I'm going to change someones mind.  But what I doodoo, is post facts if anything.  But many times, that "triggers" people also.  The left is so brain washed by the media that they refuse to accept facts.

But like I said above, I'm not going to stop being someones friend because they're a dumbass.

I've had a very good friend unfriend me on Facebook because of politics.  That was a big big surprise to me many years ago, to realize that it didn't take much to break that friendship and that the Internet and Social Media allow one to overshare sometimes.  (My friend didn't like a post I shared that abortion is the same thing as killing babies.)   Now, when I see my friend in person, we say hi and talk story as before.  We just never discuss anything online anymore.

Onset of MAWWS?

I see your comment now. Just so you know, I did not post it on your FB page. I shared it with everyone who wants to follow me. If you do not want to see what I share with everyone then please unfollow me. I love you and hope you and Max are doing well.

The things I share are only seen by you in your newsfeed. They do not appear on your FB page.

I feel like such a troglodyte, I have no idea what you are talking about here, other than this deals with some sort of Facebook issue?  No idea what you guys do on there.  Wife uses it but keeps me away from it when she is logged in.

What sort of trouble is she thinking I might cause?

I’ll try not to get too technical. FB has several parts. One part is called your FB page. Your FB page is like a personal blog or website. Only you or your friends can post to your FB page. Your FB page can also be called your timeline. You share photos, feelings and how many shits you take a day. Another part is your newsfeed. FB throws all sorts of advertising and news at you on your news feed depending on the sort of things you seem to like and click on. I like political news so they fill my newsfeed with lots of political stuff. I am a member of the NRA so I get NRA stuff. When I get something that I want to share with people who follow me I share it (Like the NRA meme I posted) and it shows up in everyone’s newsfeed. If people don’t want to see what I share, then they can unfollow me but stay my friend. Or they can unfriended me altogether. They can also specify that they don’t want to receive just NRA related stuff.

So after several years of me sharing conservative news and political related articles and NRA memes she finally complained and I told her to unfollow me.

Just realize that everyone in your family and all your friends who are on FB, you will eventually connect with and become FB friends. When you become friends with someone you automatically follow that person so you will see everything they post and everything they share. And it means they will see everything you share and post as well. So if you want to piss off family members this is an easy way of doing it by posting obnoxious conservative news and memes like I do. I hope I explained FB to you so you can decide to not get on it. 

how many shits you take a day.

Sort of what I thought of it.  I see tourists taking pictures of their dinner as it is served, then spend ten minutes farting around with their iPhag.

The rest, I just do not like people enough for all that.
