I lost all those "Friends" during Obama's first term .

 

Just "Like" their "Unfriend" LOL

 

I finally lost a FB friend over this. He accused me, basically, of being on my way to fascism.
Anybody here relate to this?

I KNOW that guy, he unfriended me too. I could care less. :thumb:

 

So they had the audacity to unfriend you. I'm pretty sure you have the strength to move on with life. Most likely, you're going to get a friend request again somewhere down the line. If not, maybe you should be considered lucky to have filtered out someone that is narrow minded of others views.

 

Boy, fakebook has really changed the term "my friend"

 

My un-friend

 

Pardon me for asking the obvious here......WHO CARES? DON'T LET THE DOOR HIT YOU ON THE ASS ON YOUR WAY TO "UNFRIENDING ME"

Sorry if that's a bit strident but why do you even have a relationship with people like that? I have family members I've divorced from my life because they're just to stupid to tolerate, and my tolerance for stupid has gotten REAL short over the past 8 years.

 

................................................................................................this x's 100% they're not your friends

 

I barely get on Facebook anymore. Just once every couple of days or so to see if there is a funny video or something.

I have to just scroll past the political vomit I see. I am having to avoid conversations with my sister lately. She is a typical liberal. She is allowed to say whatever she wants but gets offended if someone disagrees. I got enough going on in my life than having to deal with that crap.

 

This is kind of where I'm at. My SIL(my brother's wife) was/is a huge Hillary supporter - was in the Bernie camp before that - and a few other people I grew up with are pretty much the same. Most of them I never realized how liberal they actually are until the election. I just go in there now to see the occasional family picture from various people while scrolling through all the liberal junk.

Oh well - more time to read books now

 

Facebook is for the birds

 

My purpose in mentioning this was to illustrate how toxic things are today. It's as if one "must" believe this, think that, etc. I'd rather stand up for my beliefs even if that means I will have a streamlined circle of friends.

Friends accept each others' differences.

 

Friends accept each others' differences.

exactly, so you need to change the title of this thread from "friends" to "some people I once knew in my lifetime"

 

Real friends don't let politics define their friendship.

 

Normal adjusted people can agree to disagree... There is nothing wrong with having opinions, and different opinions create good conversation.

 

I wouldn't worry about it, I dumped about a dozen FB friends (some I personally know) after Trump won.

A couple were just being obnoxious SJW twenty something **** heads. I warned everyone in my circle, that if they couldn't talk civilly, then they were banished.

So far, I've had two of them ask why I unfriended them, I told them why and added that they could go pound sand.

My life's a lot happier now.

 

Facebook is a real means to divide families.

I too lost a friend. I had had enough of the complete moronic political crap he posted. We never agree and many arguments get England to where he all out melts down and starts attacking me on a personal level. So I unfriended him.

Many text messages later I made the mistake of friending him. Well low and behold the same crap started up again. So I defriended him again. Which completely turned him into meltdown mode via text. That bridge is burnt now but the last thing he did say was to expect a lawsuit for slander and that he would have my house by xmas.

Still living there though. I have known him for 30 years. We used to have very similar ideas but while I remained right of center, he moved left, then more left and onto liberal then leftist mode. He is full blown San Francisco left living in Milwaukee.

I didn't even vote for Trump. I wrote in Marco Rubio.

Oh well.

 

I'm confused by this "losing friends" line. It doesn't sound to me as if you've lost anything. And the people to whom you're referring weren't your friends.

 

The anti free speech nazis are not friends.

You can't lose what you never had...

 

A lot of my facebook friends are left wing musicians, artists, poets, dancers and teachers.Kev keeps the survivalist mentality real.

I lost a Scottish friend who posted a campaign for an Australian family who were been deported. I said "they're far too like us, have the same religion speak the same language. They're not going to genitally mutilate their daughters and their sons aren't going to bomb us".He didn't like that and unfriended me for being an extremist"

One facebook beautiful singer jewess said Trump banning the muslims was like Hitler's 1930's europe. I asked if in the 1930's zionists were killing hundreds of people in europe. understandable silence from her.

 

The worst thing is its not even a ban of Muslims as the vast majority of Muslims can still come here with a VISA.

The problem is that the targeted countries will not share info on who wants to travel to the USA/have no functioning government/is an actual country hostile to the USA.

I despise false positions.

 

Anybody here relate to this?

I think I can. Not about the unfriending at FB because I don't spend time there and have no friends, but I have heard of many acting out from a mental commitment to hate Trump, which prevents them from applying reason or even finding out facts. It's all emotional for many people and anyone who differs from them in any way is considered to be an enemy.

Generally such people can't tell you what policies Trump is in favor of; only what the social media of their friends and the MSM has told them, that Trump is a misogynist, a racist, a Muslim hater, a Mexican hater, and a fascist. They don't question what they are told but swallow it all. I know it's painful to be cut off and rudely treated by even an online friend, especially when it's unjustified and comes from a misunderstanding.

 

I don't post political stuff on Facebook. I just post photos of us, our animals and updates on how we are doing.
I have some FB friends I have had for a long time ( almost 20 years) that would disagree with me on politics, others would disagree with me on religion, so I only discuss those things on here or some other forums that people you know in person are not on. There are only a handfull of really close friends that know the truth about how I feel about politics and religion. They agree with me on politics, and they "hope and pray" that I get my religion back...( which I most likely won't unless something supernatural happens to me)

 

Nope, didn't lose any friends over the election. But then again, I wouldn't have been friends with anyone who would support a criminal tyrant for president in the first place.

You pick your friends, but not your family.

 

You pick your friends, but not your family.

Bull.

Family is more than blood, it is what people are willing to sacrifice for you.

I have non-blood whom are worth more than 3/4 of my family because they have been there.

You can indeed choose your family, some are just not brave enough to do it.

 

The fewer libtards in your life the better.

 

My wife is up to 8 or 9 so far (I don't do face book ). They're not friends they're just someone she knows. They will weed themselves out pretty soon.

 

They were never real friends in the first place if a political disagreement ends a friendship. I am just amazed at the collective temper tantrum the liberals are throwing. When they get their way they gloat and antagonize, when they don't they become irrational and lash out. I root everyday for Trump to do something to tick them off. Maybe they can have a mass stoke. Sick of all the juvenile BS from the left.

 

I am a little upset because I only joined facebook to get pics of my granddaughters who live far away. The mother who is divorced from my son was affable and posted pics frequently. Now all i get is crazy liberal bull crap no granddaughter pics and I hate to block her just in case granddaughter pics start coming.

Umm, life is to short to worry/think about shallow minded acquaintances in either virtual world or the real world...

They say the older you get that the more patience you have, I find that statement completely opposite for myself...I have less and less patience for idiots, leftists and the public in general...

 

I'm still waiting to see if Facebook is a fad or if it's here to stay before I sign up.

 

It has been around over a decade, and sadly I don't think it is going anywhere until humans start getting replaced by robots.

 

I just unfriended someone today because I got tired of her "he (trump) homophobic, anti immigrant, going to kill us all , he's a facist and if you voted for you are too".oh and her Feinsteinian "my husband needs a gun but you don't" Crap
