5. I dunno why everybody is so down on FB.

I USE facebook. I say what I want, and if anybody gives me shit, I ream them out...call them trump assholes and dumbshits, rebut their arguments in as scathing a tone as I can, then take a screenshot and repost their dumbshittery and my answers. I make fun of them for a couple of days, and they go away...never to be heard from again.
I have a core of about 120 friends who are like-minded, and they've started to do the same.
I have not un-friended anybody. Ever.

they stick in a toes. then I start spilling the facts after facts after facts. I agree. I told everyone when I got on FB, I have spent a lifetime watching what I say. Not on my FB. Don't like it? Unfriend me. I won't take it personally. I too see no reason to unfriend. If they keep the shit on their wall. I don't have to read it.

That's what's nice about cyber relationships.

They say something stupid... I call it stupid. If it's a lie...I say lie... not that it's wrong.

"Can you tie your own shoes?"

"Where were you educated?"

"What color is the sky on your planet?"

"You believe the earth is flat, too?"

7. You have GOP friends who are Trumpers?

I stopped. I can comprehend someone being a conservative or Republican, and reasonable minds may differ. I’ll give the benefit of a doubt to people who voted For Trump in 2016. But anyone who continued to support the asshole after 4 years of his nonsense neither can be reasonable, nor someone I can respect or want to be friendly with.

11. It's mostly family for me. What are you going to do? We try to avoid the topic mostly.

But some of them are Pro-Lifers and therefore Republican for that reason. So I think if they REALLY knew the down and dirty about TRUMP they would be appalled.

But the TRUMP machine spreads so much dis-information and plays such a little victim, that it's hard to find the truth in the avalanche of lies.

However, a lot of them have been buying lies about Biden. Lots of fake videos out there and allegations that would curl anyone's hair or straighten it, depending on how your hair started out.

It's like being mad at someone who got taken into a cult and brainwashed. Mostly you just hope they can get out and find themselves again.

Have said that it's not the media that make the call on who is president; that there are still votes left to be counted, etc. I've been nice and not pointed out that the reason the media made the call is because the votes left to be counted won't matter, and that if they had called for Trump (and when they called for Trump in 2016), they would have and probably did take that as good enough proof.

Damn, Trump got the whole 2020 experience.
He got Covid, lost his job, and is about to be evicted.
