I've scraped off two family members (and counting) today because of racist posts on social media. For example, I posted an angry shot of the Trumper carrying a Confederate Battle Flag in the halls of Congress, and I had an uncle who responded "About time, looks better than BLM bullshit."
So I immediately blocked his posts, and moved on. For all intents and purposes, he's out of my life. I do not expect to speak to him again on the green side of the grass. Not by choice, in any case.

(3,379 posts)Today, I posted a message telling them to leave our friendship if they support this. This includes lifelong friends who have been through huge ups and downs with me. Painful.
