Anybody notice a lack of enthusiasm by Trumpanzees on Facebook?

[progressoid]

My "friends" seem like they've all shut up in the last few weeks. Buyers' remorse? Embarrassment?

I even tracked down a few that I un-followed on Facebook because of their rabid trumpiness. And they've even shut up. Hell, I haven't even seen the annual war on Xmas memes.

Is it just me?

1. Seems that the antidote to being embarrassed by Trump was Trump

on the stump. He'd win back the people who were beginning to think things through with his routine. Now he is hardly on the stump. He has no crowd to read.

5. And his only means of communication are tweets and Kelly C.

That's not exactly inspirational.

The media also sort of stepped up to the plate. Sort of.

[applegrove]

9. Maybe the media could corral him by only making things fun for Trump

when he actually behaves presidential.

2. They know they screwed up. Trump becomes a bigger embarrasment every day.

Installed by the Russians and just about every appointment has Russian or white supremacist connections.

7. I'm going to see a relative next week who was super gung-ho for Twitler.

She's been weirdly silent the last few weeks. It should be an interesting weekend!

14. Good luck with that, but you'll have plenty of material to refer to if politics come up.

[adigal]

34. Let us know what she says!!! I'm not even talking to my Trump voting relatives. nt

3. I have noticed that too, but I took it as just the fact that the election is over. But you would

think the Trumpeters would be singing their furors praises and giving high fives for how he is "draining the swamp". But they are pretty quiet. They should be on their knees asking for forgiveness for putting America on this dangerous and dark path.

4. First off, the war on christmas is "over"

according the the right wing media. Xtians won.

Second,the feeling seems to be "He is shaking things up, give him a chance!"

Sort of the same thing the Germans said about Hitler when he annexed the Sudetenland and then Austria.

[progressoid]

8. Well, of course the war on Christmas is over.

The Atheist Muslim is leaving office in January.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

28. Yeah

Even some Republicans are acting like his Taiwan call is either "no big deal" or a brave new strategy depending on who you ask and whether or not you believe that Trump is capable of developing actual "strategy". You know, (nuclear) war with another major country like would really "shake things up" too.

6. They don't have anyone to hate anymore (and we still have a month before it's okay to be a white

supremacist

Spreading fake articles to bully a grandmother was their primary use of social media.

[sarah FAILIN]

10. I deleted most all those people

The ones I kept are those that didn't post things anyway, BUT 1 is openly posting breitbart "news". I pointed out one thing he posted was a misleading headline due to wording that meant the exact opposite of what we would think. He said nothing.

[progressoid]

13. There were so many fake things posted before the election it was hard to keep up.

I pointed out one glaring fake news post and that person suddenly un-friended me! But he still has his profile public so I was able to check him out recently. He's basically stopped posting. Which is very unusual. He was posting all the time before. And not just Trump shit. I think he's in hiding.

[Wounded Bear]

11. No longer getting paid to troll?

[duffyduff]

12. I just hide their political links or unfollow them.

They just are hopeless, willfully stupid.

[JSup]

15. Beer goggles wore off (nt)

[pnwest]

16. I actually regret having unfriended all the

trumpistas from my list, cause I'm very curious about how they're feeling about their boy now. I got into some days' long wars right after the election, and I just had to let them go cause I couldn't take any more of the stupid. But I'd love to know how they feel about him now! Id be thrilled if just ONE of them proved smart enough to see the light - and admit it. It'd go a long way to restoring my ability to feel hopeful about our future.

17. Prolly cause a lot of voters move onto other interests after the vote.

[synergie]

18. The eggs with the poor English are back in droves though, on twitter.

[yardwork]

19. They got what they wanted. They're not paying attention now.

They went back to whatever they were complaining about before the election.

[orleans]

20. good responses on this post

i haven't noticed any pro trump from the couple of people i used to see them from (don't have a lot of friends who cheered him on)

but i'm thinking, perhaps another reason for this is that they seem to have a short attention span

(and funny you mention war on xmas--just the other day i was just thinking that i haven't seen a thing about it)

[womanofthehills]

21. Nothing from the Trumpies on my Facebook - extremely silent

except a few gun pictures, and one wayward cousin worried about his Social Security. I keep posting lots of Medicare/SS posts to scare them.

I've noticed that some of my friends who were kind of silent during the election have finally gotten very vocal with Trump's cabinet picks.

[jumptheshadow]

22. In some cases, I believe people have realized its politics vs. family

The silence is, in some cases, an unspoken truce.

[maryellen99]

23. The trump voters in my husbands family are being silent on mine

But they've ignored me since I put the H logo on my FB page on Election Day and a meme about being hypocritical about now wanting to unite after trashing Obama for 8 years. They even ignored my post about my husband having cancer surgery.

[Lucinda]

24. Yep. It's total silence from them...

[SDJay]

25. I've Noticed Something Different

The ones still on my social media feeds have gone from insufferably bombastic - as if their favorite football team just won a big game - back to what they were under that scary Obama. They've had so much shit rightfully flung at them from so many directions after helping to elect that embarrassment that they're defensive. They're back to crying about how they are so aggrieved and treated so unfairly. Because, you know, affluent white christians have had it so rough here in the US.

Basically, it seems like they're mimicking their messiah by coming out bullying and then whimpering like freaking cowards when beaten back with facts and tweets from King Orange the Stupid.

I've been asking them when they decided that they owed more allegiance to Russia than the US in recent days. Lots of whining in the few responses I've actually received.

Fuck them.

[kimbutgar]

26. I dealt with one who says I should accept the results and get over it

But she is kind of tepid in her attacks.

[livetohike]

27. I noticed the same thing with my FB friends. Very, very quiet.

I don't know why. I hope they are worried now.

[Adsos Letter]

29. I have a friend on FB who was promising to "try not to gloat" about Trump's win.

This person won't even engage on politics now, and has shifted from posting about politics to a non-stop stream of feel good animal videos.

[Runningdawg]

30. The few r-wingers I knew who used FB

are gone. They consider the war to be won with their king on the throne. One even expressed her glee that FB and liberals will soon "get what is coming to them" when real names and address distributed so the purge could begin.
Make no mistake, the zealots are planning genocide and may achieve civil war.
You know how your spidey senses go off if the kids or dogs are TOO quite? Yeah, its like that.

[SpicyBoi]

31. I wouldn't get too excited.

They won the election. When President Obama won, there were less posts from Democrats that I know on FaBo. I think it just comes with the territory.

[LaydeeBug]

32. Sure do. They see that they really lost, and Russia handed it to them. They know it too

This is a coup

And it's treason.

[janlyn]

33. No,not just you.

Just crickets on my Facebook feed.

[jzodda]

35. I think that they are just laying low

But they are still around. I don't think that they are going to go away. They see Republicans control the entire government and so don't feel the need to comment.

[oberliner]

36. They need things to yell and scream about

Without Hillary as their "bad guy" - they are sort of at a loss as to where and how to vent their anger.

[ailsagirl]

37. What the hell do they want, anyway??
