118. I didn't know because I am not on FB

I am not asking you, DU or anyone to stop using FB.

Again. Pointing out that by having an account there one is supporting the site and the people that make the decisions etc.

Those people support tRump policies if not tRump himself.

I think that this hits a little too close to home for those that have become so DIVISIVE about my OP. Even to the point of inviting me to leave. Feeling a little exclusive too, are you?
Too bad.

Bottom line? By having an account at FB, one supports them.
