Most of real friends who are on facebook are liberal. My aquaintances from HS and other places are either non political or are being silent. I've only seen three relatives post pro-Romney items. And ever since my parents started progressing in their dementia, we never discuss politics anymore.

When I have seen an anti-Obama post from a FB aquaintance I have no contact with in real life, I defriend them promptly. Life is too short.
