In reply to the discussion: My daughters friends don't want face masks [View all]Sherman A1
(38,958 posts)4. I assume that the political posts to which you refer are on Facebook
I would encourage you to refrain from doing so going forward and keep those things away from where they can be seen by your daughters friends. I know of no one whos mind was changed by a social media political post of statement and many a friendship or family relationship has been damaged by them. I use Facebook, but it is mostly read only and my posts rarely have anything to do with politics or social issues.
As to the masks 😷, likely not much to be done beyond keeping yourself and family members as covered and vaccinated as possible. People are going to do what they want until they either contract the disease or a mandate of one kind or another forces their hand.
