32. I dropped a significant number of FB

friends during the 2016 election. Anybody who supported Trump was gone, especially the ones who were proud to be deplorables and then told people devastated by Trump's win, that it wouldn't be so bad.

I figured I didn't need racist, bigoted, fans of a con man who was totally unqualified to be POTUS in my life. No regrets.
