I've spent much of the last 6 months defriending Right Wingers

51. I've defriended one person and been defriended by two others over politics

The one posted a homophobic rant on my page. The other two didn't take kindly to my views regarding 1) Rush Limbaugh and 2) Benghazi.

Apart from family (who actually don't post anything political and ignore my political posts) I only have one Conservative friend that I actively talk with. And he's full on "Go Galt." We disagree almost completely about politics but he's been supportive of me when I was having problems and I've returned the favor. I don't respect his politics (and I don't think he respects mine) but we do respect each other and have pretty much agreed to disagree on politics - we've got enough else to talk about. I also block him whenever I go off on something I know he'd argue about - out of respect as much as not wanting to argue! And the one thing that keeps me from blocking his more rabid right-wing posts is that he doesn't blindly repost the viral pictures and posters, his rants never goes beyond the pale (even when I want to scream "you idiot!" at him), and he's quick to quash comments from his right wing friends when he thinks they've gone too far. He's the only civil paleo-right winger I've run into online.
