FaceBook users who have right-wing heavy posting jerks [View all]

I have a semi-popular podcast, and a lot of folks "friend" me on my personal FB page. In the past I would accept with no questions asked.

But lately—or actually since the last election—I've tired of the right-wing blow-hard nonsense postings that I see these people posting, and I have begun unfriending them when I see a post I am fervently against.

Is anyone else in this situation? Do you think I'm wrong for this? I feel bad sometimes, but it makes me sick to see their posts.

Thanks!
