I had let a lot slide before this but when they 'liked' and reposted some gif that made our president out to be the leader of ISIL and talked about "removing" him to destroy ISIL, that was a bridge to far.
The other, different person, was about Syrian refugees getting beaten, raped or killed was something they deserved, so I couldn't take it anymore.
While we have always had friends we don't agree with politically, this racist, xenophobic hate speech is something I don't have to force myself to look at or interact with and something I can't just let slide without comment.
