Now you can get unfriended for not hating Trump enough
The New York Post ^ | December 15, 2016 | Karol Markowicz

By now we’ve all heard how the contentious election, and the surprising result, has frayed friendships — especially on social media. Hillary Clinton supporters, angry and dismayed at the result, have chopped Trump-loving friends off their friend lists. But the culling seems to be progressing beyond just active Trump supporters. Now, some people who are insufficiently anti-Trump, even if they didn’t vote for him, are getting the boot.

Dorian Davis, an adjunct professor of media in Washington, DC, has noticed a slide in his friend count because, he suspects, he’s not “critical enough of Trump.”

“If you post anything even remotely critical of Clinton’s campaign, or of this new movement to dump the Electoral College, or point out even one single thing Trump’s done that you like, you get accused in the comment section of aiding and abetting the next Hitler, and before you know it, you’re down a Facebook friend or two,” Davis said....

As liberal heads continue to explode, the entertainment factor just continues to grow.

I knocked several people off of my facebook. Not so much of their anti-Trump views, but because they constantly called Trump supporters racist and what not. So they were basically saying me and many people in my family were terrible people. Why keep friends like that?

Shedding negative people in your life is well worth it.

It is no big loss. Professor Davis does not need supporters of totalitarian dictatorship on his friends list anyway.

Interesting that come 2017 those aggressively supporting the Podesta-run Clinton Campaign, so visible on social media, may have to show they are not enabling human trafficking, child abuse, and worse. Most Libs have no clue just exactly what they are supporting. But reality may arrive soon.

If you are on Facebook you might as well contribute to the DNC.

I took a break from it a few weeks before the election, only popping up from time to time. My friends miss me!

Liberal scum continue to scream, berate and threaten anyone who does not agree with their perverted worldview or opinion, but continue to exhalt their “tolerance and understanding” in comparison to conservatives. They are truly vile, evil, soulless and demented scum...

I hate the media, my own sister is so brainwashed by the media that she is starting to verbally attack my family.

They make an innocent comment about Trump in earshot of her, not even starting a discussion to pick on her or anything, just a quick ‘hey did you hear about the guy he picked for SOS etc.. and then she goes ballistic, ‘why are you talking about politics...what is wrong with you?

And then after she gets all nasty she blames them because they started to talk politics and upset her. She’s 60 and was never like this before. It’s nuts.

Sounds like she’s mentally ill. Has she been checked out by a doctor recently ?

This is a good thing. Why would you want to be facebook friends with anyone shallow enough to un-friend you over something like this.
