That way, they don't know that they've been unfriended (if they would even notice, and probably not). But if the unfeeded friend posts something noteworthy enough for another friend to like it or recommend it, then it will show up in my feed. Saves a LOT of time and unnecessary anger.

...help you find a lost pet, offer to stay with you after someone you loved died—cleaning your house and making phone calls?

These are "friends." If not one of these 96 would do any of those things, then they're just people you're allowing on your Facebook page. Why you're allowing them there is up to you, but I'd start to wonder why my page was attracting racists and nut jobs. I'd also start to worry about whether they might know enough about me to cause me trouble.

Some guy that I don't really know, but I liked his paged because of the fact that I like pages of music artists in order to download their music for free.

I checked Hil's page, I have 12 friends there who have liked her page.

I never get and pro-Trump in my feed by the way. Saves a lot of trouble, that's for sure.

I have friends who are very liberal Democrats who "Like" his Facebook page as a "know thy enemy" kind of thing. I couldn't stomach it, but people do it. DUers watch Fox or listen to Rush or browse Freeperland for similar reasons.

and the rest of them don't like politician facebook pages apparently. The one who likes Trump is a good friend and nice person. I think she just is bad at making political decisions. She seems to vote Republican because her family does... like it is about supporting your team. She also has her family over for just about every Patriots game too. She's close to her family and is into supporting teams. She just doesn't get that supporting Republicans is a bit different than supporting the Patriots. If the Patriots win/lose it doesn't matter much because it doesn't really affect your life other than the conversations you might have. Politics does directly affect your life. She actually is a pretty open minded person so she could change eventually. Perhaps she doesn't even support Trump anymore and she forgot she liked him on Facebook a long time ago (that is altogether possible). I don't push the politics issue with friends.
