I have a (malingering) Friend on Facebook who is a blind disciple of Donald Trump.
Below are a few examples of what she posts: First, her comment, then the caption of the article she posted.
They're pretty consistent.
Comment: Left-fascists are out of control.
Headline: Look what happened to UC Berkeley man last night walking out to buy hotdog during riot (picture: bloodied head)
Comment: Time for RINOS to be voted out.
Caption: Is It Time for Term Limits? (picture: John McCain with Lindsay Graham)
Comment: Just lovely
Caption: Shouts of Allahu Akbar in Court as Muslim Sex Gang Sentenced for Child Rape
Comment: Progressive America. Despicable.
Caption: WATCH: Pre-School Teacher Horrifies Internet
Wants to Kill White House, Destroy White People [GRAPHIC]
And out of the blue, she posted today either a Steve Bannon headfuck or a change of some sort:

It isn't just her. Another Trump disciple wants Facebook to "return" to kitty and puppy videos. He used to lambaste Obama and praise Sarah Palin and Donald Trump. Now this . . . .

.. She said she wishes for them to be treated to the same courtesies they extended to her.
We need to get a clip of that so we can post it repeatedly to their whining posts.

(14,566 posts)For all their arrogant "snowflake" bullshit ...
1) You can't beat them with the truth stick, the more wrong they are proven to be, the more corksure they are of how right they are, even when they are absurdly wrong.
2) The ones who are saying, why can't everyone just give him a chance or asking that people not talk politics have that little slice of conscience kicking in, but even at that, they can't have the vile liberals be right.

(24,414 posts)Once Limbaugh issued his marching orders telling the GOP to stop feeling sorry for themselves and ashamed of the mess they wrought under GWB- and to not even dare think of cooperating with President Obama even though he and the Democratic Party won a resounding victory and overwhelming majorities in 2008. They immediately set out to de-legitimize him with the birther stuff- helped along by 45- and obstruct him and Democrats on everything- even stuff they used to support. Then they cap everything off during his last year with taking a SCOTUS seat away from President Obama. And now they expect us to be all nice and friendly with Birther-In-Chief? What the f**k ever!

(7,963 posts)About their community, the world in which we live. Shit has hit the fan and as citizens we have an obligation to stand up and voice our concerns. So this new meme about more puppies and cat threads because they are tired of the political posts is offensive to me. It is meant to disregard and devalue our concerns.
Luckily, I only have a few of those people. I have blocked all the right wing sites, unfollowed a few, and unfriended even more. I hide their posts and for the most part, it has worked. I don't see the madness that my friends are seeing.

(31,392 posts)and what surprised me was that it came from a leftie friend who lives near Seattle!
I suspect she got it from a private group (from which I removed myself after only one member had anything to say when
the Charleston church murders happened) which is mostly Republicans. It was a bunch of white, pat themselves on
the back pretend Christians, just going on with their lives. One of the women was in the Barbara Bush mold (and happens
to live in Texas) and when I questioned whether people didn't have any response to the horrific church murders, posted
that she has to concentrate on "being happy". Well, fu*k her and the elephant she rode in on. Even though I left
the private group, that woman remained a friend until, guess what? She got her panties in a wad when the Dallas cops
were killed during the BLM protest. Huh. Talk about two different standards. That was it for me with her.
Anyway, to me, seeing the left leaning friend post that graphic--knowing she's still in that group--suggests to me what
can happen over time when you surround yourself with people who have a different point of view. She's gradually acclimating
to their standards.
Screw it. I will not go quietly. I will not have right wingers telling me what to post on my fb wall. If they don't like my politics,
then unfriend me. I've done it to them and it doesn't bother me in the slightest to have them do it to me.
RESIST!

(36,312 posts)They call for unity, to give Trump a chance and a desire that people stop talking about politics even though they themselves posted much about politics prior to the election.

(32,086 posts)I had a run-in with a Trumpanzee who was spewing politics. When I called her out, she was all "Hush! No politics here!" I just said to her, "You have been spouting politics for the last 10 minutes, and because I disagree with them, I'm just supposed to shut up? Okay, gotcha." This bed-wetting jackass mumbled something about me needing to think about how I'll feel when I'm being forced to wear a burqua, and then tried to change the subject. I seriously think these people are becoming psychotic from the lack of sleep, as it must be hard to sleep in piss-soaked beds like that.

(3,208 posts)One of them posted something (a video with that Tomi? person with the bleached hair and a head full of talking points). I disputed part of it (politely!) and she said she did agree with that point I made. We agreed that everyone has a right to speak out, but when they are wrong it needs to be said. She said we had to give trump a chance. I said I would be watching him.
After that it was pretty obvious he blew his chance very fast. I thought it would take until summer!
But yes, there is an over feel of "oh, let's not talk politics and just forget about how the republicans obstructed Obama for 8 years!" All the kitty videos in the world won't make me forget that!
