In reply to the discussion: I have ended a friendship with a MAGA [View all]kwolf68
(8,119 posts)19. Yea. I was thinking of that
I actually deleted another clown from Facebook. This guy was truly awful and is a mutual friend of me and this other guy. But I have a few who post crap.
Not sure how to take this. Is this the "arena of ideas"? Should I delete everyone on my friends list who are righties?
I will say this, I had planned to visit fam in North Carolina in October, but that won't be happening. I feel good about that, but it also feels weird to eliminate contact with family and friends because of politics. But I don't think this is "politics" anymore. This is far bigger.

Yep, it's like cleaning out the garage. Cathartic and the lack of stress inducing clutter will prove relaxing.

The Facebook and X battlefield has been lost to disinformation and the malignantly cruel and stupid among us.

Yeah, I'm with you. I haven't seen the point in being friends with conservatives whatsoever since the early 2000s.

Been there. Similar situation. It's hard, but you have to put your mental health first.

For the last ten years my New Year's resolution has been to keep fidiots and jerkholes out of my life.

The only friend I had who I now think has probably completely been swallowed by MAGA
