Has anyone else started calling out Facebook friends who support Trump?

[Anonymous]

Or am I the only one who has crossed the Rubicon here?

I have never engaged politically with people on Facebook before, but something about this election and their braindead posts really just finally did it for me.

No one has unfriended me yet, and I try to remain polite, and I only respond to things people have already posted, I'm not constantly sharing political posts or anything.

But I am pretty relentless. Polite, but relentless. There is no turning back...

no

Why?

[Anonymous]

I don't get involved in FB political debates. I have close friends and family ranging from super conservative republicans to very liberal democrats. Nothing good ever comes from arguing politics on FB. Why would I "call out" my friends? I'm an adult.

You people are such children.

I have friends who like Trump; I have friends who are voting for Hillary. I didn't vote for either.

I'm not bothered by them.

Why am I asking or why do I respond to their posts?

I am asking because I am curious and I began responding to their posts because they are insane/ridiculous. I have called out several completely fake, made up news stories, I have pointed out that life in the past was not actually completely great for all Americans, I have pointed out that Trump is a little bit less than trustworthy, etc.

No, but I have been calling out FB friends who support Clinton.

(Their posts are insane and ridiculous.)

Pretty annoying.

No. Why would I? Surely not going to change anyone's mind and I'm not interested in making enemies.

OP here, here's another element.

A lot of my very vocal Trump supporter friends are also very vocal Christian friends.

Their posts basically go:

Trump Jesus Trump Jesus My kid's halloween costume Trump Jesus

And something about that just really got to me, I guess.

I figure if they are posting something they don't mind the discussion.

I am OP and I do not know a single person like this. I sort of wish I did!

Many of my FB friends are doing this, but I just ignore them.

I spend more time following politics than 99 percent of those on my feed, but in 10 years I've never bothered with a political post save for one lapse in 200& quoting song lyrics that all politicians are sacks of shit.

I am OP and I do have exactly 4 posts that are pro-Clinton that I have shared this entire election.

If someone makes a comment against her I do not mind and invite the discussion.

I am a big girl and I can handle it.
