I need one bullshit-free area in my life, so I'm ditching everybody who can't quit bitching.

All my real friends are still gloating, the red part of my family "friends" have fallen rather silent on politics

Next time you see them, buy them a drink and inform them that you are simply returning your relationship to its "pre-facebook" status, you know, back when you didn't suspect them of being such a horse's ass. It's really better that way. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, while open asshattery removes all possibilities of that.

"There is no War on Women". I numerically listed the number of things and she has stopped talking to me since that.

One, but it was him blocking me. I don't post political things on my Facebook - however, on election night I posted for each marriage equality win. He's a homophobe and couldn't handle it. Oh well, I dont need people like that in my life.

The political disagreements among my friends tended to be between Democrats and those farther left, and they generally stayed civil.

It was pretty good to read about their despair Nov 7th.

...despite the level of passion in the argument, we always managed to keep it respectful and hate-free. I know one guy who's been silent since Tuesday, but most of my crowd was already for Obama or undecided. I know for a fact I swayed many of these.
