No one's opinion was ever changed from a social media post and I let that dictate my actions. I generally ignore them all - both ones I agree with and ones I do not. For those people on my social media pages who post incessant political posts, I will generally unfollow (e.g. not see on my timeline) but not unfriend. No need to cause issues over something stupid like political posts on social media.
Yes, I have unfollowed many people as a result of these posts.
Why would anybody comment on identifiable social media?
I'd just make a Fakebook account to comment but I despise those who post political inflammatory post but as soon as I make a rebuttal, they get all upset.
Hey, if you don't want people to comment, don't freaking post it on a public social media!
I never comment, but I've seen people on social media where if you disagree with them, it turns into a 50 comment thread.
I'm a firm believer that Facebook influences the election, especially with these short 2 min clips on pages like Occupy Democrats which get shared around and spread false information.
The one I saw recently was comparing Trump rallies to the black 1950s rallies when the footage is obviously edited to make Trump look like a racist pig, but for the normal millennial with the brain span of someone who loves reading click bait articles on BuzzFeed, that really brainwashed many people that I know. But if you try to explain how badly the clip is edited, they get mad and throw a tantrum. So I let them stay in their little bubble of a world, and don't bother commenting.
I never post anything political and do not comment on political postings. Since this past summer I have "unfollowed" several people including family that seem obsessed with politics. I check back every couple of months but they are still at it.

The rabbi at my synagogue made an extensive post about the election right after the results became known. I responded with a post mostly supporting his position. When I got to Temple on Saturday morning one of my friends, Franklin, was talking to someone else. I tried to avoid him since I knew he wouldn't be happy with either the Rabbi's or my post. He interrupted himself to say, "JBGUSA, as usual beautifully written but what you wrote is thoroughly deplorable." I responded "friendship should be lost over this. It's an election." He cut me off and said "it's over," referring to our being friends. We've since partially mended fences but eventually I'm going to tell him no one calls me out in public, and to take that behind closed doors or a phone call.

Yeah, it's sad. I've had friends delete me based on me liking one a picture making fun of the media in regards to how they treat Trump. To which I say, we were never friends in the first place.
