Yeah maybe it’s ok as long as the hate is towards Republicans ? Not sure their official policy .

All the more reason to not use Facebook

I hate how everything is overly politicized today. You can't even take a whizz without hearing about some sort of political BS.

Nope. I don't bother too much with FB due to all the political spam, mostly from Pro-Trumpers. I guess it depends who you have on your friend list. I have lot of Europeans on my list, and they can't believe the chaos in US.

Who cares? They're just online bumperstickers and T-shirts.

Yes! Virtue signaling on FB is out of control. Oddly enough, those that virtue signal the most are the ones who spew the most vitriol.

Live and let live. Be a good person. Stop telling people how great you are for the "likes".

I work with people affected by some of the issues that you see represented in the filters. They say they appreciate the show of support.

“I support DACA”

“Families should be together “

Etc

Sometimes I see people with public profiles that have this and that is their “professional “ Facebook page as they are realtors etc .

It’s interesting they are always 100 percent liberal or left leaning . Like you won’t see a filter saying I support our President etc .

Anybody else notice this ?
I have never seen this and I do have a lot of Democrat friends

Don't really notice it. And when I do, I don't care.
