I don’t get it. When people that in friends with post something I don’t agree with I just scroll by. I post a few things where I was angry about cancellations and I feel this lockdown is more about control and my friends texts me to tell me her husband and daughter are upset by my posts. She had to talk them down. They no longer want to associate with me. Over a few FB posts? It’s so disheartening. Some of them post they wish republicans get the virus....it’s annoying but I would never be triggered.
I've not lost any friends over this. Honestly, first of all, my social circle is nearly entirely Republican based on where I'm from and where I've lived and who my family is, so there were never many Democrats to begin with.
In the past they've already unfriended me over posts about illegal immigration, abortion, and gay marriage and those were people I met in college from other states. I really don't know a single non-black person in Louisiana or West Virginia who would stop being friends over someone being conservative or pro-Trump because in that case they would be left with zero friends and probably will have to disown their family. Here in the South, outside the black community, we don't talk about the crazy Trump supporting family member, we talk about the crazy insane liberal in the family....
I'm actually more open minded that people think, I don't mind being friends with a liberal if they don't impose their views on me, the only situation is something extreme, like I really would unfriend someone if they actually worked for Planned Parenthood or took a job in an abortion clinic or actively assisted in illegal immigration.
Having said this, I'm kind of quiet on the Chinese Virus compared to other issues since I also work in health care. Most of my family and friends in other fields totally are against wearing masks, etc and I also don't think they should be mandatory, but I actually do support our liberal governor's stay at home order though it probably doesn't need to be statewide since the rural parishes should be exempt. But among my friends it does seem like whether you wear a mask or not shows if you are pro-Trump or anti-Trump. I can personally believe in masks and social distancing without believing it should be dictated by the government.

Wow, she had to talk them down? Wishing republicans get the virus?
They don't sound like nice people anyway. Especially when they wish the virus on republicans. No one should wish it on anyone, left or right.

Losing a Facebook friend? Is that like losing Monopoly money?

Sounds like they weren't really friends to begin with.
Facebook, and much of Social Media is a cesspool. There is no reason to participate in that crap. Set up your own contact list of people in which you want to keep up and if you must take selfies of you on the toilet, then share them that way.

Just an FYI, liberals and/or Democrats have been brainwashed to believe that conservatives and/or Republicans are actually evil people. The mainstream media and Hollywood have convinced them of this.
Of course the opposite of this is that we believe liberals and/or Democrats are bleeding-hearted morons, so there's that.
Piece of advice, don't put anything political of FB and block the liberal morons who put things on FB as well.
Never unfriended people in life or on social media about their politics.
