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.
Who brainwashed you to call everyone who doesn't think like you a moron.

I may not agree with your politics but I would never call you a moron because you have different views.

One of my cousins often posts anti-Trump propaganda. She was fb friends with my daughter until DD disagreed with her, and was immediately unfriended. I don't ever post or respond to political items posted by friends, no matter how much I might disagree with them. They are entitled to their opinions even though at times I think they go overboard spewing political vitriol.

I use facebook to keep up with friends and family, and to share news or to be entertained. I have had to unfollow several people not because of their political views, but because they flood my news feed with selfies, stupid memes and relationship quotes. It kind of makes me sad that I miss something that may be important, but I get tired of scrolling through garbage to get to something worth reading.

I unfriended someone on Facebook when he was still going out to nightclubs in early March, before everything had been shut down but it was obvious this pandemic was going to be a real problem. I don't want to even be FB friends with someone so selfish and stupid.

This lockdown is absolutely about control and social media brings out the worst in people. We now live in a society where if you don't agree with someone/something you shout on social media to have them banned, canceled, censored, etc. The trigger-happy/speech police cult that resides on social media 24/7 has caused intellectual thought and curiosity to regress by decades. These individuals cannot think for themselves and only parrot what their media masters have seeded in them.

Wow, you showed him!!!

I can't think of anything worse than being "defriended" on social media.
