Ever had a shocking experience from a liberal ‘friend’ on Facebook?
American Thinker:
Had a shocking, slap-in-the-face, experience this morning.
Last night, I happened to add a few new FB friends. Among them was one — let’s call him Dick — he and I had attended the same schools in the same years for high school and college. More of an acquaintance than a friend. By all appearances, extremely successful and intelligent, a high achiever in his field.
I visited his page and found it to be chock-full of Trump-hatred. Nothing unusual about that, especially in Massachusetts. One thread was castigating Trump for seeking to eliminate Obamacare.
I pointed out that a couple nearing 65 and earning $65,000 would be paying the full-boat Obamacare price of $20,000 per year, that many people needed to mortgage their homes to pay the costs, and that many people had lost their homes because of the costs. This makes Obamacare a highly regressive tax. Totally factual, no invective whatsoever. Oh, no, said Dick, you’re way off, not even close. Dick, I do taxes for some folks and I have seen it with my own eyes. TurboTax it, and you’ll see. No way, says Dick. more
My only child recently blocked everyone on my side of the family. She can’t block me, as I’m not on FB or Twitter, so I can still pull up what she’s up to, at least on Twitter.
Gone totally off the rails, maybe turned lesbian, certainly a Trump hater and Sanders/Warren fan. Perhaps the most painful thing to happen to me ever.
SPOILER ALERT: this is how the article ends – “Is this where the liberals are headed? Facts and reason are irrelevant? They want what they want, and reality and the rest of us be damned? We either kowtow to the liberal-Marxist-progressive-socialist-Democrat agenda or become non-persons? Down the memory hole? Have they lost the ability to engage as responsible participants in the civil society? If one side throws a tantrum and refuses to act as normal adults, how can our nation continue to function? The liberals have lost it. This will not end well.”
Umm…if you have to ask, you’re the last one to wake up to that fact.
I got kicked off of a poetry website’s blog for continually posting irrefutable facts that contradicted liberal propaganda and fake news. At first, the other bloggers argued with me vociferously. When it became evident that were never going to wins the debates,they blocked and banned me from the same website that had published my poetry and continued to feature it. Oh well,they are Ostriches who prefer to bury their heads in the sand.
Liberals are like a guilty dog that refuses to look at what he did.
“If I just don’t look at it, it never happened”
Unlike the dog tho, they can wipe it out on Social Media!
They just leave it on the sidewalk and walk away.
I’ve quit arguing with libs about guns. They won’t listen to reason or facts. All I tell them now is “Come get it”
This has happened to me more than once.
I was communicating with one of my State Reps, let’s call him Chris Kessler, because that’s his name. I was sending him proof from Chief of Maine Border Patrol Owens that the foreign freeloaders from Africa are here illegally. He told me I should feel privileged because he doesn’t usually Messenger live with constituents and then when I had completely proved him wrong he called me ignorant and a hater and blocked me.
That’s the go to for libtards. Call you a hater and then block you. Facts don’t matter.
Or they get friends and fellow leftists to try to rebut you. Like Victoria Morales. Then ask you to go have coffee so what they say won’t be heard publicly.
Some relatives who think they are socialists have unfriended me.
Funny cuz they make a couple hundred thousand a year and travel the world and aren’t giving the 90% tax rate they want from others or giving it to the needy.
They’re fact deficient.
Facebook is the voice of a 12 year old girl. To be on it you must be a “Dick”

“SPOILER ALERT: this is how the article ends – “Is this where the liberals are headed? Facts and reason are irrelevant? ”
…THIS is where it’s headed, and it’s GOING to happen, in God’s good time…
“16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.”
-Revelation 13:16-18
…Facebook is just where it BEGINS, not where it ENDS…
This scenario has played out dozens of times on my Facebook… Because of my interests, I was friends with at one time 1,800 some people. A recent check that number dropped to some 1,400…
Many self purged
While I don’t get political on my page because of my profession.. I will comment on friends posts when they throw out their low hanging fruit…
After a few requests for facts to back up their position and a few rants from their other moonbat friends that are also devoid of factual information thread is deleted, I’m defriended, and blocked…
Wash, rinse, repeat
Beachmom, Chris Kessler can’t block you. A Federal appeals court ruled that Trump couldn’t block on Twitter those who disagreed with him because it was silencing their speech. Your local rep can’t block you for the same reason. You should point this out to him. https://nypost.com/2019/07/09/us-court-rules-trump-cant-block-critics-on-twitter/
Hell, the easiest way to get banned from posting comments in most newspapers is to post facts supported by data and then refuse to back down when opposed by hysterical feelings driven nonsense

…all laws now come with an asterisk…

Once upon a time Lazlo was on Facebook
All the Ex girlfriends would show up and say hi and would comment of photos.
Lazlo posted a photo of Mr. Trump hugging the US flag
Blocked, unfriended, fini.
Worked like a charm.
It is more sinister than their simply hiding from the truth.
This is withdrawal of recognition of those they need to dehumanize, those who are going on their enemies list.
The MSM has been successful in warping truth about those who oppose the left and what we are seeing is the results.
Balkanization is starting, people are being broken into tribal factions and if you look at history; we are being
manipulated further every day into civil unrest and
very possibly the disolution of America.
If Trump wins in 2020, the already hate crazy left will
become ever more violent. That’s when those on their
“lists” will be in real danger.
Years ago a friend showed me a picture of her daughter’s first doo-doo in her potty chair she had posted to FB. That convinced me never to go near FB ever again. It’s worthless.
Obamacare wasn’t designed to be loved by anybody. It’s purpose was to be a problem that had to be fixed with full blown gruberment heath care, AKA “VA for All”.
@TWP
Exactly
When the government fully controls your healthcare……
They fully control you.
I once sent a fishing buddy a link to one of Ann Coulter’s funnier articles, skewering Obamacare. On all our fishing outings together if we talked politics he was clearly Republican. But within minutes of sending him the article he sent me one of the nastiest, meanest emails I’ve ever received. He tore into her and tore into me for sending it. He’s a quack so maybe he liked Obamacare and din’t like those attacking it? Whatevirrrr…..
I replied “no problem. Won’t send you any more emails.” All I got was dead silence. Then years later he tracks me down online after I’d moved to another state, with the sonofabitch inviting himself to go fishing on my boat. He didn’t know that I’d moved a few years before. I replied, “sold boat. I moved from Fla 5 years ago.”
Happily, I haven’t heard a damn thing since then.
p.s. this guy was clueless about fishing. Said he’d been fishing 30 years but really he’d been fishing one year repeated 30 times.
I have liberal friends on FB, mainly from high school. If they get political from time to time I just ignore it and move on. There are a few friends whose every post was how rotten Trump is. In those cases I have hidden their posts.
