Just deleted another FaceBook "digital friend"

She posted (in so many words):
Trump's speech tonight was an olive branch, and I'm willing to put my dislike for him behind me.
He is our President and we should give him a chance.

My knee jerk reaction was to lecture her—partly because her cover photo shows her standing on a beautiful rock surrounded by gorgeous land, and the other one is a photo of tall green pine trees. But instead, I just walked away and deleted her.

Some people forget soooooooooooooooo easily. So easily, that it's scary for the U.S.A.

Some people are so easily swayed. But it won't take long for him to fuck up again. He is selling but I'm not buying.

You can't trust a Republican—especially a two-faced, racist, misogynistic, proven liar.
Hell, he outright lied no less than 1 day ago. And now the country is supposed to believe him in his speech?

Same thing with the inaugural address, some people acted like he was saving us from the Apocalypse or something. I don't trust him with anything. He can't sustain any sort of restraint. When things are out of his control, he will lose it. Maybe his jobs program is for fact checkers because he is full of shit.

Just because your kids were on the same t-ball team last year, that doesn't make them your friends. I had built up an overload of people that were only in my friends list because of stupid reasons like that. I cut them loose every time they post stupid trump crap now. Life is too short to keep offensive people around.

troubling their minds about politics and can't really grasp that their survival depends on it. They think that ignorance by choice works with politics too with similar results. I have met quite a few of these, some are really dumb and a few are pretty smart about other things. Some complain they can't keep up with all the pettiness. It's frustrating.
