Trump supporters on Facebook have gotten quiet.

First they were jubilant when Trump was declared the winner. Then they got angry about the anti-Trump protests after he took office and they called for civility and to give Trump a chance.

Now it's crickets.

Anyone else notice this?

I too noticed that they went quiet. Most of them still are, but a few seem to have decided to publicly support him again. Like one last attempt to rationalize their vote.

Typically, they'll find something vaguely supportive of him, or a boilerplate insult to liberals.

I'm hoping to have any Trumpsters unfollow me. Probably working.

So I'm not going to hear from them, and I probably unfollowed 80 percent of them anyway.

A vote for Clinton would have been a vote not only for a Democrat but also for more establishment-politics!

They just had to vote for Trump!

I removed pretty much all traces of them. And I am sure people have unfriended me. Or, I hope so, anyways.
