Plus I have some friends who will complain about the disrespectful rude stuff people post and then turn around and post something bad themselves but their things is funny- or so they say.

It really made me see people differently and like you said - it brings out the worst in people. Which really is awful, isn't it? When you consider that the election is about two men (both good men) who were running in a campaign to try and make this country better. Sad. I am SO glad it's over. Although I still expect to see random posts from Obama haters. But whatever. There were so many times I wanted to respond to people (not with an opinion, but with a comment about how crazy they were being) but just held my tongue. I decided that saying nothing was a lot better than joining the insanity around me.Kendrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17076949306429728667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998392453589309507.post-80530542694821212602012-11-08T23:00:32.164-07:002012-11-08T23:00:32.164-07:00I love everything this post chooses to be. :) Seri...I love everything this post chooses to be. :) Seriously though, enough with the post-election facebook drama! I mean sure, I believe in freedom of speech and all of that, but it doesn't mean I want to hear/read the constant vitriol from both sides. Thank you for so eloquently putting exactly what I've been observing and thinking.

I ...Oh my, everything about this I can agree with.<br /><br />I have had to hide and even unfriend several people. It just gets so sickening to hear, over and over again, how you're stupid if you don't believe this, dumb if you don't support that. There's no productivity in it, you're just being mean because someone doesn't agree with you. Facebook and twitter can really bring out the worst in people.<br /><br />But this was so refreshing to read. There ARE sane people out there!Kellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06642269008284261746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998392453589309507.post-12068543348941122172012-11-08T16:38:37.784-07:002012-11-08T16:38:37.784-07:00I'm proud to be that person that not once post...I'm proud to be that person that not once posted something about the election besides a "Oh Joe, you're so silly" comment. I find it so irritating with all the smug comments/whining that happened right after - I almost blocked some people.<br /><br />I am one of those that thinks the country could very well go to hell in a handbasket, however, I don't force my opinions on others & instead silently stock up on food storage, guns and ammo. :)Devenyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12615040846444184529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998392453589309507.post-82785151822199759822012-11-08T15:05:26.914-07:002012-11-08T15:05:26.914-07:00Reason #937 I'm glad I ditched Facebook 2 year...Reason #937 I'm glad I ditched Facebook 2 years ago! This election was so ugly...just ugly. It brought out the absolute worst in people! It's time to move on, and I hope we all can.

I sure wish he would have been the next President of The United States. I feel like someone just pulled a rug from underneath me and I landed on my already broken tailbone. I even feel like someone just backhanded me real hard against my face. I'm just glad that Granny isn't here to witness the loss! (Jenna you know what I'm talking about.) Let us all press on and not take for granted our freedoms that we would die for.

Let's move on and worry about the things that we DO have control over, and prepare our families for whatever chaos may ensue. I posted a few articles on facebook about the election, but nothing tasteless or rude. I can be relevant without being rude or obnoxious.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09791030022876359788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998392453589309507.post-44773683947221327592012-11-08T10:19:22.810-07:002012-11-08T10:19:22.810-07:00I love this post and I totally agree.

I can't even get on facebook lately because I am so dissapointed at the nasty things that people will say to their friends because they have conflicting opinions.
