Update from this post yesterday: https://sh.itjust.works/post/34622756
Trumper has since scrubbed her Facebook page of all things political, including pictures of her husband in a MAGA hat. She is now claiming to never have made political posts.

I’m posting this not to start a debate over politics but just for a generalized statement so please do not come at me or try to start a debate. I do not nor have I ever talked politics for the sheer reason that everyone has an opinion and is absolutely entitled to that opinion; that’s why we vote and I am not about to go at it with someone because our beliefs arent the same. I have recently had too many people flooding my text messages or DMs forcing their opinion. I even had one friend end our friendship because I politely stated I do not talk politics and I was not going that rabbit hole with her.
The fact of the matter is like it or not the president is who it is. I have worked for the federal government for 15 years and it is a scary thing right now. [Redacted] also military and we don’t know what our jobs will look like in the future. We’re rolling with things as they come out and will adjust as needed but a lot of things I receive or read from a lot of posts have somewhat taken me by surprise and do not wish to be apart of it.
“This is not political”
These people understand nothing
Conservatives pull that out whenever they are about to go against Trump. They think their opinion will have more weight with other conservatives if they sound less political.
Really? I tend to see this most often when someone says dumb shit they know is indefensible so they can justify not replying
“This is not political”
(Not a response to you lol)
My friend in Talos, everything is political. Saying “X is not political” says that you’re privileged enough to not see how X is political.
Votes for Hitler. Everyone is entitled to vote it is what it is. Noone is entitled to criticise anyone for voting for Hitler, I am completely innocent no matter what Hitler does. You have to still sympathise with me because the Hitler I knew about and still voted for hurt me. /s
She absolutely said some shit to the “rabbit hole” friend before dismissing her (almost certainly valid) criticism with that “I don’t talk politics” shit.
I think “Everyone is entitled to their opinion” is not the rock solid axiom people think it is. Sure, you can like vanilla or chocolate ice cream. That’s opinion, and not really harming anyone.
“I don’t think the queers should be allowed to live” is technically an opinion, but it’s a vile one, and when you act on it you’re hurting people. Refusing vaccination is similar- it leads to people needlessly dying. Don’t sweep these into the same category as ice cream flavors.
“You just don’t like me because I have a different opinion than you.”
Said all the Nazis.
Nobody can keep themselves out of politics. It just doesn’t work that way, because politics works its way into your life wherever you go. You can choose not talk about it, which is typically an endorsement of the status quo, and that in itself is a clear political message that you’re sending to people around you.
“I made an incredibly stupid political mistake that people warned me repeatedly not to make and it backfired and hurt me personally so now I’m going to pretend I’ve never been into politics to try to save face.”
Fucking loser. I hope they suffer.
