I'm noticing a huge upswing in politically-charged postings on Facebook recently. Yeah, I understand that it's an election year, and for some, emotions will run high. I'm not sure what posting your views will actually accomplish, though. I don't give a damn who anyone is voting for. I won't be changing my vote simply to vote like someone I know. That would be stupid. It's no one else's opinion I'm giving inside the booth. That's what the secret ballot is all about, right? My vote, my business.
It's everyone's right, of course, to speak their minds, no matter what anyone else thinks. So, yeah, make whatever wildass claims you want, whether they're liberal or conservative. No one will stop you. I, for one, will let self-proclaimed experts say whatever the fuck they want, then vote the way I see fit.
Make good decisions, though. Don't base your opinions on what someone else says on Facebook. Remember, it's the same unmoderated forum that falsely reports deaths and virus alerts, misquotes everyone from Bill Nye to Stephen Colbert, and lures us down a million different rabbit holes every day.
Like Mark Twain said: "Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please."
Take care of each other. Everything else will work itself out
