Ah yes, it's election season. And we are experiencing one of the most acrimonious presidential elections in recent history.
There's nothing wrong with expressing one's opinion of your favorite or least favorite candidate. However, this year it seems the troglodytes have come out of their caves to sling s*** on everyone in sight.
My remaining family relatives are among those who post and repost items on social media that have been proven false or mostly false long ago. But on the Internet, fictitious items are immortal. Some of what they share is sad. Some is downright tasteless. They are political conservatives. I am a flaming liberal.
I rarely if ever comment on their postings. I don't want to create ill feelings. Although, it apparently doesn't seem to enter their minds that they might be stirring ill thoughts.
Do I dare comment? Share the link to PolitiFact that disproves their lame re-recycled postings? Reveal to all my relations that I am not only a political liberal, but an atheist, and have two (count 'em, two!) tattoos? Do I let them know that I feel lonelier at family reunions than I do sitting home alone with the dog and a book?
Probably not. It's not like either of us will change our viewpoints. Just keep scrolling past their lame brained posts and roll my eyes.
