Why are right wingers so quick to unfriend liberals on Facebook?

[TexasCPA]

My brother got unfriended today because he posted an opinion on the worst presidents ever. Number one on his list was Bush Jr. One of his now ex-friends called him a moron and unfriended him. Right wingers love to post their crap on Facebook, but freak out when someone disagrees with it. Liberals tend to be more tolerant of differing opinions though.

1. I dunno, lately when even life-long friends post Romney crap

I unsubscribe.

2. Because they live in a bubble of unchallenged bigotry.

Your brother should consider it a badge of honor.

Nice way to cull the Christmas card list, at any rate.

3. Because they want intellectual isolation?

They're generally not interested in having any sort of debate or discussion on the subject. They're right, you're wrong, end of story and if you keep talking they're just going to ignore / scream over / attack you.

4. Because they can't stand having the truth shown

to them. Out of site out of mind

5. I'm quick with the trigger myself

Though I will use the hide and unsubscribe functions first. Back in August I identified about 15 potential sources of annoyance and promptly hid all of them. Problem solved.

6. They can't handle the truth. plain and simple.

7. Because they are assholic fools n/t

8. Cognitive dissonance

When you live in an artificial reality bubble, anything outside it becomes painful to confront.

The problem is that reality itself has a liberal bias, so as reality continues to intrude into that little bubble, the pain is going to become unbearable. Some will wake up, some will crack up, and some will go postal.

They're just trying to reduce the pain any way they can.

10. I was unfriended by someone

11. I altered the settings on one

Of myFB friends (well actually a couple but right now talking about this one case) last night. He was posting crap about Obama and I did not want to read about it. I did not remove him as a friend but I fixed it do I don't have to read all that crap he posts about the election.

12. I block people who post Romney crap

Don't need it in that forum.
