10. This crap is all over FB, but I've also seen a lot of liberal and anti-Trumper posts

I'm taking a break from Facebook until after the election, for a number of reasons. However it's not all right-wingers on there, and it's not all trolls. I have seen lots of liberal/progressive and anti-Trump stuff on there too. Most of my FB friends are progressive liberals with a few exceptions.

Just sayin'
