Interested
in annoying your friends on Facebook? Its not too hard and I have
one technique that works pretty darn well. You just take some
controversial political issue and insist that whatever is being
advocated for one group also be applied to them. This not only
annoys the advocates of whatever it is we are talking about, it seems
to annoy everyone. Its easy.
For
example, although I have very few friends who admit to being a
supporter of Trump, my friends have friends who are. It might seem
impossible that this could be true even 120 or so days into the Trump
disaster, but it is a fact of our times that most of Trump's base is
standing by their man.
So
a friend of a friend, a woman whom I dont know, made it very clear
that not only does she support Trump as president, she thinks that he
has been *wonderful*.
So
I simply suggested that I hoped that she would experience what she is
advocating for other people. That she be the victim of sexual abuse,
that she lose her health care, that her children (if she has any) are
forced to drink polluted water, that someone she knows is shot by a
mentally ill maniac with an assault weapon, and most of all, that she
be impoverished and get to know what it is to be poor in America.
I
was accused of being “as bad as a right winger” and so I
gleefully blocked those people.
When
you try to harm other people, how could you possibly be
upset if you are subjected to the same treatment?
I, of course, will work as hard as I can to see that no one is treated
that way, but in the case of those who are working to destroy America
it would only be just, it seems to me, for them to experience their
own policies.
