Update from this post yesterday: https://sh.itjust.works/post/34622756

Trumper has since scrubbed her Facebook page of all things political, including pictures of her husband in a MAGA hat. She is now claiming to never have made political posts.

Transcript:

I'm posting this not to start a debate over politics but just for a generalized statement so please do not come at me or try to start a debate. I do not nor have I ever talked politics for the sheer reason that everyone has an opinion and is absolutely entitled to that opinion; that's why we vote and I am not about to go at it with someone because our beliefs arent the same. I have recently had too many people flooding my text messages or DMs forcing their opinion. I even had one friend end our friendship because I politely stated I do not talk politics and I was not going that rabbit hole with her.

The fact of the matter is like it or not the president is who it is. I have worked for the federal government for 15 years and it is a scary thing right now. [Redacted] also military and we don't know what our jobs will look like in the future. We're rolling with things as they come out and will adjust as needed but a lot of things I receive or read from a lot of posts have somewhat taken me by surprise and do not wish to be apart of it.

I think "Everyone is entitled to their opinion" is not the rock solid axiom people think it is. Sure, you can like vanilla or chocolate ice cream. That's opinion, and not really harming anyone.

"I don't think the queers should be allowed to live" is technically an opinion, but it's a vile one, and when you act on it you're hurting people. Refusing vaccination is similar- it leads to people needlessly dying. Don't sweep these into the same category as ice cream flavors.

"You just don't like me because I have a different opinion than you."

Said all the Nazis.
