It has been most interesting to me to see on my facebook feed that the people who support Trump are the same ones that consistently bullied me and several of my friends throughout my K-8 grade experience during the 80's. These are people that truly made going to school a horrible, horrifying experience and having reconnected with them so many years later I had hope that with the silly posturing of grade school and middle school far behind us we would have positive, intelligent relationships. Instead I see them regularly post inciteful, hateful, and bigoted positions on just about ever topic that hits our culture. Is this my microcosmic perception, or have other people encountered this same phenomena? |
What's interesting to me is that you have these people as friends on FB.

Well I'd feel a bit vindictive if I just unfriended them for having different views. I didn't know them in adulthood until they friended me back when facebook first took off amongst the masses. Many of them never post and it has just been during this political storm that so many have voiced their opinions. The correlation is unsettling and at the same time gives me an understanding of my childhood that I didn't see when I was younger.
