It would seem rather petty to unfriend someone based on political differences. I suppose at that rate the friendship wasn't worth much to begin with.

Normally I would agree with you, but I'm also at the point where I just can't credit people who still STILL consider him to be an acceptable candidate for POTUS.

The incredible Brexit fiasco should drive home to us all that this is not a game, not a reality TV show.

This isn't about politics, it's about humanity. It degrades us (the U.S.A. as a Nation) to have this trainwreck taken seriously as a candidate.

That's all opinion, I'm sure their opinion is just as important to them as yours is to you... I still don't think I would unfriend someone because their opinion differs from mine. Unless it was illegal or harmful to others in a real way... live and let live.

>Unless it was illegal

What if they strongly supported something illegal? Like illegal immigration?

I worded that awkwardly, I meant as long as they aren't doing anything illegal. Since an opinion is impossible to classify as illegal.
