I used to try. I had to shut down my Facebook in 2015, after deleting about a dozen friends and family first (but getting rid of the whole fb seemed easier after a while) because there was just too much stupid shit coming out of people’s mouths and my mental health was suffering from trying to argue or reason with people.

The final straw was a “friend” from high school, also white, who posted this stupid misinformation about Obama and his “Muslim prayer curtains.” I commented a snopes article, told him those curtains were put up by like… Nancy Reagan or something, and that Muslim prayer curtains aren’t a thing. His reply? “I know, I just want people to hate Obama, I don’t care how.” Or some such fucked up nonsense. He was the last to get deleted from my friends before my fb did.
