Same thing happened to me on Facebook. A musician acquaintance posted nothing but Obama loving and, even more frequently, conservative bashing posts. Oh, he also has four degrees and is a college professor.
I would post my “thoughtful” dissenting comments and he, even at age 52, would come back with “you’re insane” type comments, as would many of his friends. I also got a lot of likes. :-)
One day I complimented him on showing real character by not unfriending me. It was pre-emptive, of course, but it worked. As time went on, his attacks on my and my posts got worse and worse. The name calling was unbelieveable. I don’t think he was used to arguing this stuff with people other than his students - people who have experinced life, know what they are talking about, and can articulate it well, and strongly disagree with him.
I got more and more likes as his inner circle joined the fray, using his tactics: name calling and insults, but no real arguments.
He finally unfriended me and when I messaged him, complimenting him on keeping me around for so long, but also throwing in my own zing: He was demonstrating the old axiom that age comes with wisdom, but sometimes age comes alone.
He came back with a response in which you could almost see the spittle flying from his mouth, mentioning all his degrees and his age, etc. It was funny, but also sad.
So I’m sure his facebook page is back to it’s old circle jerk days. And that is where liberals tend to be happiest.
Over education substitutes arcane knowledge for common sense and practical skills. This often leads to an artificially inflated sense of self worth.
Their value in society is only maintained if everyone keeps playing the game and the thin veneer of civilization is maintained. Once the feces hit the fan, most of their arcane knowledge wont buy them a cup of soup.
I checked her out and she describes herself as a Liberal - favorite author Christopher Hitchens; favorite quote "God is NOT great".
No thanks, Hillary, we will not be "friends"
Incidentally I discovered that I had a listing - or whatever they call it - which gave my date of birth; marital status; religious persuasion and political affiliation. None of that information came from me.
I removed as much as I could and now see "'Churchillspirit' has changed her religious views."
