“The Tea Party, and other conservative groups, need to get behind a “cancel your Facebook account” movement.”
Then you won’t know what your enemies are up to. There will be lots of people out there, some who know, and some who don’t. The ones who know can snicker at those who are deliberately clueless.
If they organize a demo in your area on the fly with short notice, you’ll learn of it the next day on the news, with no chance of a counter demo.
If they arrange an illegal flash fundraiser, you’ll never know.
Stay in the loop!
I cancelled my Facebook account last August, and haven’t had any trouble staying in the loop. I’m self-employed, working at home, so I’m online most of the day. My local Tea Party is very active, and I’m also somewhat active with AFP.
In fact, I’m better off without all the stupid distractions on Facebook.
