I know a lot of folks disdain FB, but it is a great indicator of what people are saying/thinking/doing. My friends list represents a good cross section of America, literally. Before it was about even Left or Right. Now it is about 80-20 Right to Left..
The biggest things that seems to have swung the meter? The Obama flag, media bias, and believe it or not, the faux war on women. And all of these are fairly recent things..
one thing that has happened on my FB list is the lefties have become angrier and more deranged than usual.
It has gotten to the point where the libertarians and conservatives are so sick of it - that we/they don’t really post about politics anymore.
All it does is ignite the same ‘ole tired conversations over and over again.
So actually - my guess is that most people who remain quiet are more likely RR voters
