nope.

1. I wouldn't do such a thing because it's stupid and I want to hear other perspectives because most people who ended up voting for Trump aren't bad people and it improves my ability to come up with arguments in case we do argue about it.

2. can't really ice out my dad, am i right?

not an american and over here finding a trump supporter who is "real" is kind of like looking for an unicorn but this wouldn't help in any way.

No. Not that I have respect for them, but cutting off ties won't do a damn thing.

I didn't talk to the ones that actively embrace him beforehand (mainly because I rarely use Facebook), so no.

Most of my family likes him.  I just don't talk to them about politics. Tongue

I haven't cut off ties to any friends but I look at them differently now. Unavoidable I suppose.

I did defriend a guy on Facebook who was constantly defending Trump, but only because he was doing it in the most annoying, moderate-heroish way.

There's this one guy I knew in high school who went full "fiddle-dee-dee, are you triggered yet, cucks?" all over his Facebook whom I ended up defriending, but otherwise, no (normal, I hope).

I've muted some friends and family on FB and just really try to avoid politics when in person.

I lost a friend for other reasons, and because we're no longer FB friends I'm very glad of that in a sense because she was driving me crazy with her Trump posts all day long. I didn't realize she was that insane! (lol)

Nah. My GOP parents detest Trump and so do wife's even more GOP parents. My Trump-ish BIL clearly preferred Trump to Hillary but was pretty open about the fact that he didn't vote for either

Everybody else I know is way more liberal than me, so that's not an issue. My one former coworker who is super evangelical probably voted for him but who knows, I didn't ask

I have none. My family is latino from the Bay Area so cancer is more popular among us than Trump.
