I also have a couple friends who whenever they post something political have some nutjobs come into their comments and shit all over them. I don't understand how they stay friends with these people.
Yeah, I think the groundwork for my rage flareup was laid last night, when I saw a really heartfelt thing on my timeline from a woman who miscarried and then had to fight with the insurance company about how the follow-up D&C needed to be covered, and how she then had some cancer-like growths that were surgically removed, and she was now fine, but how if those growths ever came back, she was going to end up bankrupt because just that surgery cost $80K.
And after this incredibly moving, incredibly personal post (which I'll admit to being super sensitive to because hey, babies, hey spouse with cancer), the VERY FIRST COMMENT to the post was apparently a friend who was literally like 'don't worry ur blessed and the senate will never pass the bill lol'
I wish I was exaggerating the shittiness of the comment for comedic effect, but I'm not. And I think that was even helpfully meant, but oh boy, I think I need to not be on facebook. Finally, a social media platform more enraging than Tumblr!
