(10,300 posts)54. Almost everyone on my Facebook is pretty liberal.
My old classmates (who had parents who were mainly Republican) went to college and changed to being more liberal so they all post anti-Trump things. Those who havent pretty much hide it. I went to a very liberal college and was a social worker - so other than my current neighbors almost everyone I have as a friend there are posting anti-Trump stuff or they like it. I post a lot of political stuff too. Ive only been de-friended by a few people. I am interested in animals/wildlife and the environment so I get a ton of stuff from that. I do get a lot of ads but thats because Im interested in fitness. Facebook has pretty much figured me out with their algorithms so I dont get how so many people are getting the crap.

It was just one example. Their responses were probably based on multiple choices in some beta format.

I don't believe it was an 'automatic' payment--- now I very vaguely recall filing a 'claim' for it
