Angry political posts

I met some people years ago at a running group and we would hang out for drinks. I have not seen some of them for about 5 to 6 years, lockdown had an impact. I am getting fed up of them posting political articles and getting angry if anyone has the opposite view. They also condone violence. I understand everyone has their views but they insult anyone who questions them. Do you keep or delete people like this? It seems most of their posts are negative politics. I hate negative people. It is hard to like angry intimidating people.

Get rid of Facebook. You'll be much happier.

Delete them. My mantra is that if someone doesn’t add positivity to your life, then cut them off.

I defeated quite a few people off FB during and after lockdown and I don’t miss any of turn

What do you mean they condone violence? You mean they're extremists?

Can't you mute them?

Delete them.

Delete them from your social media and block. They’re not really friends any more if you don’t see them and the only contact is their public political rants. What do they add to your life? Nothing, only annoyance. Bin them off. I’m surprised you haven’t done it already actually.

Thanks for the replies. I will be deleting these people today. The hatred just shows their character. They are unstable.

I don't understand why you couldn't come to this decision on your own?

I just wondered if others delete people that was all. I know I can unfollow the but keeping them means the problem is still there.
