It went on. I reported the post to Facebook, and as of this writing, it's still there. That's Mark Zuckerberg's problem now, because I've blocked the poster. But it was important for me to not simply shake my head as I used to do and move on, narrowing my group of friends to those with whom I could share photos of my sweet black Labs and funny anecdotes from my family along with political essays and ruminations. I've resigned myself, ruefully, to the realization that this political and social climate is choosing for me, without my permission, the comfortable echo chamber, where even though I hear kindred thoughts, I miss some of the kindred spirits who didn't share them. In other words, I am becoming increasingly isolated from liberal ideas because it is much harder these days to have a civil conversation.
