I had a friend whose posts were growing increasingly political,
and skewing in a way that bothered me. I just blocked her
posts, although I still see when she responds to other friends'
posts (where she is never political). It has worked out great
for me. No offense. In fact, I doubt she would ever know that
I did that. Also, none of our mutual friends had to put up with
any unpleasantness as well.

These are the same people who refuse to unfollow anyone because
they like to see their dog/cat/kid pictures, they just don't
want the politics.
Meh. My MIL's page got too political so I unfollowed her. If she
asks if I saw XYZ cute thing on her page I say no but I'll have
to check it out.

I'd just ignore her, as her request is unreasonable and her
threat is a play for attention and getting her own way. If you
want to stay in touch with her, let her know you'd like her
contact info so you can do so.

I get really tired of the political posts on FB too (from both
sides). If someone is particularly vitriolic or prolific, I'll
unfollow. Otherwise, I just scroll on by. I recently joined
some high-volume "fun" groups, so I tend to see those posts
more.

Thank you everyone, I was afraid I was being the unreasonable
one.
I'm glad I employed Scritzy's Coke Rule before I responded to
her flounce, so I'm just going to let it go and guess she's
having a bad day.

I hope it helped to have other people join you in the
eye-rolling!

It did! Many thanks to you and everyone else. Today I'm in a
much better frame of mind.

I suggested my SIL hide my FB posts when she messaged me saying
she didn't like seeing anything about homosexuality on my FB
posts. That I should not be "sending" any (I wasn't, I just
sometimes post things that support LGBT). She said stuff like
that shouldn't come from her Christian friends (she's VERY
conservative). Well, she didn't want to hide my posts, she
wanted me to not post anything like that. ::) ::)

I hope you told her that what you post is up to you, and that
not everyone shares the same values.

I have a FB friend who shares posts from high kill shelters in
other states, not near us, lots and lots of them. I just block
the posts. Clears up my feed.
She needs to just block the posts or get off FB.
