Suppose somebody is pretty stable for a while. They don't generally talk politics, and they post pictures of their family on Facebook.

Then, during 2020, they talk about literally nothing else but politics. They go pretty hardcore in one direction, and there's no mention of their family during that time.

Their last post is on Inauguration Day, and then they go silent.

Today is their birthday. Some of their friends have posted; they haven't liked any of the posts.

What would you think had happened?

Possibly just a sore loser?

Yeah. I knew a few people who basically rage quit social media during this election. Although I will say it's uncommon to have it happen without seeing a big ol' post explaining in detail why they're leaving.

I was hoping to leave out details, but they were actually anti-Trump. It got to a point near the end where they wanted measures taken against the 74 million people who voted for him.

They're my age, so it's more likely they'd leave Facebook. The whole thing reeks to me, because it was a sudden onset; there are pictures of their family, no politics, and suddenly a solid year of nothing but politics. I checked their album and the last family picture was from 2019.

I've got some pretty left-leaning colleagues from work as Facebook friends, and they sometimes mention their friends, pets, or hobbies. I've got family members who'd post pictures of their kids doing something or another in or around their homes. It's not unreasonable to expect someone who normally posted about their family to mention them at least once over the course of a year.

What I'm saying is that this was a radical shift in behavior. I'm a little concerned.
