That's a bad fix. There are lots of people I like interacting with, on a normal, non-political basis, that I can't get along with politically. In normal social situations, we get along fine, because it's not normal to constantly talk about divisive political issues. But on Facebook, it's become (for many people) a norm to post endless political memes.

If I didn't want to hear anything about these people's lives, I wouldn't have friended them in the first place. I don't want to have to block all of their posts just so that I don't have to deal with their obnoxiously-expressed views.

Ultimately, I think the norm of people posting political things on Facebook will go away--or at least, the only people being obnoxiously political on Facebook will be the same people who are obnoxiously political in real life. In the mean time, it's pretty annoying.
