Have you blocked or unfriended someone you knew IRL because they were voting/arguing for the opposite political party? (If you blocked them specifically for being mean, e.g. "you are an idiot", not political meanness e.g. "immigration is good/bad", then this *doesn't* count.)

I don't really block/unfriend people for supporting a different candidate. I did mute Jason though whole he was going nuts about Bloomberg, which zero regular people could actually relate to.

I find it difficult to answer this being in the middle of the political scale

I wonder if you are going to get a lot of people saying no when in practice they did block someone from the opposite political end nominally for insults but they in fact have a lower bar for blockable insults from their perceived political opponents.

I unfriended someone because her views were becoming increasingly far-left/extremist, and I was fairly Liberal at that point. I've since moved to largely center, so we'd definitely not see eye to eye now.

Yes, and I’m neither.
