It was probably just because of your political posts. Many people are so overwhelmed from everybody posting political rants on fb. I just scroll past those friends' posts. I posted one comment about the destruction of the old statues and people got into a war on my very benign post.

I think you wrote a nice note to your friend. I bet she'll say she's just overloaded with political stuff. But she may be afraid to even admit that, thinking you'll respond with more political opinions. So she might not tell the truth about that.

I don't even post much unless I have something funny to say or interesting. I don't get into politics. I'm often so tempted to say something obnoxious to friends' posts, but I have to stop myself.
