I purposely avoid expressing or sharing any opinions on facebook. I am often saddened or angry about what I see on social media, but I find it pointless to enter the fray. I’m very concerned that the proliferation of opinion through news media outlets is making it difficult for Americans to discern fact from opinion. I used to do a lesson on fact vs opinion with 7th graders and it’s now very common for libraries to teach courses in critical review of online sources. 
I just want to urge you to be educated and astute. Don’t take some talking head’s word for it — look up factual information. Refresh your understanding of civics: https://www.khanacademy.org/humanities/us-government-and-civics. Read the constitution (I’m not kidding!): https://constitutionus.com/. Read a biography of Abraham Lincoln or watch the movie (totally serious here) to refresh your memory of what a president was like during the most divisive period in our nation’s history. What can we learn from our history?
Avoid cable news, talk radio, political blogs, etc. during this extremely divisive period and seek out unbiased news. Watch C-Span for the impeachment hearings and other government proceedings to tune out the commentary and draw your own conclusions. I recommend Reuters (https://www.reuters.com/) for an online news source because it’s just the news with no sensational headlines or commentary. You can find many more unbiased information sources here: https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/center/. Dick and I watch the PBS Newshour most evenings and we find it to be more balanced and less sensational than network news, but we do detect some bias in questions, facial expressions and tone. They do present both sides of an issue in most cases.
I also urge you to stop thinking about political party affiliation, red or blue, conservative or liberal, capitalism or socialism, urban or rural, race, sexual orientation, etc. and think about what resonates with your internal compass. “Whatever is true, whatever is noble (dignified, honorable, humane), whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”
