Social Media and Politics Don't Mix

When was the last time somebody changed your mind with a political Facebook post?
It seems to me that the majority of social media posts these days are political. Meanwhile, after hundreds of millions of political posts, I don't think a single person has ever been persuaded to change their mind, so why bother?
Chances are, at least 50% of your friends and family disagree with your political position, which means that every time you post something on Facebook, you're either preaching to the choir, or pissing people off. There is no middle ground. Anyone who already agrees with you will simply nod their head and click the like button, and the other half will just think less of you. You simply can't win.
Why not go back to the way thing were? The old days of social media were much simpler. You posted some pictures of cats, dogs, and your family vacation, and nobody got angry.
