Right after I did that, I lost nearly 500 followers ... or so, I honestly don’t remember. I was shocked at how many followers became annoyed with exactly what many of us were thinking.

Need I say, I learned the hard way to KEEP MY POLITICAL OPINIONS to myself!

Now I tweet things like the following image:

Politics is very polarizing. Some other topics have the same effect as well. It is important to stay positive and present your business in the most non-confrontational way.

Well said Janice, Thank YOU!
