You're not the only one sick of seeing posts about Trump on Watch Kalakal OnlineFacebook.
More than one-third of social media users are worn out by seeing political posts in their feeds, according to a new report from Pew Research Center.
Somehow, twenty percent of those polled liked seeing political posts, and 41 percent didn't feel strongly one way or the other.
The election is also pushing people to be less social on social media. Thirty-nine percent of users said they have blocked, muted or changed settings to see less from someone because of their political posts.
"Political debate and discussion is indeed a regular fact of digital life for many social media users, and some politically active users enjoy the heated discussions and opportunities for engagement that this mix of social media and politics facilitates," the Pew Center authors wrote of the report. "But a larger share expresses annoyance and aggravation at the tone and content of the political interactions they witness on these platforms."
Although the survey was released Tuesday, it was conducted in July and August —before any of the debates, before the most brutal attack ads and before you could officially endorse a candidate on Facebook. So who knows how many people would say they were sick of seeing Facebook rants by now?
The Pew Center surveyed about 4,500 US adult Facebook and Twitter users.
Fifty-nine percent of those users said they found social media interactions with people of opposing political viewpoints to be stressful and frustrating.
Compared to real-life discussions, people said social media political exchanges were less respectful and less likely to come to a resolution. For 39 percent of survey respondents, however, the online exchanges were just "more of the same" of what they see elsewhere.

People took practical steps to solve these problems in their digital lives.
Eighty-three percent of respondents said that when their friends post something they disagree with politically they try to ignore it. Men were slightly more likely than women to say that they respond to posts they disagree with instead of ignoring them.
If only the Pew Center could ask those 4,500 people again, two weeks before election day.
