That's what many people do. They unfriend or unfollow anyone who disagrees with them and sometimes even block so their posts can't be seen by the enemy. (Like a child with fingers in ears and yelling so as not to hear anything disagreeable.)
I actually like exercising my brain with opposing thoughts. Now, Facebook is my "friends and family meeting room" but Twitter is my debate hall. I follow many people who do things I'm interested in, have similar political views, etc. but I also follow some who I fervently disagree with because I want to know what I'm disagreeing with and occasionally I find I agree with "the other side" on an issue.
For instance, along with many conservative and libertarian voices I also follow Obama, Hillary, Chelsea, Ellen, and other political interests. I love the freedom to listen to all, disagree or ignore freely, and generally soak up information.
Try it, you just might learn something.
