My Husband Supports Trump

[Anonymous]

it's actually the liberal media and lib leaders who are making Trump very popular. People are just sick of the constant lies the liberal media feeds everyone to make everyone else agree with them so when Trump tells the issues going on in a blunt manner the lib media is quick to criticize and makes him topic after topic of discussion of why he's wrong and make it sound like his supporters are buffoons when in reality they are just feeding you more lies (the lib media)

Saying you can tolerate political differences in a marriage is one thing. But this strikes at fundamental, core values. This guy is essentially Hitleresque. I actually don't see ANY redeeming value he has, period.

What's worse is that my husband is so vehement about him primarily for two reasons -- one, he admires his "strength" and "anti-PC" stances, and two, he hates Hillary Clinton in an irrational and really toxic way that exposes some misogyny he has that I never detected before we were married. I mean, I can't stand Hillary Clinton much, either, but I'm not enough of a nihilist about the differences between corporatist Democrats and corporatist Republicans to really think she's no better than them.

The irony is that he'd vote for Bernie Sanders if he was the nominee. He just hates Hillary.

I am dreading the next year. I honestly don't know if our marriage will survive.

You sound like a Nazi yourself.

Stop trolling.

OP here. I'm definitely not trolling, and I'm not actually very liberal or political. I really thought that all rational humans could agree that he could NEVER be president and that this little fad he's having is a reaction to other things instead of agreement with his insanity.

I try to avoid the topic, since I'm not into politics, but Fox news is on every morning and evening, and DH will bring it up on his own.

Just a heads up - it's never going to get better. This is my dad now. He's gotten more and more conservative as he gets older. My parents are at a point where my mother refuses to talk politics with him and he has to watch Fox News in the basement. She can't listen to that cr@p every day. I truly believe she'd leave him if he didn't follow this rule. And they are in their 70s married 50 years.

Conservatives are always the victims of evil libtards...they are just the friendliest nicest, "bless your heart" people you can imagine. They smile at you when they give you the finger, dontcha know?

Hitleresque?! - The level of stupidity on this forum is astounding. Yes, you disagree with Trump. I get it, but to paint him as a Nazi or the next Hitler is beyond the pale. Have we really reached the point in our nations story that we need to vilify anyone who doesn't agree with us?

My husband announced The Donald would be his revenge vote but his man is Ted Cruz.

Nothing could stop my love for him. Nothing. Except if he had an abortion but since that's unlikely, love grows.

When he said the above to my sister's shack up, the man nearly almost passed out. It was so funny ! He's one of those socialist bumper sticker liberals. Sometimes I think it's the only thing keeping his vehicle from falling apart. I have pictures.

If my sister or her bed partner spoke to us the way some of you post here, I'd disown both of them. Not because of their different views but because they let politics TRUMP family love. I can't have that. I'm above that. To a certain point. A point no one has ever crossed. We laugh. Life is too short.

I just sent her grocery money. Boyfriend got laid off. Again. I don't hold grudges like some of you do.

LOL! +1 will you be my new BFF?

If my sister referred to my boyfriend as my "shack up" or "bed partner" that would be the end of the relationship.

Speaking of not wanting to have a relationship with people with mean-spirited values.

It was hilarious. Lighten up. Yeesh. Some of you just suck all the fun out of life.

So, here's the weird thing -- given today's story in the WaPo about the focus group with pollster Fred Luntz, where individuals who were shown criticisms of Trump only supported him more strongly, what is the right way for OP to effectively respond to DH.

The article suggests that the more you confront Trump people with disagreements, factual errors, etc., they only becoming MORE supportive of Trump. Maybe OP should just ignore her DH's political comments not confront?

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like you respect her much, either.

Have we really reached the point in our nation's story where we are seeking out ways to "legally" discriminate against people of one specific religion, and watch without comment as one potential "leader" runs on that as a platform?

We have RETURNED TO that point in our nation's history.

People don't get - because it has passed out of living memory - that before the Depression/WW-II generation - things in this country were a lot nastier all around. Ethnic/Religious Xenophobia are absolutely nothing new.

The nice thing to remember is that, slowly but surely, we keep nudging along in the right direction - away from the politics of people like Trump.

+1. People don't remember or didn't learn our xenophobic history prior to WWI and II.

And, I am hopeful we will move away from Trump, although I never thought I'd be happy to see Cruz or Rubio's increasing poll numbers!

Boo hoo! You married a real man.

You should have married a "hillary man"
