People who end relationships over MAGA

[Anonymous]

If you are someone who has ended a relationship over someone being MAGA can you explain why? How do you think things will be made better by doing this? By doing this do you think the person will reflect on their views?

This is a genuine question that I’m curious about.

It’s nobody’s job to devote their time and energy to fixing someone and I am guessing you would say that you don’t need to be fixed anyway. So why do you care?

I have a friend who divorced her husband over his views, quite a few years ago now. It was like he’d developed mental illness and couldn’t see reality. I think she felt like his judgement was broken. I’m sure there were cracks in the marriage already but that was what took it over the edge. She seems happy and has re-partnered since, with a guy who, sort of surprisingly, is conservative though not MAGA/delusional.

Maybe because you have enough self-respect not to involve yourself with a person whose views you find morally repellent?

For the same reason nearly all relationships end- the people in it are no longer compatible.

It isn't that deep.

Many….

One told me she hope our atheist friends kids become disasters so she can prove that raising kids with faith was the right decision

One told me that 12 yo pregnant with their father’s kid should have the baby. My H convicts these men by collecting fetal tissue from the abortion and she said he will go to hell for that.

One told me her own child was a sin and she listened to a podcast on why he was going to hell while he was in the car. He came to my house to cry.

My friends husband told me he hoped I got DOGE’d so he could stop paying enormous taxes. I’m still friends with her but refuse to see her H. I use to help take care of him so she could get a break, he was paralyzed in an accident.

My moms caretaker was fired for telling her kids go to school one gender and come home another gender and an immigrant (her parents were born in Thailand) might kill her do lock her door.

That’s a small sample. I’m Catholic so know tons of Trumpers.

I don’t want to be around racists. They don’t deserve my time.

that’s how I feel about abortion

They are part of a group that promotes evil. I couldn’t condone that. I also don’t want the black mark on me for history, being associated with maga.

Why would I want to have a relationship with someone that I can’t respect?

Let’s define what you mean when you say “over MAGA.”

MAGA is a code phrase for:
-White supremacy
-Prioritizing the wants of billionaires and the wealthy over the needs of the working class and those who are living in poverty
-Being absolutely OK with trashing the Constitution and rule of law if you agree with the outcome
-Being absolutely OK with sending existing military in harm’s way with no clear purpose or plan, and no approval from Congress, and being absolutely OK with a future draft
-Misogyny
-Tanking the economy with tariffs, tax cuts for corporations and billionaires, and an immoral war
-The list goes on

So it’s not over “Make America Great Again,” it’s over all those things. And anyone with two brain cells and half a heart is OK with exactly none of those things.

I have MAGA relatives I love because I’ve known them and locked them for decades before MAGA was a thing (and they largely don’t discuss politics) but barring that kind of past history, I don’t want to spend a ton of time and be emotionally involved with people whose views are incompatible with mine. Not to mention having repeated conversations I find unpleasant isn’t how I want to spend my time. I don’t think anyone breaks with a MAGA (or any other views you don’t like) person to change them. It’s for their own peace of mind and enjoyment.
