If your husband voted for Trump. are you leaving him?

I left my xH in 2019 because of Trump.

After Trump won, xH fell deep down the alt right rabbit hole. He’d watch YouTube videos all night long. It got to a point where I couldn’t have a different opinion on anything without him screaming at me “so I guess you’re one of those FEMINISTS now”. Like literally I was trying to explain to him about how when I’ve been sexually assaulted, it wasn’t because of what I was wearing, and he flipped out on me for daring to blame a man for any wrongdoing.

I recommend getting your ducks in order. Make sure you have access to the finances, know where the money is going, etc. A lot of you will be in for a very wild ride.

Using a sample size of one, you extrapolate to millions of men?

Yes. It’s better to be prepared and know what to look out for. Better to not need it, than to be completely caught off guard like I was.

Brilliant! I didn’t think I had, but here we are.

DP, and +1. He’s voted for Trump in the last three elections. 2016 and the aftermath were really hard. Not just because he voted for Trump. There was a lot more to it. At some point I made the decision that I didn’t want to be divorced and don’t plan to divorce. After this election I’m stepping back from being terminally online. It’s not helping anything.

The pt being for this thread, it’s not about Trump. It’s about getting away from the current regime. And that what the American people voted for.

That was my point…even in red states, the cities are all blue.

Blue areas also tend to be the healthiest and most well educated. There is a reason for the correlation between lower educational achievement and supporting Trump. And no I’m not just making this up, there is actual demographic support for this.

Trump serves up idiot-appealing sound bites for the people who will repeat “state’s rights!” while having no idea what the 10th amendment actually is. Then they’ll claim they can’t get ahead in life because of “DEI hires” ignoring the fact they just can’t compete once no longer placed on a pedestal (and boy are they pissed about it).

I think it is interesting that you make data - driven claims on your first point (voter educational attainment, and you’re right), but then do the opposite on your second point. Have you ever seen data on work or educational qualifications by ethnicity? Companies with DEI plans generally have to throw meritocracy out the window to hit hiring and promotion goals.

Americans turned away from the leftist agenda in this election. They don’t like the results. Trump just happened to be the name on the side, and his “warts” and all could not stop this repudiation.

Can the Dems pivot to make themselves more attractive to mainstream America? I don’t know.

I mean, they literally picked a convicted felon. It doesnt seem like it would have mattered who it was up against, a convicted criminal clown was the preferred candidate. Seems like the country just wants to vote in the gutter.

What does it tell you when democrats lose an election to a convicted felon? The majority of the people think they are worse. And I agree with them.

It seems the only things that matter to the Democratic party are LBGTIA, ESG, DEI and open borders. Most people disagree.

It tells you that republicans would rather a convict running their country than a woman.

A lot more than republicans voted for him. Indys and a fair number of democrats. And lots of women.

MIT wasn’t about her being a woman. Blame the Democratic Party for throwing up a woman who could never win as a scapegoat, making it look like women aren’t worthy when in fact the party has no leadership. Couldn’t taint a man with a loss so hung it on a woman.

-I hate trump. But she was not going to win.

He didn’t but if he did, I would. We would be fundamentally incompatible in our values and intellect.

You didn’t ask, but I’m not leaving my wife who voted for Trump.

Agreed. Clearly they see no issue with supporting rapists, why would I want to interact with, let alone SLEEP with someone who supports rape and rapists?

So you’re going to leave your husband if he watches any more professional football, right?

Yup. Voting for him in 2016 after the "grab them by the pussy" admisson? Foul.

But now, convicted of rape? If you remain married to someone who supports this... how? Do you have kids? Is that the kind of message you want to sons--that we reward criminals and rapists? Or the message to daughters? That you're basically a piece of meat and men will get rewarded if they abuse you?

Awful.

I voted for Harris but you’re missing the point that this isn’t a popularity content. You’re not voting for someone to be your friend.

I’m disgusted by Trump but I’m not so blind that I can’t see why people voted for him.

You should leave him, totally.

Poor guy, married to a crazy.

All of these political threads are the same - people want to vote for an agenda of hate and then wonder why people in their orbit don't want to spend time with them. This thread, the Thanksgiving thread, I've seen it on Reddit threads. "I voted for hate but surely that won't impact my marriage, family or friendships, right?" WRONG.

None of that is true considering the cities with the worst per capita crime rates (by far) are places like Birmingham, Memphis and a bunch of other 2nd tier southern cities.

Again, maybe just concede there are well run blue cities (67% of economic growth in the US comes from places like Seattle, San Fran, as well as Atlanta, Austin) and poorly run blue cities.

Boston is another well run city in a blue state.

Maybe just concede Dems lost this election big-time ? You don’t like my reasons, then tell me why they lost?

There is nothing overly attractive about Trump, other than his stated aversion to the leftist policies discussed above.

Please, tell me why the Dems lost ? They had perfect DEI candidate, Woman and Minority, should have won easily just on that. That tells me there were even major defections in those groups. Please tell me why ?

Uh that's probably the reason she lost. These racists/sexists want a white man, not a minority representing them

What exactly are Kamala's qualifications?

She is not elected through any primary process. She was selected first by Biden whose criteria for VP is "woman".

Then when he dropped out, instead of a proper primary process, she is anointed as the democratic pick without any competition.

What exactly did she do as a VP? Not much of substance. What is her vision? She did not lay it out.

Look I am male and voted for Kamala, because I just cannot get myself to vote for Trump. But I really glad that Trump won.

Instead of looking in the mirror, you blame the rest of the country and 51% of the population as racist and misogynistic idiots.

I think the prevalence of smart phones and instantaneous feedback has changed our brains to the point people aren’t relying on their memories to halo make decisions. They are only relying on emotion and instantaneous dopamine hits to help make choices.

This means that actual threats like trump and J6 get less weight in the decision making process than how clicking on the link of trump dressing up like a garbage man and making us laugh does.

Phones have made our lizard brain over reactive and impaired our decision making process.

Bravo! You’ve managed to (not actually) answer OPs question exactly how Kamala would!

I am looking in the mirror. How did we get here? How are we a country where 51% of people vote for the candidate of racists and misogynistic idiots?
