My Husband Supports Trump

[Anonymous]

OTOH, maybe it's just a phase and no reason to throw your marriage away.

Calm down, relax and remember all the reasons why you married him. You may even forget about Trump for five minutes. Isn't that a blessing in itself?

We are so politically correct nowadays that kids on nearly every college campus want to re-name stuff because someone did something terrible or said something terrible years ago. So many ridiculous examples. Like Woodrow Wilson at Princeton. He was the President of the US, but now the kids don't want stuff named after him. George Washington had slaves...so then why do we have GWU? It goes on and on.

No one wants a black person to be killed by a copy for God's sake. But, now every cop is presumed to be a bigot. They can't win.

Not every Muslim is a terrorist, of course. But nearly every terrorist is a Muslim. So, Trump has a point. Not every illegal is a criminal..but some are.

So, Trump has a struck a cord on many issues. Let it pass OP. I think Cruz and Rubio are much scarier than Trump. They both seem like really scary hispanics to me.

I think that it is entirely possible that there are many white people of both genders who have been forced to confront the structural inequities and injustices that exist that have, historically, worked in their favor.

Not every cop is presumed to be a bigot, but racial profiling in police work does exist. The way to win is not to get angry and defensive when a person of color is upset about racial profiling in police work. It is to hear what those people are saying, and, if you're not a bigot, assume that they are talking about your bigot colleagues and work to change the system. Be a positive force, not a negative one.

Not every Muslim is a terrorist. Not even close to nearly every terrorist is a Muslim either. Not every undocumented immigrant is a violent criminal, and that episode of Trump's campaign should be an embarrassment to everyone who is not a bigot.

If Trump has struck a chord, it's because a large number of people in this country are very uncomfortable confronting their own privilege. Such that even suggesting that they do so is viewed as hostile. "Being politically correct" generally actually just means being respectful, not using racist or sexist language, etc. If that's difficult for your husband, that says something about him that is not good.

Cruz and Rubio are scary for a lot of reasons, but being Hispanic is hardly one of those reasons.

+1million. This is one of the most clear, concise, and truthful posts in the history of DCUM. Thank you, poster, you have renewed my hope in humanity.

-1 million. The "privilege" thing is just a plain stupid concept to justify lack of agency.

The black son of a wealthy doctor who gets into an Ivy helped by his skin color is much more privileged than the poor white in the Appalachian who doesn't even know what the Ivy League is. Much more privileged than the son of an Asian gas station attendant who can't get into any top school despite despite his incredible academic credentials. Much more privileged than the several million undocumented neighbors that our President has deported.

Yes, but the wealthy black doctor's son is still going to be the one shot at by the cops. Yes, hell of a privilege.

He is much more likely to be killed by some poorly educated black than by any cop. Especially because as an Ivy-educated person he doesn't need to curse or attack or intimidate the cops. He'll just join Jack & Jill, send his kids to private and ignore the poors while enjoying his black privilege.

Silly nitwit, who cares. Many will be voting for him, I have lot's of friends and maybe even myself.

IT'S A NON ISSUE.

I'd take that over Obama and his phony change, and personal bias he has. Hopefully Trump won't praise thugs if he's president.

Hard to think there could be much less. Besides her husband, has anyone in the country's history been more investigated?

I can't believe anyone would vote for those two. He's (Bill) a major creeper and yes they are both dirty. Bernie is waaaay too old.

OP again. When I started this thread, I had views regarding which candidates would be better than Trump (all of them), but now I'm finding all of them incredibly unlikable and/or fundamentally flawed both personally and politically. November cannot come soon enough!

Um...I'm a liberal guy, and I love my liberal women, but I am sad to say that in my personal, informal experience, conservative "ice queens" doth protest too much and are generally freaks of the first and nastiest (in the best possible way) order; most liberal chicks I've been with are a little...boring. This is especially severe if they are (or act) deeply religious - liberal religious women are dead; conservative religious women tend to be all fire-and-brimstone precisely because they've got a lot of Sodom & Gommorah fantasies playing on little screens in their minds all day.

Trump is by far the best candidate on both sides, why so many are voting for him.

He gave the left and right media a run for their money, and left their panties in a wad. There's never been a candidate that did that.

Not to mention he is against illegal immigration, entitlement people, bad economic deals we've gotten ourselves into, and so on...

Your husband is apparently a little wiser then you, be happy.

Your nonsensical post is more about mental illness. I would suggest going on one of those boards or a STD one.
