I have a very conservative husband and I still have my name after 20+ years of marriage, he was very supporting during my abortion, he treats our daughters very well (they are apple in his eyes), and he contribute 80% toward all house work (I don't cook and I don't clean).

Then your DH is no longer really a conservative. He's what MAGA would call a RINO.

Nope, he even voted for Trump. You will be surprise how many republicans are not against abortion. I would suggest you go out and meet people instead of listening what media tells you about Republicans.

But he will continue to vote for anti-abortion politicians because MAGA! right?

I know what Rs are like. I used to be one and was surrounded by them. MAGA care more about things like taxes and border walls and sticking it to the libs, not about women's rights. The conservatives I know who couldn't stand Trump left the R party.

You really think your DH would be supportive of his wife being a progressive and working on gender equality issues? LOL. You are the one confused about what it means to be conservative.

I worked through the entire marriage and he was always supportive and supported me through the grad school. I don't work on gender equality issues and I am not progressive. But my husband was always the one to take kids to practice, doctor appointments, to cook for them and to clean when we did not have maid. He is very supportive of our daughters who both chose very male dominated careers for themselves.

that's nice, but why does he vote for politicians who want to take your DD's right to control her own body?

Do you believe that politicians have to run your life?

I don't like name calling, but a lot of conservatives had abortions. What they oppose is use of public funds for performing abortions.

then why do they support politicians who have backed over turning abortion in the red states?

And yes, a lot of conservatives have abortions but still vote for politicians who support anti-abortion laws. Such people would go to a blue state to get an abortion if they had to, but will continue supporting anti-abortion politicians.

What's the word.. hypocrites? No, I know, let's call them..."people who secretly are thankful to Dems for supporting abortion in their states but publicly deny being thankful to Dems". That's called two-faced, I think.

Conservatives only want abortion when it suits them and run to blue states to get them, but don't want to support women's rights.

You are so confused.

on the contrary, PP's conservative DH and the PP are the ones who are confused about the conservative party. Their beliefs about women's rights go counter to their party, and they would go to a blue state to get an abortion. Thank god for blue states, right?

What does “very conservative” mean?

Why does he support Trump?

Why does he think his daughters shouldn’t have control over their own bodies?

What does “very conservative” mean? - he has conservative values.

Why does he support Trump? - financial reason, we benefited financially much more during Trump presidency. Security reasons, there were much less crime under Trump presidency.

Why does he think his daughters shouldn’t have control over their own bodies? - He does not think so. My daughters have full control of their own bodies.

What are “conservative values”?

He votes for politicians who are trying - and many succeeding - to take away their bodily autonomy. He isn’t protecting them or their rights.

He comes from generations of strong independent women and he raised his daughters the same way. No one taking their bodily autonomy.

do you live under a rock, or are you just stupid? Have conservatives lost all critical thinking skills?

They shouldn't, hence, they shouldn't take away a women's right to choose her reproductive rights. Why does your DH support such politicians if you think politicians shouldn't run your life?

There is no Conservative Party.

There are Democrats and Republicans.

Some conservatives are democrats and some are Republicans.

Conservatives believe in no govt overreach and support abortion rights.
Republicans, otoh, who are currently run by theocrats, are anti abortion.
Liberals believe in women’s rights so would never vote for a rapist, but they did.

But you really can’t think of anything to do to support women’s rights than to vote one way or another? Don’t you volunteer to babysit so single moms can work or try to get people out of prisons or anything? Anything at all?

I think they are.
I volunteer at a homeless shelter pretty regularly, and nearly all of the people volunteering would describe themselves as “conservative.” A conservative believes that social responsibility is best left in the community, and is therefore more likely to financially support and volunteer at local organizations. Someone who is more liberal might believe that these are better taken on by government sponsored organizations.

For example, one thing I hear often is that people are frustrated that many of the shelters and agencies providing support to people experiencing homelessness have religious or conservative values. The conservative reaction to that criticism is, “open your own shelters!” The liberal reaction is that there should be more government funding for housing or homeless shelters.

This.

If most of the people supporting communities are liberal, then why aren’t any liberal people out there to be seen where there are people who need to be served (unless, like the OP, they are paid to be there)?

DH is a conservative. I would not say he aligns himself with the Republicans currently. He voted for Biden. I am liberal/progressive. I am religious, DH is agnostic also. I have never had any problems dating or being in a long term relationship with someone with political beliefs than me. My DH isn't some crazy anti LGBTQ or anti abortion person. He is a fiscal conservative who believes in limited government. As I've gotten older and after the pandemic, I would say I'm more of a moderate Democrat. Some of the policies are not very savvy from a business or economic perspective or as far as how the pandemic was addressed with public schools being closed for two years and the uptick in crime, the unhoused (with no solution to homelessness and housing insecurity). My DH isn't really into politics though. He is smart, well read and studies the candidates and issues. But unlike most people in DC, including me, he has never worked for a political party, a partisan office, a candidate or campaign.

My DH is a conservative! But he’s 50, Reagan is his political hero not Trump and Elon Musk and whoever else young conservatives follow these days.

I am a middle of the road Democrat. We get along really well, aside from election season when things get tense.

I support single moms with my taxes. I don't mind paying for a single mom to afford childcare so that she can work. Conservatives, oth, think such a mom should pull herself by her bootstraps, or better yet, she should've kept her legs closed, or maybe taken shlt from her husband and stay married.

I’ll stick to not voting, cheating on my taxes, and jumping the metro turnstiles. It’s great being rich and not having to GAF.
