Maybe your DH realizes that living in a constant state of panic isn't helpful. He is focusing his attention on the things he can control. I'm hoping whatever is in those tax returns will get Trump impeached and thrown out of office. |
One does not "remember" things that never were. 2 + 2 =/= 5, and never did 27% =/= 50% =/= half =/= a majority, and never did, so this is not something we can "remember" Similarly, a country lead by a man behaving this way can not by any definition of the word be called "great" now or even later. The means never justify the end. |
at the end, we will all have lost. I say this as a former R. |
I'm sure some German husband thought the same thing about Hitler. "What's the big deal... he's gonna make our country great... who cares if he's deporting a bunch of Jews..doesn't impact us".
OP - the lack of your DH's sympathy is indeed worrying. The fact that this idiot doesn't really understand our Constitution is worrying. |
NP here.
OP if it helps I'm still a little worried about President Trump and some of his actions to date, and I voted from him. Honestly he was the devil I didn't know vs the devil I did. I also didn't like President Bush or President Obama and and how they ran things, but what can you do? If you feel that strongly then what are you actually doing about it? are you analyzing impacts, and working on contingency plans of are you just sitting around yelling "NOT Fair" Good, Bad, right or wrong Mr. Trump is the President deal with it, The conservatives survived President Obama you will survive President Trump. |
This is an outright lie. Some conservatives spent the past eight years whining, making threats, trashing Obama, criticizing Michelle, and judging his children. It's silly to pretend that you all threw your hands up in defeat and meekly waited for Obama's term to end. |
I am not a Trump supporter but I don't get too worked up about things. The Republic will survive. I am not saying don't protest, don't do your thing, don't do whatever, but people are seriously going off the deep end here. If you are not attracted to your husband because he is also not going off the deep end it is hard to say what to tell you. |

Yeah but this is a new level of hysteria that was not seen after Obama got elected. I mean people are apoplectic and I would wager that for 95% of them life will change very little under Trump. |
Actually, short of SCOTUS, Republicans did throw their hands up in defeat for 8 years. That's why we have Obamacare and the Iran deal and dozens of crappy policies. No one protested, no one burned anything. |
I also kind of find it funny that people pledge support for Israel in an unquestioning manner, including many liberals, but Trump starts acting like Netanyahu and all of a sudden he is Hitler. |
I totally get how you feel OP. I was worried about Obama for 8 years. Every time he did an executive order with his pen and phone and all the bad legislation they did. But hey! We survived him. I guess we will survive Trump too! |
I disagree. The level of hysteria was comparable, depending on your "status." It may seem different because the steady access to the news and social media was not the same. |
But did you do so "quietly" as the PP suggested? No. The level of hate spewed both times Obama was elected is on par with what is happening now. Conservatives were not accepting and silent. To say they were is an outright lie, as I've already stated. |
