Dating a conservative

[Anonymous]

I think this thread has jumped the shark but I'll just dip in to say you can get all the "traditional masculinity" tailgating/lawnmowing/whatever else was on that 'I love crumbs' list upthread with little to none of the "batshit voting record" if you just cross white guys off your dating bingo card. Give it a try, OP. It worked for me! DH is more conservative than I am (with a small c) but the GOP doesn't want him and he doesn't want them either. No Fox/OAN indoctrination to guard against, just boring Joe Rogan podcast reports from time to time.

I am saying this factually: the pool of men who are not white who’ve A) never been incarcerated and B) will be allowed by their family to marry you is minuscule.

Most the time but not always. He’s very thoughtful about his vote. So am I. I’ve voted for republicans when I thought it made sense.

Ok. Well then he is screwing over my daughters, sorry.

I doubt any of his vote “screwed over your daughter”. You have a very short memory if you think that. Also I hope your daughter is not one of the many sexually assaulted/harassed by democrats.

Also “talking about caring gif otters kids” how are you feeling about private jails… thanks Clinton.

No way we will be distracted from the disaster that is over turning roe. That is a fundamental assault on one of the most critical rights the citizens of this country used to hold. This fight is on and you are in or you are out.

That's not factual, but it is super racist, so good for you! Given you cannot even read to realize that I am married to a [never incarcerated, wtf] POC whose family loves me to piece and vice versa, I shouldn't be shocked by the stupidity of this post. But if the goal was to point out another way that white men are undesirable by showcasing your racism: achieved.

However, if you saw him you’d think he was coming from a Trump rally. He is a pipefitter, tall and fat, and wears work boots, a flannel and sun-dried loose jeans everywhere. He drives a pickup truck.

My mother has always been much more strictly religious and is anti-abortion. She hardly pays any attention to politics though.

If he is a pipefitter, I'd assume he belongs to a union and votes Democratic.

I think these stereotypes of political parties is not helpful to our national unity.

Extremists and attention getters like MTG or OAC do not represent the views of most people.

I have several family members who vote Republican who live in the northeast, are college educated, and not religious. I think they mostly vote Republican for fiscal issues--they mainly want low taxes and a pro-business environment--and couldn't care less about social issues.

Conservative here. Wrong. My mom was a doctor and my wife is a lawyer. I respect their work.

If you try to raise a daughter with a progressive partner, what do you do about your pro choice partner teaching your daughter to fight for pro choice values? There is no middle ground on this issue. You either belive you forced birther view must be imposed on everyone including your children, or you believe in choice.

By raising a daughter who is allowed to form her own opinion versus having to absorb a parents opinion. Is that subconscious misogyny I sense? Mom and dad or mom and mom or dad and dad or whatever are allowed to have an opinion that differs with each other and their kids

please. no one is born understanding human reproduction and its complexities. What and how you teach your kids about human reproduction will absolutely inform their values.

So your saying you have all the exact same values and opinions as your parents?

Again. Democrats should have codified when they had a chance. They didn’t .. that’s on them. They put women last, again.

Again. He did not vote for Trump.

Well the fight is on. Losing a constitutional right is an utter disaster and pollutes everything from fertility treatments, to birth control to pregnancy health care and beyond. Not voting for trump is not going to fix it.

Many of them. Getting a top notch education was a priority value and that means I had excellent information about human reproduction and all that it entails.

But I was most certainly never taught that abortion was murder by my parents.

Sorry, but you are so dumb. I am raising three daughters. I don't teach them to fight, at all. All three are very successful in their careers, two graduated from Ivy League schools. There is middle ground. They all have their own choices, we don't impose our choices on our daughters.

There's no reason it can't work, unless one or both of you like to argue with the other. You can disagree about politics in a reasonable and non-confrontational way, or not. If one or both of you like to poke at the other, it won't work. If you have better things to spend your time discussing together, and keep your politics to yourselves or to trot out only when among like-minded other family or friends, little friction should ensure between you.

It's much more important to be aligned with respect to finances, retirement goals, lifestyle choices, career compatibility, and how to raise kids than it is to vote the same way.

Can you keep politics away from your relationship? I have been married to conservatives husband for 25 years, he is still super hot with 6 packs. He is a great father and pulls enormous load of household work. He is great in bed and great earner. We come from different backgrounds, different countries and even different religions (we still go to different churches). You can make it work only IF you want it. You will find million reasons for this not to work if you don't want it.

Ignorant. Maybe ask your daughters about something called roe v Wade. I had a constitutional right to an abortion for my entire life. Your daughters do not have this. They do not. And it affects many many things
