[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH and I work in government so we see how the sausage is made every day. There is nothing wrong with being conservative vs liberal and having different ideas on how the government should operate. We think the left does silly things. However, at this point, we cannot tolerate anyone who supports Trumpism. We don’t understand how real conservatives and Republicans (which we used to be) can support 95% of his actions, and disbelieve the things they see with their own eyes and hear with their own ears (We get a lot of “he never said XYZ” and just call it fake news when someone shows them a clip). It means you never learned civics or understood anything about what the idea of America is. We actually blame the Senate more than Trump himself because the US system was set up to deal with someone who perceived themselves to be a king. Most of the R senators know better, yet they refuse to exercise their given authority as a co-equal branch of government. They should be better serving the population by showing them a proper legislative way to serve and protect the American people, instead of going along with the graft and corruption and illegality of the current WH occupant.

So yes, if I were married to a blathering Q-anon Trumpist, be gone and I’d weep because my children carried half stupid genes. [/quote]

DP. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt that you didn't mean to be incredibly condescending, but I'm one of the posters on here that identifies with OP - I'm in the same situation.

And guess what, my husband and I are also both in government. We see how the sausage is made. We both have professional degrees and had private sector careers using those degrees before joining government. My husband went to a prep school you have definitely heard of and a pretty selective university you may have gone to yourself. He is very knowledgeable of American history. He does not buy into QAnon. So to paint anyone that supports Trump as a blathering QAnon idiot is naive and also dangerous. We might be your friends or neighbors or your boss. A lot of people are going through this.[/quote]
