[quote=Anonymous]I married a man that was Republican up until Trump became the nominee. I always believed our deeper values were the same, and ultimately I was correct. That said, it could have all gone very, very badly. The moment trump became the nominee, he walked up to me in the house and said “I guess im going to hold my nose and vote for Hilary” and he did. He voted a Republican ticket otherwise. Then, he saw that the vast majority of republicans were supporting the trump craziness and becoming anti-democracy so he started voting against them. He most recently made himself unaffiliated because he is so mad about where the Republican Party has gone. But the reality is that this is not what happened with the vast majority of conservatives. My husband was one of the very few that jumped ship. And frankly, I used to vote Republican in my earlier years also. I jumped ship during Obama’s first term. I never realized until the trump era just how deeply wedded people are to their “party” even when the party no longer reflects who they are. I would be asking this guy A LOT of questions about his views on many topics. For example, my hsuband still cringes when I call him a feminist — but he is a feminist. He has supported me in my career in ways that many “liberal” men would not. And he supports women more broadly in the work force. He realizes how much is at stake in womens healthcare, etc. [/quote]
