[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work in politics too and think this is a common personality flaw amongst us. Honestly, if you have let him know his approach makes you feel extremely defensive and he continues, tell him you no longer are interested in discussing these topics and see if it works. Political dorks need love too, but they also cannot go around harassing people who love them and you will be doing him a favor by training him out of this bad, bad habit.[/quote]
Can you train a man who’s well into his 30s out of a bad habit? And furthermore, he’s had girlfriends before. I can’t imagine none of them have ever been like “Hey, honey? When you accuse people of being anti-American just because they don’t agree with you, or even because they do agree with you and just aren’t comfortable taking such a far stance as you, that’s kind of a turn off.” I mean from what he’s told me most of his ex-girlfriends are pretty educated women with similar political stances to mine. I’m just saying, I suspect that what I’m about to tell him is something he’s heard before.

But thank you. That’s actually really helpful and a good starting point. And yes, it makes me feel so defensive! I feel like I’m in trouble with my dad or something and he’s trying to hit me with a “gotcha.” Ffs. I’m 31 years old and NOT a cable news channel contributor. I didn’t sign up for this! [/quote]

PP - well, if you think its this bad don't give him too much time to turn it around and if you have to break it off just remember that you don't want to spend the rest of your life in gotchas about hot topics.[/quote]
