[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I have similar but slightly different views. Anyone married to someone with opposite views? [/quote] I didn't marry someone with vastly different views. My husband was born in a different country and is (was?) a socialist. He'd put Bernie Sanders to shame. But he suffered a TBI and has had serious challenges with anxiety. This has made him crave a more authoritarian type leader in a lot of ways, so he's much more open to Trump than I am (I loathe him). Understanding that this is about anxiety and a fear of his financial future (we aren't young) makes it more tolerable to have different political views now. I try to keep political discussions on more common ground (we are both anti-war, for example). And he thinks even undocumented immigrants should have health care coverage. So his views are not uniformly conservative. And honestly conservative doesn't bother me. Trumpism does. [/quote]
