[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Divorce him. Seriously. I couldn't stay married to someone with those values.[/quote]

I'm about to uninvite my ILs for the holidays. I don't want my children exposed to that kind of hate and ignorance. [/quote]

This attitude right here is  part of the reason Trump is having success. [/quote]

As a college professor, I agree 100% with this. PP is one of those "don't expose me to ideas I disagree with" types.... the coddling students I teach on a daily basis who don't want rigorous arguments challenging them to defend their views. [/quote]

Yep.  OP and all these others who are telling OP to divorce your husband over politics need to take a step back.  People in this city care WAY more about politics than people in other parts of the country, and I'm not sure that is a good thing.  My DH and I tend to vote for different parties' candidates and I'm always surprised how surprised people are about this.  [b]In the grand scheme of things, your politics don't matter that much to your relationship, OP.[/b]  Ask DH not to discuss Trump anymore if you can't take it but don't let this infect your relationship - it's not actually all that important relative to his general disposition as a husband and father.  [/quote]

I'm one of the people who said divorce. I agree with you that relationships transcend politics, but supporting Trump means you support excluding people from the U.S. on the basis on religion, putting certain religious minorities on a special registration list, and that people with disabilities are less-than. [b]Those are values that I couldn't live with in a spouse, which is more than merely politics.[/b][/quote]

Did OP actually say anywhere that her DH agreed with the keeping out all Muslims thing?  A person could theoretically support Trump and not agree with every single statement.  I think assuming that he agrees with this latest statement on Muslims and then judging his values accordingly is a BIG leap.

Except that this was not an isolated statement.  Trump has repeatedly made statements like this.  If you support him, you have to know that you're supporting someone who has advocated for a number of racist, xenophobic policies over a sustained period of time.  At what point does a normal person say, "Well, I like his tax policy, but I just can't support someone like that."?[/quote]
