[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We don't anymore. We used to be able to have a conversation about political issues, but not since 2016.

Civil conversation about anything remotely political is no longer possible in our relationship.[/quote]

"Relationships" like this one stupify me.

[b]How can you share a life with someone who doesn't value anything you value? [/b]Is it just about money? Or what other people think? It is just laziness?

I cannot imagine sharing my life with someone who I couldn't talk to about something as integral to life in America today as politics. Almost everything that matters is political -- unless you literally go through life doing nothing but existing -- eat/sleep/poop/take out the garbage. That is not living.[/quote]

Dp. People like my friend, who has been married for 27 years, didn't find out how their spouse felt *until 2016. What is she supposed to do? She still loves him and he loves her, she now has to integrate the fact that he's a trumpy pos into her reality. They don't talk politics, obviously.[/quote]
Exactly. The reality is people do not remain the same over time. Sometimes the change is unwelcome.

ps would your friend want to start a club? [/quote]
