Are you able to articulate how they are detrimental? A lot of liberals seems very emotional right now but unable to discuss what changes have been made or what exactly has happened that they have a problem with. Of course there is the ban on people from seven countries but how is that detrimental to this country? It can only hurt America to let these people in.

Agree 100%. Also, there were Obama policies that conservatives feel were detrimental to this county, yet you didn't see conservatives being disrespectful to the president or whining as if the world was going to come to and end. Rather we made the best of it, continued to love our country and voted when it was time. I find it shocking how liberals are offended that there is at least half the population that disagrees with them on things like border security and abortion. News flash, your view is not the only view and not the current majority.

Suck it, liberals! You lost.

Please tell that to the babies (literally babies!) getting detained at airports. You're a selfish monster.

Get a clue. We have been detaining (and holding) children at our southern border for years. Why are you only outraged by this now?

Who else is he supposed to care about as much as you, his family, and his close friends? Why should he share your exact political beliefs about Trump and the future of our country? Maybe he doesn't feel the need to worry and, unlike you, doesn't spend his time with anxiety about things he can't change instead of focusing on the people closest to him.

Do you talk his ear off about Trump every day? Seriously question? Is there a day you haven't mentioned Trump to him? Could you go a week without getting political and just focus on him, and your family and close friends? If you can't, then it's not him that has a problem.

If you don't stop, he is the one who is going to find you less attractive if you can't stop yammering about Trump and all your fears that you have let effect your relationship with the guy who loved you enough to marry you. I pray he doesn't have to put up with that for 4 more long years.

OP here. Yes, absolutely. It feels like we are not aligned on values, which is a tough pill to swallow.

But what are his values? Does he tell you he likes what's going on or does he have nothing to say at all?

Or you could be affected differently by social media and the regular media. There are many many nice and normal people in this country who voted for Trump. A lot of the recent outrage is simply media hysterics.

Maybe your husband is in denial? Mine sure is.

Thanks, troll.

Maybe he's terrified and can only deal with it via denial?

My DH would probably say the same thing about me. The truth is I am probably more politically and socially active than he is, he just wants me to get worked up with him. I guess it would makes him feel better but it does nothing for me.

So he's not a dishrag...what is it that concerns you again?

Go have an affair with a guy in his Prius.

What is with women who think that their spouses not only have to share all of their beliefs but that they must express themselves in the same manner? Get a grip.
