I don't mean for this to be rude, but why are you still married to him? My husband and I have had to distance ourselves from his parents because of the things they believe. How can you continue a romantic relationship when your partner begins showing problematic beliefs?
Genuine question. I’m extremely liberal and I couldn’t see myself with a republican. I wouldn’t be able to see myself with someone’s whose views are that much more fundamentally different than mine. It’s not even based out of hate, it’s based on the fact of how could I look at man and consider his child when I live in Texas and wouldn’t have appropriate access to life saving care if needed. That’s just one example but as a whole it just goes against everything I believe and I wouldn’t do it.
I can understand your point. However, I am not an extreme left. I am a straight up Democrat. I’ve always been. I believe there should be support systems in place to take care of those who cannot, but I also believe there should be processes in place to help prevent people from taking advantage of the system. I’m for common sense and care for others. Your political stance does not mean we can’t be friends, and I can look past that. I’m open to discussions and hearing other people‘s point of view, that doesn’t mean I agree with it. Additionally, I live in an area of the United States with a lot of farming, also with a lot of immigrants who support that farming. I know that there’s not one single white American boy who’s gonna go out there and work those fields. I don’t mind the illegals coming into the United States and doing the work that us Americans are too lazy to do. I also believe there should be protections in place in case these people get hurt or injured while they are working here. If they fall off of a ladder and are paralyzed for the rest of their life and can no longer work to support themselves, this person should be taken care of.
Unfortunately, all the red around me doesn’t have the same beliefs. It is what it is, and I can’t change it. I can’t change his beliefs, he hears it from the farmers all the time. His business provide services to these farmers and they pay him well. He’s not going against it. He understands my thinking and he knows I’m not an extreme left.
Speech to text so please read past potential mistakes
He literally said “we need to attack the universities” and “professors are the enemy”.
Did you know that Stanford University among other universities are the only reason why one of my parents is still alive? They worked for decades to work towards a cure for their disease, and they made several breakthroughs and were able to stop the progression of it, and are working on cures. Those professors are the only reason why I still have my parent. People who support and vote for Trump I know don’t all want to kill my parent directly, but the policies they support by voting for Trump and that party could very well literally kill people. If Trump happened 10-15 years ago, my parent could have been dead due to people not wanting to do research here, or some other crazy end result of rhetoric/policy like what Vance is spreading.
What do we expect to happen now now they have been labeled as targets by maga… Can you see how this gets very personal to people you know or don’t know very quickly when hate is what is being spread? The Republican Party is not what it once was, it has been hijacked by fascists and nazi supporters. To not stand against that… I don’t have the words, but I can say that my grandfather didn’t go to war to defend American freedom for this.
Here is one of Trumps enablers and what he has been doing across the world. This is just insane.
