You can send subtle signs that it’s not something you prefer for topics. Be reticent when it comes up. She’ll get the hint
Could you date someone with opposing political views?
- Thread starter Ohio Guy
- Start date
I know it’s still really new, but she’s damn near perfect otherwise.
Preferably something in a 2 piece.
My (batshit crazy) mother-in-law is virulently anti-Trump. This woman has never had a thought or belief system of her own since I've known her. She always just latches onto whatever belief system her spouse or S.O. has (which there have been several since I met her). She calls my wife nearly every evening and unloads all this crazy babble, leading the wife to put her on speaker phone so she can multitask...and unfortunately I get to hear it. Every now and again, I just can't help myself, and drop a passing snarky reply just to wind her up because feck it ya know....works like a charm by the way. A few examples from the past month or so...
MIL: You know Trump is the antichrist, right?
Me: How the hell can you believe in the antichrist when you don't believe in God (she's an atheist).
MIL: You know if Trump wins the election he's going to make internment camps for people like me.
Me: Man I hope so, I'd hate to think that you'd be moving in with us someday.
But hey, at least the remainder of their conversation switches from conspiratorial politics to what an asshole I am.

Haha - I can’t remember if any of you are facebook friends with me, but eventually sharing photos there might be as close to sharing pics as I get

My wife was a Republican, she loved the Doles and the Bushs. In 2008 she fell in love with Obama, started voting D. She probably is left of me on most issues now.
Dang, that puts her about 150 miles out in the Pacific past Cali then doesn't it?
Does she understand that Trump has probably paid for dozens of abortion and isn’t staunchly pro-life?
Well Biden still can’t find his worlds fair spoon and my finger can’t push the button for Trump.
As always. We deserve all of this horseshit.
Push the button for trump. It’s a no-brainer. He’s like backing Tom crean
She’s going sniff the softness off of you a mile away. You need to start chewing and wearing cut off tanks right away. Long term a mullet and arm tattoo wouldn’t hurt you. Lastly, in the bedroom don’t be afraid to hop right in and start rootin around. The nastier the better.

I'm not sure it's brainwashing. If you're in your mid-20's then Trump's Republican party is the only Republican party you've experienced as someone of voting age. Why wouldn't you associate MAGA with Republicans?
This is a problem for the party. They've lost the vast majority of an entire generation. And if Trump gets elected again this November they'll lose even more. The Dream Team may think all is well, but old angry white guys don't live forever. The next generation hates you.
We ain’t going anywhere

1. (used before one fact that makes another fact surprising) despite: 2. used…
You claimed this the other day and didn’t back it up with anything. The data shows young men have shifted to the right. They can’t stand all the left leaning woke bullshit.
Think we can thank social media for this.
Should be called unsocial media when politics is thrown into the mix.
I married a Kanuckistani Kommie 24 years ago. I'd been a mostly Republican, middle of the road type for years prior (voted GHWB twice, maybe Dole but can't remember for sure, and GWB twice before I finally/reluctantly realized that he and Cheney had lied to us). Obama caught my eye with his convention speech in 2004 and I was all in on him in 2008.
The Great Recession and health care costs sealed the deal. My wife lost her job and her health insurance, my salary was cut by 20% and putting her on my work policy tripled my already too high out of pocket costs. We were looking at abject poverty and/or public assistance. The ACA saved our bacon. And the Pubs have been trying to take that away from us and others like me ever since.

Seems to me, so long as she agrees with you about when it is and is not appropriate to ignore her for a sports event, and also about which kind of threesome is acceptable, then politics don't matter at all.
If all that is true then they think the Left is all pronouns and virtue signaling. And it means they’re a worthless generation if they can’t separate moderates from the extremists. But I don’t believe that to be the case. I believe they're brainwashed.
So pretty much any liberal?
Thankfully, my wife isn't political in the least.
She votes, but really doesn't pay attention until a week or so before she goes in to vote.
She leans right, I lean left. Its been an issue in our loving relationship 0% of the time.

I would only care if someone was so obsessed with political issues that it dominates their life, being the only thing they can think or talk about. Outside of someone who actually works in politics, that's a warning sign of someone either crazy or stupid. Probably both.
The most anti Trump generation seems to be younger millennials... Like late 20s to late 30s. Gen Z seems to be a bit more up in the air.
Gen Z. That’s Gen Zyn son. They ain’t got time for politics
Yea she's an atheist. Go figure the perfect Dem! No morals, no ethics but to you she's normal and has standards. LMAO.
Funny thing happens when young progressives become successful business owners. I have client around 40. Crazy intelligent and was far left through college and immediately after college. He started a business and now has multiple companies and extremely successful. He’s Trump MAGA now.
