Why would you marry someone that votes to make you a second class citizen?
I always wondered that and I finally met not one, but TWO people who fit this criteria.
The first person was married with kids, and she's afraid to leave because she doesn't know if she's the primary breadwinner, and to divorce would mean she would struggle taking care of two kids by herself. The husband isn't abusive (her comments), but he seems to want her to be a tradwife while also wanting her to work.
The second person shared that she married her high school sweetheart. But she was already questioning things when he spouted Joe Rogan/Jordan Peterson BS, and would flip out at work on male coworkers and put words in our mouths. After a report, I learned about her marriage issues and providing support for the past few months. But all the workplace can do is give her some therapy sessions and hopes she gets the fuck out of her predicament.
Some people have been married for longer than republicans have been open fascists.
Since the Reagan years?!
My dad used to listen to NPR but somewhere along the way NPR got replaced with Rush and Drudge. Thankfully he died before our relationship could be ruined by Trump but I know he would have been and I know it would have broken us.
This is spot on. Mine is still alive (mom too) and Trump made me realize who they really are. It’s not pretty.
You should watch, "The Brainwashing of my Dad" documentary. Sad reality for so many.
Basically yeah.
I was married for 30 years. (Not to a Republican, tho.)
Why would someone vote for themselves to be a second class citizen?
I dunno.
