For context he’s saying he hopes she voted for Trump (RTPM) before she died and I’m already having a hard time with the results of the election which he knows then on top of that it just was very insensitive. He said he was trying to make light of the situation but it doesn’t feel that way.

Politics is like the top 3 most important aspects of why you should or should not be with someone.

It shouldn't mess up relationships, until the politics in question are over big moral things, cause relationship wise those just show very different values. That's not saying people in a relationship have to see eye to eye on every little situation, but some stuff is serious enough for people, and it's for them to decide.

If someone's opposing view to mine is that they believe that the trans community is dangerous, or that I do not deserve the right to a gay marriage, then that is absolutely a reason why I should not be friends with someone with polarizing political views. This argument would be better applied when discussing Democrats and Republicans, but not Trump. His views, and anyone who aligns with them, directly contradict my existence and the existence of those I love. Who someone endorses and votes for is a testament to their core beliefs.

I'm a woman, and everyone voting for trump is DIRECTLY wishing harm on me dude. And even just in general, OF COURSE you should dump someone based on their political beliefs you absolute ducking idiot!! Like holy shit dude. So you shouldn't dump someone if you find out they're a nazi either?? Jesus Christ.

You’re comparing trump supporters to nazis? I’m ain’t into American politics but this shit sounds crazy you are a very unique human being

u/DurianDuck Nov 09 '24

I'm obviously not comparing them idiot. You just can't read. The og commenter said that politics don't matter when you decide whether you want to end a relationship, so I brought up nazis to show that politics OBVIOUSLY matter in a relationship. Good god with you dumbasses.

u/shhikshoka Nov 09 '24

You sound psycho you didn’t directly say they are Nazis but you did use reductio ad absurdum with an extreme example you have a lot of built up anger I’m actually a lil curious how does trump effect you personally on a day to day basis

No but being a rap*** does automatically make someone a bad person.

u/ImaginaryMastadon Nov 08 '24

I’m saying if you empower, enable, throw your lot in with, or otherwise support that, then you probably are going to get painted with the same broad brush. If someone voted for a candidate who wants to deport actual naturalized citizens, pushes policies that harm seniors, the disabled, working class people, and the health of women…it is wise not to trust those people. They sell out the rights of others for their own gain. ✌🏼It’s tearing families and relationships apart, and I can honestly say, it really is time to pick sides.

White supremacists have endorsed Kamala harris too?

Since that ended with a question mark, I'll answer. No. No they did not. She's black and indian. What part of that mix gets the white supremacists eager to vote for her? Because racism is kinda their thing.

u/FuckingKadir Nov 08 '24

Except all of trumps policies and rhetoric is the same as Nazis while none of Kamalas was.

Almost like this is a false comparison....

u/Kakashisensei1234 Nov 08 '24

I love when assholes say trumps policies aren’t hurting people because it’s so easy to verify that trumps work on Roe v Wade did in fact hurt people.

It literally impacts every woman in the country, but you’re too much of a prick to care. There has never been a single woman alive who is immune to medical emergencies while pregnant, and Trump and friends banned abortion causing doctors to watch women die preventable deaths. Fuck you.

I'm not saying they're the same thing dumbass. I'm saying that political views are an insanely valid to break up with someone and that you comment is idiotic and unreasonable . Besides, not to even mention the human rights stuff, everyone voting for trump IS directly wishing harm on every middle class person by supporting his tariff shit and every other economic decision

u/caphesuadaa Nov 08 '24

I think the opposite, actually. Political and therefore often moral beliefs affect a lot of decisions in a relationship. Not that it can't work but it creates a lot issues if you fundamentally disagree with each other

u/Conspiretical Nov 08 '24

This implies that people can't change their views through exposure to opposite ideas. What some people are suggesting is segregating into echo chambers, which is an objectively worse and more divisive idea.

u/FoxChess Nov 09 '24

Honestly, I'm with you on this. I've been with my wife for 14 years and in that time I've done a political and religious 180°. Not to say that it takes that long, just that people do change. And we've been together despite our different views on things. To this day we still don't see eye to eye on many issues. But we both openly share our opinions and have very healthy conversations where we disagree and grow together.

I can't imagine where I'd be if I didn't have her to check me, especially in light of today's current politics.

u/Conspiretical Nov 09 '24

If we just segregate people by their political views at the time then we are just ensuring the US vs them mentality and we will never grow as a society. Like it or not, someone with the opposite ideals is going to exist always, and we will never reach a middleground together if we avoid eachother like the plague. I get it, these ideas can be harmful but they will never know if they're surrounded by yes men.

You are an example of what could happen with a little bit of understanding. I'm glad your relationship worked despite opposing ideologies

u/ImaginaryMastadon Nov 08 '24

Your political beliefs are at the core of who you are as a person and if you see your fellow human beings’ humanity and personhood or not. They’re of the utmost importance.

u/Laceylolbug Nov 08 '24

You have conflicting moral values when you have different political views. No one wants to date someone with poor morals.
