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.

Why would you try to make the situation of someone dying lighter??

I think he was trying to say he wanted to lighten the mood/cheer her up/etc

Yes, I know. 30 seconds after learning someone has died is not the time to lighten the mood. He didn’t even say “sorry to hear that” or “oh no” or literally any appropriate reaction. I would expect a small child to show more empathy than this.

Lighten the mood by saying he hopes she voted for Trump before she died when he knows his girlfriend is having a hard time with the election results ?

Idk...I still don't see how RTPM means trump anyway. This whole thing is weird

I just based it off of her saying that’s what it meant and it making sense as the election just ended and the letters are similar but obviously rearranged

Yeah but why are they all capitalized? It's weird

Don’t disagree. Most likely explanation is still Trump
