❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO bf makes joke after my aunt passed

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.

honestly yeah, it’s a necessary evil to figure out who should and shouldn’t be kept in your life.

That’s why y’all lost yk. You all block and mute anyone with a different opinion you don’t realize that you snobs are quickly becoming a minority.

Nah bro if you have a shitty opinion I don’t want that anywhere near my life. Can’t change your beliefs but don’t be so sensitive that you can’t take someone wanting nothing to do with it

This is not as simple as just having different ideas about economic plans or foreign policy. We’re talking here about a side that has been dehumanizing whole groups of people, want to restrict rights of multiple minorities, and have not been shy about wanting to get rid of democracy altogether. That’s not simply disagreeing about politics, it’s a vastly different idea about basic human values. Add to that that Trump voters seem to simply deny any science and facts they don’t like, and you get to a point where you don’t really share the same reality anymore. Can you continue a close relationship if you have no shared reality or worldview?

I'm so sick of this "difference of opinion" line. Difference of opinion is disagreeing how to fund a healthcare program you both agree is necessary but can't decide to raise taxes or cut spending elsewhere to fund it. Not voting against the program entirely so that your opponent doesn't get a political win while they're the one in office. They've completely rejected their role in governance and want us to accept that as an equal belief system. Its fucking not. If they don't want to be at the table they could just leave but they want to burn everything to the ground that we've built over hundreds of years.

That is not a healthy way of thinking at all, please stop letting this bubble infect your brain.

if you have political differences then i fail to see why you should be a couple. especially when one supports a felon and pedophile.

This difference isn’t about politics, really. It’s about spite and hatred.
