I don't blame her. Most of Cult45 members make rocks seem intelligent. Also, you do realize she's worried she won't be able to have you around her friends or family, right? The entire group will look down on you, justifiably so.

This is the attitude that got Trump elected in 2016 and will get him re-elected in 2020. They preach tolerance of everyone else when in reality they're the most intolerant people in America.

In this era I have trouble seeing how politically divided marriages/relationships can work.

Two people who are only moderately interested in politics could probably be R and D and get by. But increasingly those on the left who are highly invested in political ideology are like radical Muslims - they can't coexist with anyone else peacefully.

I actually did run across my ex on Hinge and she said she was looking for someone who was tolerant and open minded, which is coming from the least tolerant and open minded person I've ever met save for some guy in his 90s I suspect is a member of the Klan. I like to think of myself as open minded even if I fail sometimes, but people who are actually open minded don't go bragging about it. They let their actions speak for themselves.

Like many have said, this is not about trump or politics. If you guys have disagreements over stuff like politics, it is not going to get better. Consider yourself lucky that you are not married and find someone where there is a give and take. Someone who has similar views as you or respects your opinions. Nobody is going to have the exact same thoughts as you but somewhere close.

I'm always amazed it takes like 2,3,4, etc. years for relationships to get to breaking points over stuff like religion, politics, children, etc.

what the hell have these people been talking about for the first couple of years

I'm not a fan of Trump but your GF is a fruit loop.

I feel sorry for you that you wasted 3 years on someone that would tie your worthiness to a political figure.

Any girls that says this has her own issues that you will never be able to fix. Cut your losses and move on to someone who doesn't have mental issues.

Tell her Trump, but not because Voting for Trump’s is a hill to die on necessarily, but because she would make it a hill to die on, then that shows you what kind of crazy nut ball you’d be getting with her.

Anyone who puts voting for or against a political candidate above their relationship has some serious wiring problems. This is when you know it’s gotten way out of hand

if you choose a politician over someone you love, you are an idiot.

Or you have dignity. I certainly don't respect this guy anymore who took love over dignity.

I've been married for 3 years and dated my wife for 4. We have never once discussed politics. It's not that difficult to have different beliefs and still love each other.

UPDATE:

Alright, so when she first gave me this bogus ultimatum, I was pretty pissed off but I at least wanted a little time to cool off and really think about it.

I broke up with her lastnight.

She's been calling and I've just been ignoring her. She sent me a text apologizing saying she was so caught up in the news. I haven't answered and will not going forward. On the one hand, this could be just your normal couple fights but on the other hand, this ultimatum seems like some straight up red flag B.S.

If any of y'all are trying to grab a few beers on Dickson in the future, let me know!

Good for you sir. She’s acting just like a spoiled liberal with no grasp of reality. Now that you’ve called her on her BS, she’s freaking out that you didn’t just comply and realizing she made a huge mistake.

Her or Trump. She made it pretty clear.


Sounds like it is time to post her nudes on pornhub.

You called out her bluff. Same shite happened with my ex. Stick with it. This is the best decision you’ve ever made. Don’t go back out on the market too quickly. Just sit on your decision, crack open a beer, and know that you ended it from your end. This weekend, go get shitfaced with some friends and have a good time. You’ve earned it.
