The Democrats Have Radicalized My Wife
Posted on 11/2/20 at 10:03 am

My wife has been fairly apolitical for most of her adult life. She's normally the type that would ask me who I was voting for and why, and after hearing me out say OK and pull the lever. She's a suburban, college educated housewife; you know, the type that the MSM tells us that despises Trump.
She disliked Hillary and happily voted Trump, but overall, politics just weren't important to her.
However, recently she saw just the lengths the left would go to:
-Fruitless Russia impeachment
-Lawlessness in the streets during "mostly peaceful protests"
-Authoritarian responses to COVID
-Coordinated media blackout of anything damaging to the left, coverup of Biden's Ukraine and China dealings especially
One of the turning points was when she posted a funny right-leaning meme on Facebook, and it was censored. She couldn't believe it. Recently, she was outraged that women's organizations have had to walk back congratulatory statements on the confirmation of ACB to SCOTUS due to pressure from the groups who supposedly espouse women's rights.
She's been very cautious about posting so openly about supporting Trump on social media because she's seen the result of cancel culture and has no intent of becoming its next victim.
Instead, she's been doing all she can to work her moderate friends to vote Trump via alternative means. She scours discussions on Facebook for any of her friends that are fence sitters and then privately engages them in text or on the phone and has been slowly convincing them to get out and vote Trump. For any of her friends that are outward Trump supporters, she's been making sure they're registered to vote and will get out and go vote. She of course reminds them to seek out the JBE recall petition as well.
She sees a threat to her children's future. She sees a threat of violence from the left. She sees the push for the breakdown of the family structure from the left. She sees a future that she does not want. The Democrats have taken someone that had low interest in politics and molded them into a political activist.
I hope she's not the only one out there, and I sincerely doubt she is.
TLDR: The Democrats have radicalized my wife, but not how they intended.

I love that lady head and the intense bearded dude that is her spouse

Same with my wife. She has never been political and now she watches the debates and rallies.

Not gonna lie, you had me in the first half

My wife is the same way. She's an educated white suburban mother. Voted for Trump!

No they didn't. Your wife was reasonable and continues to be reasonable. It's the Democrats that have gone completely fricking nuts.

My wife has been transformed the same way

FIFY
I am done blaming the left on this. They are toddlers throwing tantrums. Stop capitulating. You are ultimately just as much a pussy.

my wife has been the same way. im hoping this is a nation wide trend. if so there's no stopping MAGA

My white, college educated suburban wife is more into this than I am which I didn't think was possible. The democrats better not count on her vote.
And I think this is the most important election since 1860. 1980 turned out to be vitally important in that it led to the collapse of the Soviet Union but I don't think we knew that in 1980. Here, we know what's at stake.

I'm curious how someone that isn't into politics and following what's going on closely can know about Biden's corruption - because only one outlet on tv and only one major newspaper are revealing the truth about it (a few shows on Fox and the NY Post).
This is what's had me more concerned than anything - that half the country is basing their decision on complete lies from a very corrupt MSM.

Downvoted for your intentionally misleading title.

Mrs. TigerAxe absolutely despised politics until late 2019 leading up to the impeachment scam.
Now, she watches more Trump rallies than I do, and she follows more conservative YouTube channels than I ever have. She lets me know every time the Hodge Twins or Officer Tatum release a good video. She wants a Lion Ted/Kristy Noem 2024 ticket.
The true tipping point that I believe fully galvanized her as a solid Trump supporter was when she saw Pelosi rip up Trump's SOTU speech on live TV. I was not expecting the strong reaction from her, and it's something that she still talks about that burns her up.
