Our friends husband teld her he voted Trump.

It was one big nail in the coffin of that marriage.

Anyone who voted for trump deserves to get divorced. The lack of morals, the lack of basic human empathy is present in all trump voters.

Even in the best case scenario of a well-intentioned-but-ignorant person that didn't think critically about what a Trump vote meant, I still wouldn't want to be married to a fool.

You've gotta use your brain if you want to ride this train.

You can't use that excuse for the last election though.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 month ago

Nope. This time, everyone knew what voting for Trump meant, so they're either irredeemably evil or irredeemably stupid (or both).

How would I not know the political views of my husband?

[–] homura1650@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It's possible that his views were conflicted.

I have family whose politics I understand pretty well, and I don't know who they voted for. What I do know is that they were torn between: "Trump's blatant antisemitism is a danger to us here in America" and "Trump is good for Israel".

Yeah, not communicating enough with your spouse to know their political beliefs would be a major red flag. That in itself should be the final nail in the coffin.

A friend of mine went on a date Sunday night. For some reason they started talking politics. This bitch ass cry baby mommas boy walks OUT on the date, WITHOUT paying for his drinks/food. Luckily my friend only had to pay for her stuff. I'll give you one guess what his political leanings were. These maga morons got no balls

Your friend dodged a bullet.

For your own safety you should really ask about their political ideology before meeting them. Make sure to not let them fool you either, never tell them yours first.

[–] beejboytyson@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Man you'd think. Some ppl just use politics to hide shitty behavior. Polis don't mean shit. See how friendly and helpful they are to strangers. Ppl thank can't offer anything.

Morons And Genuine Assholes

I'm glad I live in a place where this would give you almost no info.

Because there's more than two options.

~~I don't think it gives any indication that there is only two options~~

oh I see the red and blue arrows now, still you could say this anywhere and be suspicious

[–] GojuRyu@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Unless some politician had a recent shitstorm and no other politician was in hot water currently, I would probably ask who it was they wouldn’t vote for because I would have no clue. The same would apply if instead of a single person, it was about a single party, unless an especially bad one had popped up that election, I simply wouldn’t know which party they were talking about. I don’t even think I’d be suspicious, I’d be too busy being confused or curious.

For context, we currently have more than a dozen parties represented in government and half a dozen that didn’t get enough votes this time around, but are big enough to be recognizable and sometimes getting representatives in government.

I think a lot of us in the US have had this experience some time in the last 10 years. A work colleague or relative you don't know that well. People tend to avoid talking about politics directly, and often the euphemism (as seen here)bis ambiguous enough that it's a coin toss for what it actually means.
