To think DH comment about Liz Truss could be final straw?

DH can be a bit of an idiot. Getting more right wing in his old age. Went through a stage of reading a load of nonsense online. Jordan Peterson etc.

News was on. And he just turned to me and said

"I've been reading some alternative theory behind all this. And I think it may well be the globalists who have forced Truss out"

When I asked who these globalists were, he just said

"The people in charge. Jeremy Hunt. Banks"

When I started to question it, I could feel it was gonna get into an argument v quickly so I just left to do the laundry

Things have been bad for a while. How batshit barmy is this comment? To me it feels totally crazy. I don't know if I can be with someone who feels so distant in the way he thinks the world works.

What do others think? Am I being ott to think this is some seriously worrying shit coming out his mouth?

The ERG cannot support any candidate because, as I said last week, the globalist coup has succeeded. There is no Conservative party. It is dead.

I'm not sure why people think 'globalist' is an anti-semitic slur (but the same people don't think images of Jewish cabals taking over the world is anti-semitic when Corbyn/the labour party does it).

Anyway, I educated myself. www.spiked-online.com/2022/10/21/its-not-anti-semitic-to-call-this-a-globalist-coup/

You educated yourself by reading article by Frank Furedi?

Bless your heart as they say in the Southern states of America.

Ah yes, Spiked - that well-known bastion of level-headed, apolitical wisdom.

Come on now, you can surely find better supporting materials than that.

Sigh. Whatever I read or watch, it won't be good enough, I know. I'm not ideologically pure like you. Like, I think that the UK is a decent place to live, that men can't be women, that people who voted Brexit had a point, that tories are not all bad, and GB news is a pretty good channel.

So whatever I say, you'll dismiss me for wrongthink.

I just think it's a real shame to destroy a marriage over a difference of opinion. It seems so wildly destructive. When instead you could have a conversation, or a compromise, or even a laugh about it.
