Could you be with a man who would have voted Trump?

[Trumpz]

Just that really.

My husband doesn't love Trump exactly but said tonight he would have voted for him and he hopes Trump will "dismantle the deep state".

Could you be with a Trump voter? Interested in people's views.

🤣 Is it the beard or the plaid shirt?

What an utterly absurd post.

So, assuming your DH is a good man in every other respect, you would leave him if he voted Reform? How would you know how he voted?
But let’s assume you did know - presumably because you badgered him, yours would be an act of enormous folly (and highly improbable).

It sounds very much like you want to part anyway, and how he votes would be a casus belli.

That was approximately the title of Ken Livingstone’s autobiography I seem to remember.

I think it's the glasses! I know, shameful!

😁

"Wouldn’t you think about why your husband chose to kiss else and see if you can come to an understanding rather than throw the baby out with the bath water?"

Touché

Although I still think that kissing someone else is more of a personal act against a spouse than voting for someone they don't approve of

I could because I would have voted for him as well !

Elastic principles then.

Brilliant.

the issue is that when i dig into 'why Trump' - -it becomes clear that women doesn't matter than much to H.

It's a conundrum - as H said he would never leave his daughter in a room with Trump - so he believes he is dangerous and he believes the abuse allegations and charges.

But when it comes to policy - and how that impacts women he will never meet - nah, he's just not that bothered. And he believes women have all got a bit hysterical over some it.

I feel more feminist than I've ever felt (and I agree no women have dicks etc) - but my H seems to show less and less regard for women. I don't know if he was hiding it before - or if youtube has got to him - but every year that passes it becomes more apparent. And Trump is the last thing on a long list.

You can vote as you please but I find this logic odd. You'd vote Republican despite not liking Trump - fair enough, lots of people take that stance. He's a criminal, a sexual predator and a rambling idiot.

But then you say you couldn't vote Kamala because she's a halfwit, not because she's a Democrat. In the debate, Trump said 'they're eating the dogs' etc. I don't warm to Kamala either but why does her annoying personality make her worse than Trumps truly appalling one?

Absolute bull shit so being a business man means it’s ok to lie big time

I am and its bloody hard! He started having this view post Covid though, when Trump was running the first time he also wouldn't have voted for him, but now loves the man!
We have a 20yr history though (me and DH, not Trump, whom I despise), so I try to ignore politics in the house!
I also have a couple of friends (women, one American) who love him (Trump, this time, not DH... I don't think!), and I won't stop being friends with them over this either...
So in short I don't know what my answer is to your post, because when I think about my DH views on Trump I want to bash his head in (I won't, though)

Or have LTB

Well, there are those on this thread who’ve suggested OP go back on to the dating market and see who she could get, or say they’d rather be with a Trump supporter who happened to be a good husband, than a Democrat who wasn’t.

I don’t look at it this way at all. I’d much rather be single than with the wrong man. And to me, a man who’d voted for Trump would be all kinds of wrong.

@Bixterret. Could you explain how Farage is a businessman other than fleecing certain sectors of voters out of cash to benefit his 'company' or a media personality paid for spouting his views ? I was unaware of his background in pure commercial business - someone like Michael Heseltine was actually a genuine businessman having built up Haymarket publishing etc.

I would hardly say Sir Keir Starmer was out of his depth having been the director of public prosecutions , unlike say Johnson who was a 2 bit hack for the right wing press in a prior life or indeed a whole selection of Tory's who had done little outside of politics and certainly not Farage who can't even be arsed to be a constituency MP it seems

Farage was a trader on the London metal exchange.

@Littlemissgobby

All politicians lie, didn't you realise that?

Actually some are greater than others trump got fact checked when in his last term he lied over 30000 times. Some may lie a little but some like Boris and farage wouldnr know the truth if it hit them

You r right posh boy trader hardly man if the people like trump who was billionaire everything given to him who wants like fargae tax cuts for the wealthy did you know in his last promises before the election reform would have cost poorest household 5000 pounds. The thing is the facts are at your finger tips to many don't realise. Like I.keep thinking of them poor sods who just voted trump in knowing biden had made it so insulin was now 35 dollars not 800. Trump said he doesn't wanna help the health care so now they gonna have to pay more for drugs again

Same here. We voted Reform too.

I've not rtft yet but just wanted to say what a fantastic post. I'm sure there are lots below arguing against simply because they don't want to accept it. So relieved Kamala didn't get in, would have been a disaster for the entire planet

I couldn’t care less what friends, relatives and loved ones vote for. Politics are just opinions, and everyone is entitled to their own. 🤷‍♀️

I wonder whether you would have received different answers if the question were “could you be with a man who has fundamentally different values to yours?”

Disaster for our entire planet take look around you you now have a redundant who believes climate change is a hoax so that is a disaster to our planet. Weather is getting worse and worse look at the science but then again the Republicans don't sang fol going to university they want poorly educated people
