To break with my boyfriend over MAGA?

Name changed for this.

Been with my BF for aboout 18 months, we don’t have kids together and don’t live together.

He is American and since we met he has been to the US 3 or 4 times

Everytime he goes he asks me if I want anything and I always tell him I want a original MAGA hat

He always refused saying he did not want to give money to Trump’s campaing or enter his cards details on his website or go to a rally.
I tell him to do eBay or Walmart but he refuses - every single time

I have just asked again now that his next trip is close but he sent me the vomit emoji

Now, I’m not MAGA and never been right wing, I do laugh at Trump but I’m well aware of how dangerous he is. I’ve supported Biden and Kamala from day one. I was very sad at the results.

Before the election I wanted the hat for me to wear on Halloween as I had a scary costume in mind

Now after the election I want one so I can send to my 80 years old aunty who lives in Brazil and loves Bolsonaro and Trump.
She has health issues and will not last much longer. She is the only one in the family who has this politics and has been feeling increasingly lonely and isolated. She is not going to change and maybe never vote again.
I don’t care about her politics, she has always been very supportive of me and there for me always and throughout all my hardships.
She has everything she needs. She can buy whatever she wants. That hat, bought in the US and given as a gift would mean a lot to her.
I know. She is delusional.

AIBU to break up with my BF is he doesn’t give it to me? Why can’t he take it as a joke? He knows I’m not MAGA.

I will not break up but I’m very disappointed.

I'm assuming the OP's post is fake for some reactions ?

The behaviour of breaking up with your boyfriend because he refused to buy you a MAGA hat but it's not for you because you're a massive Kamala fan it's for your 80 year old Brazilian aunty who has a dictator fetish and needs to be wearing an ORIGINAL Trump hat while she fantasises about a threesome with Bolsonaro?

Oh yeah that Mumsnet classic

And I can’t buy it myself from any of the largest online retailers because…

Fake news

This is hilariously bonkers from start to finish.

How do you even identify an "original MAGA hat"? Is there some sort of MAGA hat authenticity check? Would you interrupt, say, a riot to make sure your fellow rioters were genuine?

I think a 2016 made cap

We are all being goaded, then goading each other. Quite fascinating tbh.

YABVVVVVVVU Why are you pandering to your aunty's MAGA views? I'd go NC with the aunty. Be thankful you've got a boyfriend with principles. I don't know how he hasn't broken up with you over your MAGA obsession. Apologise to him and never ever ever bring it up again, and go NC with you aunt.

FutureFeelsBleak · 12/11/2024 20:19

Is it wrong that I am glad the non-existent Auntie is lonely?

Enchente · 12/11/2024 20:57

We should set up a gofundme page so OP can buy herself one off t’interweb.

Even the most stupidest fucktard knows that you can get that hat in the UK. If it is not in ebay, then you can use one of those companies that offer customised marketing products.
This situation you are generating is a twisted slow-witted shittest with no goals other than to get your boyfriend to comply by employing the most abject emotional blackmail only for some kind of sickening satisfaction.
