Husband has extreme right wing views

[HelpMeUnderstandPolitics]

Not sure if this is the right place to post as it's not an AIBU but more of I think my husband is being and I'm not sure what to do about it.

He's getting caught up in some quite extreme right wing views in regards to migrants. Complains about how they're coming in, being housed in hotels, paid allowances etc. with no checks and how crime rates such as rape are now ten fold etc. He thinks Trump is great 😪 He's very intelligent so I'm not sure how he's managed to get caught up in this extremist view point.

WWYD?

Your husband has views that align with most of the population. It’s actually fucking hilarious how many people are saying you should genuinely LTB over his fairly normal political options. It’s given me a right laugh though

We live in a democracy and people are allowed to have different views from other people. You may not like or agree with their views but again that’s your choice

But that's the point.

You're talking about totally different religions.

I'm talking about totally different value systems and beliefs about right and wrong.

No it doesn't.

I wouldn't marry anyone with a strong religion, be it Christianity or Islam.

Just like I'm sure they wouldn't be interested in marrying someone who is Atheist.

She didn't actually ask for opinions

Nor did she ask of she should break up her family.

She asked WWYD but instead of giving realistic practical advice on how to navigate differing political opinions within a marriage the first few posters gleefully piled on telling her to leave him and take her children away.

She doesn't have to take their advice no but plenty of us are here to reassure her that their advice is utterly shit.

By that logic somebody turning from left-liberal to right-conservative belief systems is the biggest u-turn ever as they are different belief systems.

true but they rarely debate

We are in new form of Cold War at the moment (in fact, not cold at all if you think of Ukraine) but all those right wing influencers and their puppet masters are spreading huge amounts of disinformation and propaganda on a daily basis. It's ramping up as well. Everything is about destabilising Western institutions, undermining faith in our governments and doing away with liberal democracy altogether. The target has always been men, especially white men. It's kind of logical why. There is a playbook and they are following it - and if we follow the money we end up in Russia. The UK is currently 100% in their line of sight. It's as much about ideological and psychological warfare as it is about nukes.

I don’t believe women find Kamala supporters more attractive than Trump supporters

They might get a kick out of being able to hold the power in a relationship, but it wears off. They soon enough despise them for being weak.

You’ve got a proper man OP, the last thing you should do is get rid

Well, exactly. What would you do?

Not remain married to him is clearly several posters answers. Should they have lied?

Do they need to? You can respect somebody’s
right to hold a view and have no interest in debating.

That's OK, my spouse is an intelligent man and he is perfectly capable of making his own decisions.

I don't think it is islamophobic to say that I wouldn't want to me married to someone with fundamentalist Islamic views. Most Muslims I know wouldn't want to be married to someone like that either.

And fwiw, I wouldn't want to be married to someone with fundamentalist Christian views either. Or fundamentalist religious views of any variety. Because their views and mine would no longer be compatible.

Methinks you are talking out of your arse.

Jesus…😂

No, you aren't "sure" about who anybody else would or wouldn't marry!!

If she asked “WWYD” what is the issue with people answering honestly?

Yep, they're the extremists. Leftism is a cult. You learn to tune out the deranged squealing sooner or later.

I'm not replying anymore to this thread. I feel successfully bullied off - so well done.

I dropped out because you utterly twisted my post and implied I was racist with your passive aggressive 'LOL see' at my perfectly valid comment that changing religion from Christianity to Islam was extreme (and vice versa).

Perhaps you need to re-read the OP. It was not once mentioned or even implied that he'd gone from 'extreme left views' to extreme right views' . You made that up for your fake comparison to try to lure me into your trap.

You can have your extreme left echo chamber. Its frightening.

I'm just hopeful that plenty of people will continue to post with balanced views similar to mine that will at least counteract your extremism.

People have seriously lost their minds.
Your DH is right and I agree with him!

I’m dealing with similar OP. You will find as I have that your husband is probably getting 24/7 right wing propaganda through his phone as the algorithms Have profiled him as someone susceptible to that messaging. It’s really depressing. I now constantly make him turn up the reels and stuff his watching and am like ‘you know this is not true right? Here let’s fact check this thing/look at the source etc.’ but it is exhausting.

Of course I am, especially as the atheist I was talking about is myself.

I am very, very sure that someone who identifies as a strong/strict Christian would not want to marry me because it simply wouldn't work.

😁
Wrong.

They should have had the intelligence and foresight to notice that the views described are not right wing at all. And probed it further

They just saw the words "extremist" and "right wing" and rabidly jumped on it.

I saw ''Trump is great'' and ''ranting about immigration'' which is enough for me to say that I wouldn't want to remain married.

So he doesnt like the migrants’raping’ but pedo rapist trump ok?
