lol, this isn’t hardly unusual, the idea of two different political factions in the same household, but given this thread by @Czarcasm , I just wanted to see if his prediction would come true - that some of y’all just wouldn’t be able to help yourselves in the snark. And if the SDMB has dropped to the level he thinks, well, we need to up our tolerance game.
Because it’s like I told Inna: our votes canceled each others’ out anyway. Now we just know who’s vote we are canceling. And rejecting her (or her, I) merely because of political opinions… in the United States of America… is just stupid and self-defeating, given all the other ways in which we are so right for each other.
Anyway, some of y’all “know” me, you definitely know my opinions, and, as noted above, I’m kinda interested in seeing just how my friends (and foes! ) react to the news. Will say, my real-world friends are a bit surprised, but then, they may know me better.
Oh, one thing: She’s a Republican, not a Trump supporter. Yes, there are differences. Long story short, she’s ambitious and when she came to the US she was told there’s one party on the side of business, and that’s pretty much it.
Lastly, aim your questions at me, not her. Don’t ask “Well, doesn’t she UNDERSTAND… ???” because I am not asking her to defend her thoughts about your pet issue. Or, simply put, since she’s not here to tell you her thoughts, don’t ask me about them. The paragraph above will be as much as I divulge - if she wants to register (and, yes, she knows about this place, lol, everyone in my life does), she can do so.
In closing, in a country which prides itself on being a “melting pot”, a place where religious and political plurality is to be expected, rejecting love on such a measure is… well, it’s not just silly…
It’s rather unamerican.
So… tell us your thoughts and experiences with Love in the Age of Trump, especially those of you in divided households.
