My husband’s support for Trump is poisoning our marriage. Should I get a divorce?
The Globe and Mail ^ | 11/19/18 | David Eddie

I’ve been with my husband for eight years. We have no kids. For the past three, he has become increasingly alt-right and quite the Trump supporter. I’m very moderate in politics, but slightly left of centre. I like to follow the truth where it falls. But he will not allow for any kind of discourse or debate. He’s right, and I’m wrong. According to him, I’ve been brainwashed. It’s gotten to the point where I have left the house and am considering divorce. It has filtered into our relationship in too many ways. I’m not sure what to do.

You’re right on that one. I was expecting to see you on the Gettysburg Address thread.

Definitely a troll story made up to fan the anti-Trump flames.

George Washington must have thought so. The great love of his life appears to have been Sally Fairfax of Belvoir plantation next door to Mount Vernon. They met as teenagers and remained friends their whole lives, although it’s obvious George had wished for more. They remained friends even after the Loyalist Fairfax family lost their extensive Virginia lands in the Revolution, and Sally was stuck living in London.

Dear 'Moderate Lefty',

Dump this freedom loving S-O-B and get yourself a lesbian lover to share the joy of vegan dinners while watching Barack Obama's Netflix series. It is the only way you will be happy in life.

“Should I get a divorce?”

Yes, so your husband can find a GOOD woman, and you can start your life as a bitter man-hating cat lady.

Sounds to me like he doesn’t want to discuss politics and, like all liberals, she just can’t keep her opinions to herself and keep her mouth shut. And I wouldn’t doubt it if she gets verbally abusive.

She’s asking a newspaper columnist if she should divorce her husband..
She should ask her husband. She might be surprised by his answer.

Finally, I can’t see myself being married to a liberal.

Sounds like my first wife when we went to marriage counseling. She couldn’t wait to go so she could listen to the female counselor spending the sessions telling me everything that was wrong with me. That didn’t turn out quite as she expected so she quit going. Wife version 2 is much better.

If the only tool you have is a Hamm[st]er, every problem begins to look like a male!

I say, Have a few too many drinks and give him your best deep throat and swallow...then tell him if he wants more of these...stop talking about Trump! Otherwise, buy a pair of ear plugs........

Reluctant to burst your balloon, but this probably won't work. I mean Monica gave Bill all *kinds* of Lewinsky attention, and he wouldn't even give up *Hillary* for her. Full disclosure: on the other hand, he might have just been afraid of Ft. Marcy Park...

Godam women.

Never marry them. Never let them in your house.

Yes, by all means divorce him!

You may not believe this but you’ll actually be doing him a huge favor - he’ll no longer be married to an idiot.

There’s a nice Trump supporting lady out there somewhere waiting for him.

Lesson to be learned. Never marry anyone that puts politics above a relationship. If you can let politics ruin a marriage then the marriage isn’t worth 2 cents anyway.
