I personally think this post is a “tongue in cheek” joke, but many will take the bait.
I have a male partner for 13 years, and he is born and bred Southern Californian from growing up in the 60's.
He is what I would call a "passive liberal" like your wife. He is s conservative on economic issues, but is very liberal on abortion and hates gun rights.
I do my best to convince him on the arguements, but to him it is all superficial, it is all about how one looks and what not one says.
I've had some success, he voted for Trump in 16 and Cruz in 18.
He really loathed Beto.
He does not like voting, for if he votes he will get jury duty. I vote for very important votes and issues.
I know I put myself on a limb, we both just want to live in peace, and both agree that the term "marriage" is between a man and a woman.
So you’re suggesting the good folks at FR who are genuinely wanting to help this man ......are being had?
I would rather ALWAYS consider face value and respond to it....
....
...instead of immediate distrust
think this post is a “tongue in cheek” joke,
————OR she’s not nearly as conservative as you claim.
Agree that this story is click-bait. A few months back there was a similar story in the San Antonio Express News about a guy from Ca who moved to a upper-middle class North Austin suburb. He and his family are Caucasion and the area is majority Caucasion also. In his LTE he whined about the racism and lack of sophistication of his neighbors, and most other things that make Texas so very different from CA.
Most commenters on the article offered to pay for his trip back to CA. The rest suggested that the story is a campaign by the CA government to try to slow the population exodus out of CA.
