Trump destroyed my marriage.

It's not really surprising, the far left have become brainwashed into thinking they're fighting some kind of holy war and are extremely intolerant towards anyone whose views aren't the same as their own. It's the same sort of mindset as ISIS terrorists tbh, both believe they're fighting for some greater good and anyone who isn't with them is therefore an infidel.

I hope when i'm reincarnated I come back as a mushroom hidden away in the forest somewhere.

It would be better than reading / knowing about this crapp.

Even as a mushroom i'd probably still possess more brains than the individuals in that article.
 
The louder and more trollish Trump gets, the more extreme and pathetic virtue signalling gets :D

One Trump is gone, they will have nothing to do though.

God save me from the righteous. They scare me more than anyone.

That articles a dailymash parody surely?

Sadly not. I got part way through the first case study and had to stop to look up the website and check. I think it was the part where a woman blamed her husband because she was "effectively a single parent" whilst he was on tour in Iraq. As a commentator pointed out, she was okay accepting his cheques that he sent back from risking his life out there. Not to trivialize that it can be hard waiting at home and worrying but to put it on him like that and then use it as an argument why he should be supporting her more in her anti-Trump organizing to make up for what he did... This is what happens when the media is 24/7 bombarding people with messages that they're fighting some kind of new Hitler.
 
Your stop the planet tag is quite appropriate :s

Of late I've realised loonies gonna loony and best I can do is try and isolate myself from the impact of it as much as possible and hope they destroy each other without too much collateral.
Frequenting GD seems at odds with this mission statement :p

Surely you could lump the far right in there too.
All nut cases

Depends how you look at it - I'm talking about avoiding being caught up in the consequences rather than removing oneself from it entirely - to do that you somewhat have to know what is going on.
 
Seems like another example of people taking all possible measures to avoid hearing opinions they don't like.

I don't know how these people manage to keep breathing if they have that limited mental capacity. It's the same as, "I could never date someone who had voted for...."

Saying that, I don't think I've ever deliberately discussed politics with a partner; women usually find enough things to argue about as it is. :D
 
I wouldn't get with someone who took politics that seriously in the first place. Politicians are all corrupt, they're all in it for themselves and none of them care about the people they are supposed to serve, so being passionate about any of them is naive and pretty much setting yourself up for disappointment.

yeah this for me also.
 
You have to have a completely different world view to support Trump. Pretty sure that would be difficult to overcome in a relationship.

That said, you would imagine such differences would have manifested earlier.
 
Not surprised, there are plenty of US forums i frequent, and I've never seen them as divided or in utter hate of the opposing view.
If a man and woman are politically opposed Trump does seem to supercharge views and the divisions will become evident.
 
Pretty sure plenty of people voted Trump without necessarily endorsing all of his views. They just saw the alternative as less appealing. Bit like over here, you vote for the least crap option from your perspective.

I deal with people in the big cities and also rural USA frequently which is always interesting. I wouldn't demonise anyone either way. Two completely different bubbles with no understanding of the other. :)

There's also the matter of agreeing on what his views are. If you follow some mass media and frequent numerous online echo chambers, you'll believe Trump is a White Nationalist KKK-supporting election-stealing monster. And deny anything to the contrary. I remember a photo of Trump with a KKK member - hundreds of thousands of retweets. I posted the original which showed he was actually standing next to a Black guy at the time who had been photoshopped out and replaced with the KKK member. Got maybe a thousand retweets and probably mostly by different people who'd retweeted the fake version. One person actually replied to say it was right to fake evidence of him being racist because otherwise people might not believe he was.

They live in a different reality and can't see any contradiction other than racists trying to trick them.
 
Trump has no views, he's literally just an empty angry old man who's lost his youth, and probably his money.

He will take any view that his immediate "advisors" give him.
