Mind you, it does work for some people to have different political views and still have a decent relationship. I just think if that's a problem for you, you should address it pretty early on. Just be straightforward and say something like, 'Hey, I hate taxes, love guns, and am a freedom-loving patriot. There are women like Sarah Palin and Lauren Boebert out there, so even if you are a rightwinger there is hope (at least in that regard).

Thinking about it, it's pretty common for right-wingers to hide their power level because they are afraid of even the slightest pushback. When frankly, unless you are a literal fascist, you can do just fine in most situations, jobs, etc.

Considering my political views are somewhere between the Joker and Posadas, I do have to be "somewhat" flexible with the politics of my partner.

My partner is an anarchist for crying out loud and we make things work.

I too am in a cross-religious relationship. A certain amount of political diversity is fine so long as the other partner isn't any flavor of fascist.

I hate taxes

i read texas here and was wondering why the first point was based sicko-wistful

Me but I'm a communist living in Poland and even suggesting abortion rights gives you side eyes. :^)

I love this place

spoilerI really don't.

[-] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 42 points 3 months ago

Yeah, I wanted to visit my grandpa's home country, but I guess there's a reason he left after fighting the nazis.

[-] Mokey@hexbear.net 41 points 3 months ago

i've developed some really negative feelings towards eastern european ex-pats due to how many of them are bigoted fascists

[-] Mokey@hexbear.net 36 points 3 months ago

why the fuck does anyone hate gay people its so fucking stupid and i hate that this tiny group of people has to suffer for literally no reason and deal with the most 'im not a traumatized small minded person' douchebags ever. let gay people be gay ffs

[-] Seasonal_Peace@hexbear.net 26 points 3 months ago

Why is it like that? I know two "ex-pats" from serbia that are exactly like that.

[-] Collatz_problem@hexbear.net 28 points 3 months ago

Left-wing people don't tend to emigrate to USA.

Not weird at all, this is an extremely common marriage dynamic. Many people especially from earlier generations (genx and older) took a very apolitical stance when it came to finding a partner. Some of it is the privilege they enjoy where politics doesn’t directly affect them, some of it is the submissive wife trope where her sociopolitical opinions aren’t important and she is just expected to fall in line behind the man.

[-] Greenleaf@hexbear.net 37 points 3 months ago

There was a whole thing when I was younger about celebrity couples where one was a democrat and the other was a republican, and the message was “see they can make it work”.

Leaving out just how closely aligned their politics actually are given their class position, the political party is just window dressing.

[-] nothx@hexbear.net 23 points 3 months ago

Yea, I definitely remember that. It was a whole gotcha moment that I didn’t realize until much much later was just propaganda.

Also a lot of "cant have sex out of wedlock or else maw maw gets big mad" and these guys have no clue how to use birth control so they can't even pretend to be celibate when their partner ends up pregnant.

[-] nothx@hexbear.net 23 points 3 months ago

Yeah there is also plenty of that. As well as general sunk-cost fallacy.

[-] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 82 points 3 months ago

You know someone is proud of their views when they hide those views from their partner

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 60 points 3 months ago

Yeah that's what stood out to me: the relationship didn't fail because you have different political views, it failed because it was built on deceit!

[-] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 24 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I don't think they'll ever be able to comprehend that.

removed wife bad.

Edit: Haha Word was a nationalist Feminist that men hate.

[-] Kuori@hexbear.net 69 points 3 months ago

lying about your conservative politics to date women should count as some kind of assault

they wouldn't have married you if they knew you didn't see them as people (i know some would, but shhh)

[-] ashinadash@hexbear.net 31 points 3 months ago

Conservative Panic Defense, where women don't get charged with murder if they killed a guy after finding out he's a rightwinger sicko-wistful

Yeah I was getting a lot of gay poly vibes from that post.

E: typo

[-] MaoTheLawn@hexbear.net 66 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

My partner is an intelligent well-meaning liberal (in comparison to me, a terrible, ill-hearted Leninist).

Political violence is our only major disagreement.

She isn't a fan of the fact that if I ever get a terminal disease then it might be adventure-time for me.

If anything this indicates just how low cishet womens standards are in amerika.

[-] SuperZutsuki@hexbear.net 49 points 3 months ago

The bar is in hell and all of society expects women to be subservient and accept constant abuse. It's nearly impossible to live alone unless you're rich and many give in to have a small amount of financial comfort

I'm a Stalin and Mao loving tankie who has happily been in a relationship with an anarchist for almost 2 years. I guess the left just does relationships better. left-unity-3

[-] Pili@hexbear.net 28 points 3 months ago

ML and anarchist at least share the same values. Democrats and republican, even though they are both shitlibs, are doomed to annoy each other all the time.

Constantly innovating brave new ways to be diverse. (that was supposed to be divorced)

[-] BodyBySisyphus@hexbear.net 43 points 3 months ago

My partner and I started out with similar politics but have gradually stopped talking about it as I've veered leftward. She wasn't super interested in hearing about the case for voting uncommitted in the primary. I've been wondering about the long term implications but feel like she might be receptive to communism after this shit show of an election

[-] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 37 points 3 months ago

Don't just spring it on her. Gotta get her with good communist propaganda. Watch Damnation, any thing by Boots Riley, then Parenti and Chill.

What's more pathetic, guys like this going on twitter to brag about their wives leaving them because they are red-pilled, or guys who attend male "boot camps" to get into shape so their wife will come back and let them see the kids?

I was gonna bully cisgender heterosexuals here but tbh I'm a fan of these Miserable Liberal Wives ditching their Republican Outlaw Warrior failhusbands. Lmao.

[-] TerminalEncounter@hexbear.net 38 points 3 months ago

Maybe they can all join a commune and just love and support eachother instead!

[-] peeonyou@hexbear.net 37 points 3 months ago

A guy I work with just told me yesterday that his wife left him because he chose to work on the Obama campaign and declined to help get Hillary elected instead. The divorce process just started about 6 months ago. I feel like there is a ton more to the story for each one of these guys.

At this point I'm viewing it as a clinical study in the progression of fascism symptoms in the individual. Ah yes, 100% of subjects are approaching the Divorce Threshold, past which recovery chances drop to single digits.
