Our friends husband teld her he voted Trump.

It was one big nail in the coffin of that marriage.

Anyone who voted for trump deserves to get divorced. The lack of morals, the lack of basic human empathy is present in all trump voters.

Even in the best case scenario of a well-intentioned-but-ignorant person that didn't think critically about what a Trump vote meant, I still wouldn't want to be married to a fool.

You've gotta use your brain if you want to ride this train.

You can't use that excuse for the last election though.

Nope. This time, everyone knew what voting for Trump meant, so they're either irredeemably evil or irredeemably stupid (or both).

How would I not know the political views of my husband?

[–] burgerpocalyse@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago

there are entire departments at companies trying to turn people into insane conservatives

It's possible that his views were conflicted.

I have family whose politics I understand pretty well, and I don't know who they voted for. What I do know is that they were torn between: "Trump's blatant antisemitism is a danger to us here in America" and "Trump is good for Israel".

Ouch, two reasons not to vote for Trump, IMO...

Genocide the natives and take their land? It does sound very American to be fair.

[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

... can't argue with that

[–] homura1650@lemmy.world 0 points 3 days ago (1 children)

As far as I'm concerned they're there the same reason; ethnonationalism is a coherent ideology. But explaining that to them is not going to get me anywhere.

[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Coherent is not equivalent to morally correct.

Oh lol I know someone like this. My (older) brother hates black people, but he is also smart enough to vote for Harris because we weren't born here and he doesn't want to be on the receiving end of racism. Now that's what I assumed anyways, he never told me who he voted for. But he spoke against trump and said he's a racist and doesn't like trump, and spoke positively of Biden, saying that "at least Biden didn't use Asian Americans as scapegoats [referring to covid], while that's what trump did", but he also refuse to recognize that he (my brother) himself is a racist lol.

People are so weird.

Yeah, not communicating enough with your spouse to know their political beliefs would be a major red flag. That in itself should be the final nail in the coffin.
