I have been spending the holidays with my fiance’s family. All of them are die hard trump supporters. This town they live in, are all die hard trump supporters.
We went out to a restaurant with my fiance’s parents and their friends. When it came time to pay their friends whipped out their cards and showed the table. Each card had a sticker delicately placed, the content of the stickers were of donald trump in many different contexts. Djt as a dollar bill, djt wearing a fake mustache at his mugshot, djt assasination attempt, etc. I was absolutely appalled. Then the waiter came over and I was expecting to see him perturbed as well. Nope. He wanted one and asked if they had anymore. They then gave him one and helped him put it on. In the middle of his shift.
Obviously trump is fucking disgusting in more ways than one. What baffles me is how you can flagrantly carry around a proven rapist in your wallet when you are a woman, not just a woman but a woman of color. Which the friend waving this dipshit around and making the stickers is.
I mean this man has literally talked about immigrants “poisoning the blood of this nation”. These are actual fucking people he talks about and demonizes. People with families, lives, and friends. All that care just gets thrown out the window with these people.
I hate living in trump country, because I feel like I am losing my mind when everyone around me is flaunting him like their own son who graduated as validictorian. As if these people are part of his club. When he is one of the most disgusting individuals I have had the displeasure of hearing about for over 8 years going on 12 now. How can you be so ignorant? Every passing day in this state I understand more and more how Hitler gripped the minds of the masses and came into power so easily. People are so fucking stupid.
Please for my sanity, I need to talk to people who know this monster for who he truly is. How do you cope being in a similar situation? How do you speak up?
It sounds like you’re marrying into a family that you heavily despise, but that is the narrow opinion of a random internet stranger.
I empathize with your situation, but I would strongly recommend against seeking random advice from internet strangers, even if there appear to be no other alternatives. Random advice is often worse than no advice; Coincidentally, that is the path many took to become MAGA - do not make their same mistake.
Nah my fiance is just like me when it comes to politics, situations like these, etc. She is The perfect partner. She is also navigate this situation with her parents because she loves them but hates their beliefs.
I appreciate your advice, I will be dilligent in this comment section. I think for the most part I am just looking for conversation with people who actually try and critically think. Due to being surrounded by people who seem to just shut off their brain. I feel like I am losing my sanity.
Thank you for your comment kind stranger.
