Been married 37 years now. Spouse still thinks voting makes a difference. Still thinks there is hope in America. Still watches Tucker and believes in muh ‘merica. We agree on a lot, but recently (last 3 years) I’ve seen a big separation on agreement politically. Maybe I’m the fucked up one, but he (yes, he) has always been an optimist. And no, it’s not a gay marriage. I’m a female. But this evening, he was so vitriolic about how negative I am. Said some things to me that, as I type this, makes cry. So hurtful. We are traditional, but damn. Wake up man.

Throw out the TV (at least turn off the news) and get off social media. It’s amazing how quickly you forget that politicians even exist when you’re not constantly putting them in your own face.

I don’t think that everyone should be willfully ignorant but if you’ve been married 37 years then you’re likely old enough that you won’t be fighting in the revolution. Just live your life and be happy, if politics is the only wedge you’re experiencing then it’s easy enough to make it nonexistent

Fighting doesn't have to be physical. Many other ways to fight.

Sure, but if you had to choose between posting flyers/memes or being happy in your 37 year marriage, what would you choose? It’s worth taking people’s life circumstances into account when levying expectations
