I could never have the opposite politics of my spouse. Sure, we may disagree slightly on some matters an nuance, but a world view in direct conflict with mine would be irreconcilable.

If we're talking about politics like loudness ordinances and funding for road projects and whether the fire department needs a millage we can share the same values or same values with different priority orders no problem on the different politics.
If we're talking about whether some people deserve rights or racism or if laws don't apply to some people then it's more than a politics difference, it's a values difference.
My partner is just slightly less left than me and I struggle with it some days. I can't even imagine trying to date someone on the other side.
Sometimes I think about dating again after so long, and I imagine my girlfriend wanting to wiretap our place with an Alexa in the kitchen.
My wife finally gave when the latest round of spying stuff happened. I've been trying to get around to building new ones for home assistant that all happen on prem, but there's a lot of knowledge gap there.

When politics felt like shades of policy disagreements I could see it. Now it is either you support democracy and human rights or you're supporting pedophiles and genocide. Not much common ground anymore.
The Overton window has been busy.
Is it a roadrunner? Is it a train? No it's the Overton window going 120 in the slow lane.
A politically charged tv channel with specifically that goal running for three generations will do that.
Most people vote for the pedophiles, though. Either through the ballot or with their wallet. They're in politics on all sides. They're in business. They're on the computer they use every day. The car they drive.
And human rights. Goes out the window the moment somebody has a bad case of the sniffles. Or when brown people can be blamed for pretty much anything and everything.
It's almost as if, the main problem isn't the corrupt deranged elite, but the system and boot lickers that uphold them.
Seriously I don't understand how some people can handle their best friend and roommate being a POS
- Fear of making near friends / difficulty making the new friends
- Actual naivety of thinking the POS behaviour doesn't matter
- Weirdly, peer pressure from other people? For instance you might want to distance yourself from one friend and you are then peer pressured to be in situations with them more often by the other friends, told to build your tolerance of them
... 1 + 2 also applies to romantic relationships!
Edit: just realised 'best friend AND roomate' is just a way of referring to a spouse. But there it is, there's the low-down in my opinion.

It's almost always that the girl is also a POS but knows she wouldn't have friends if she lived her truth.
Almost, but sometimes also they are just in an abusive relationship and haven't figured it out yet.
A lot of religious folks "don't believe in divorce." So even if the relationship isn't abusive, they may be incompatible as a couple but just stick with it.
Yeah, I once talked with a woman who spent several decades being married to a guy who was physically and emotionally abusive to her, but made it clear that she would never leave him because she had promised to stay with him for live at her wedding, but it was okay because things would be better in heaven for her anyway, but not so good for him.
It made me really sad...
That is literally heartbreaking and a prime example of why religion causes far more harm than good.

Bro is fighting daily to contain the slurs.
Must be containing them in his neck cus damn
"But I never heard him say racist things to me and my family"
That's my sister and husband.
your sister is your husband?
I think he means his sister reads salon and his husband is racist and also his husband and his sister are in a relationship too, it's a classic polycule isotope.

they're very close
Saaaame. Dude would 100% support loading me into a train to the camps in the right circumstances.
"He makes me feel safe"
"By making others feel unsafe"
Is salon conservative? Liberal? Something else? Im not really getting the joke here.
I think the point is that she's just a normal women, sharing uncontroversial articles. And there is this other half of the couple you just wonder about how someone could possibly see something in let alone put up with him.
I'm personally reminded of the parents of a childhood acquaintance, with a nice mom and a father that couldn't even be asked to close the bathroom door when guest were there.
I read it more as that you can not talk to her about anything but beauty products, so she doesn't have the capacity to comprehend how much of an asshole her other half is
The lady probably feels the same way, she just knows better than to be honest about it because she's better socialised.
a third of hetero males in hetero relationships are the most racist man alive?
Recent US election results don't contradict the assertion.
If we're going off election results it would be nearly two thirds of white men and more than half of white women so YMMV depending on which part of the country you're in.
They made a lot of those T-Shirts, they were on sale at Walmart, 14 for $0.88
14 for $0.88
I see what you did there!
All those men also look exactly like that
hyperbole
That's a band name
theres a band named "a third of hetero males in hetero relationships are the most racist man alive?"?
I need that shirt.
