My mom pretty much had an existential crisis over this when she made a friend at work and her husband turned out to be Trump supporter. And this is in Canada. It makes you wonder where girls like that even find guys like that.
Trump supporters in Canada are especially stupid.
When you’ve been conditioned all your life by society (and conservatives) to believe that your primary function is to be a baby factory, and you know you only have a finite amount of time to be a baby factory before you’re old and busted and cast aside, you do whatever you can to land someone stable enough to marry, regardless of their politics.
Define “stable”.
Enough to marry
So I guess capable of answering “I do” when asked a question would be stable enough
This is going to come as a shock to some folks but people don’t need to have the same politics to get along.
My wife is more conservative than me. We don’t spend much time talking about politics and avoid being dicks to each other. When elections roll around we go to the polls and I’m sure cancel out each other’s votes for a bunch of candidates.
When you and another person believe that there’s more to life than politics it’s easy to not get hung up on them when it comes to personal relationships. When you or the other person allow politics to dominate your life it isn’t.
If these people are in your social circle it says more about you than “average” straight people.
I want that shirt

The fuck I wouldn’t
I’m at an absolute loss as to what this is

I know some fuckers out there definitely would
For some reason I’m reminded of a local house that flies both the Confederate and Pride flags.
They aren’t mutually exclusive flags, so I have to wonder if it is one opinion, or many.
Could also be someone flying the flags because they think it’s a funny thing to do, entirely unrelated to the political statement.
Which I guess is a political statement in itself.
I certainly found it funny as fuck, my thought process was “ugh, a bigoted cun-wait???”
gay people can absolutely be bigoted
I used to work with a hispanic gay trump supporter who was also an evangelical Christian.
Just shows you how human beings are complicated, and so are our relationships.
They aren’t mutually exclusive flags
I wonder how the Confederates would have felt about Pride month.
Most people were not very accepting of “different” people back then, but maybe it was just not talked about. There were a ton of “confirmed bachelors” and plenty of women had “roommates”.
People in the North and South were not different. The North had a ton of racists who didn’t want to fight and die for “colored people”. There was a huge riot in NYC of people who didn’t want to be drafted. They killed black people they found for no reason.
I think the Union’s stake in the civil war was more about federal supremacy over the United States (which obviously goes without question in a federal system). Ending slavery was just a function of that goal. I say this as someone who grew up in the southwest and is wholly committed to the authority of the federal government over individual states because that is obviously the system outlined in the constitution.
Of course “The North” was just as racist and still is just as shitty and racist as every other part of this country.
P.S. “The South” can suck it as a name, I propose a better title for former confederate states: The Losers (since it seems a certain demographic therein needs reminding).
Sure, the North wanted consolidation. Of course the only reason the south seceded was because the federation said no more slaves
Many of the people in the North were as racist as the South, but the government was less so
I don’t know what you are saying other than exactly what I said. Also The Federation isn’t a government yet, you’re about 140 years too early.
What did the south secede from?
pretty sure it wasn’t The Federation.
A huge part of that riot was the Irish who were fresh off the boat from the potato famine and we’re not pleased that they had escaped one hell and we’re going to be drafted to a war they didn’t care about.
itt, people this shitpost is about
It’s a meme that hits hard
What even is this? This is theleftcantmeme tier shit.
What even is this?
A shitpost.
You projected politics onto it. Being racist or condemning racism is apolitical.
Salon.com has nothing to do with racism either. It’s just a known progressive news website they’re referencing to imply they have opposing political views.
Blunt version: straight male bad, conservative = racist
I’m actually kind of curious how you’re interpreting this comic though

Nah, progressive racism is well meaning misguided white savior sort of shit, like “if we cut welfare all the black people will starve!”
Yeah but if a progressive doesn’t say that shit, they ironically get called racist by those with bluer hair than their own
I’d rather be called a racist than be a racist
I’d rather I didn’t have to choose
