45% of eligible women voted for Trump. Do not give them a free pass.

Divorce your Republican wife

I would. People with no empathy can't be trusted

Needs to be amended slightly: "...while it still legal to do so"

[–] Pulptastic@midwest.social 72 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Divorce your republican partner. More accurate and more inflammatory.

[–] tenchiken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 26 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And the chosen wording will piss them off even more.

Most of those chucklefucks don't consider their spouse a partner.

Incoming "Integrity of Families Act" to prevent women from getting a divorce in 5... 4....

[–] Schadrach@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Realistically they don't want to ban divorce. They probably do want to ban no fault divorce though, and require you to demonstrate a "good" reason to divorce such as infidelity or abuse.

[–] jj4211@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

While making it somehow easier for the man to have a good reason than the woman.

They also said they don't want to federally ban abortion and now they're talking about that

I’m more progressive/leftist than my wife. It may not be common but there’s probably many like me.

Divorce your republican wife, marry a femboy that eats your pancakes every morning and call him a good boy

[–] PanArab@lemm.ee 22 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Inshallah. I have told my wife once that this is exactly what I will do if we ever get a divorce.

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 month ago

I'm divorcing mine...

Instead of focusing on hate, people need to be trying to court the people they've driven into voting for republicans in the first place; find common ground - don't just scream at them because they might have a difference of opinion.

You MADE me be a Nazi, so now you have to be nice to me until I understand why being a Nazi is bad!

That's not how it works

You think that we elected a hateful criminal predator, TWICE, primarily because Democrat supporters were not nice enough when begging them to save our country?

Hmm, though I guess it’s true that any time I’ve seen stories ranging from rolling coal in people’s faces to ripping people with brown skin out of their established communities, there are those damn leftists and progressives doing CRITICISM and even sometimes using BAD WORDS!

I think you might just be buying into some bad faith arguments rooted in the paradox of tolerance.

Dude... You're about 10 years too late on this sentiment. We tried it before and all we got was screamed at and mocked. Patience ran out and yet more was always demanded "You shouldn't be upset when we call you pedos, learn to take a joke, you are so weak with your mamby pamby kumbaya bullshit. Come to dinner, shut up and let us get away with ruining your mental health over and over and over... " Constantly being asked, dickered reall, to put up with this behavior and be all peace and love so that there never be any consequences.

A lot of us learned that the only way people will learn is if they stick their hand on the burner of the stove themselves. We tried dialogue, we tried appeals to empathy we tried to lead them gently away but you know what? All we did was waste our time and patience and those resources are not endless. Now after all the harm they've done to us directly and independently they come to us with burnt hands now that they are the ones effected and they want us to kiss it all better.

This isn't a "difference of opinion" they fucking burnt us over and over and yes, we'll forgive them because we need them to do something useful for a change but if they valued us and our health and well-being like we cared enough about theirs to try so hard for so damned long to get through to them then maybe they would have grace. So if you are the freshly burned, welcome to the movement, a lot of us are not interested in cooing over your wounds and making you feel good because we're past that.

At this point if supporters are still clinging to the identity they made as supporters then it's legitimately dangerous to court them. They are authoritarians who have spent the past decade programmed to dismiss every source and citation outside their own as illegitimate and to pervert debate into stupid circus tricks. They are a waste of our time because every minute spent arguing with brick walls is a minute that could be spent bypassing them and organizing to mount a resistance.

While it's true the best way to deradicalize is to keep a line of communication open and leave them a path out it's only viable if they actually valued you already. If you think you can get someone out all the power to you but the time is past for new applications and appeals to be nice. Nice got us here.
