I agree with some of his views because he isn’t a monster

I don’t think it’s valid to want to stay clear of me just because of who I’m dating. He himself doesn’t understand why we can’t just live peacefully as a two party system. He has good morals we just don’t agree with some aspects of each other but I’m a moderate and he’s not so we do have beliefs. And also beliefs are personal and shouldn’t need to be a friends first question about a guy

He’s pro choice, he’s pro gay, he’s not racist, he doesn’t like the notion of transgender and I respect people’s pronouns and will use them. That’s mostly our day to day concerns and I voice mine when necessary it’s not a major issue

Well, we can’t really live peacefully as a two party system with everything going on in our country right now. Like I said, certain political beliefs can reflect a person’s morals and values, and when it comes to friendships or relationships, people usually want to share similar values. Just like you feel it’s okay to date him despite having different views, your friends might also feel it’s okay to distance themselves because of those same beliefs and values.

It’s not a major issue for you, but it might be different for other people, like your friends. And if it comes down to them deciding they don’t want to talk to you because of it, that’s based on their own values and beliefs. You can’t really expect someone to be comfortable being friends with a person who’s in a relationship with someone whose views they might strongly disagree with.

But if they do decide to distance themselves from you because of it, you have to understand that they may not agree with the same things you do. And if your values don’t align, then maybe you just weren’t meant to be friends in the first place. Not saying it’s necessarily okay, but I can understand not wanting to be friends with someone who surrounds themselves with beliefs or people you strongly disagree with politically

If he’s voting for Trump he is none of those things and I’m not gonna sugar coat that. This administration is disgusting and anyone who loves them as of now are the same. I’ve cut off friends from elementary school who support him cause you are supporting racism, taking away women’s rights, taking away minorities rights, taking away gay and trans rights. There is no excuse. It’s just trying to hide their hate.
