So what’s the problem? There isn’t one if you’re being treated right and he’s being respectful to you and your friends like you said. Only if that starts to affect the way that he treats you do you leave. Sounds like you just learned a fun fact today.

Have a sit down conversation about it. And just be honest get to know the root of each cause and understand that some of the things each other believes or has to say may not make sense to you but if you want to do more or learn more about that take the time to learn why

there is absolutely no problem with having different political views in a relationship that’s the whole point of opinions not everyone has to have the same opinion as you and you definitely don’t need to hate someone or breakup over different opinions ESPECIALLY if he treats you right. not something i’d throw away over an opinion just have a talk about how yall have different views on things don’t make it a fight opinions is how the world works everyone is different and in their own way and that

My boyfriend met my family for the first time on the 4th and was upset to find out Trump was visiting his hometown and he missed it.

It sounds like he’s not a complete lost cause but this relationship may be on borrowed time

Abortion for one. Secondly, maybe you’re a traditional conservative, but if you’re not and instead you’re MAGA then a large amount of your party perpetuates infringing sovereignty of other nations and higher surveillance of its citizens. Palintir contracts with government through trump admin. Assistance in bombing of Iran and Lebanon. If you’re a MAGA own up to what you are. If you cannot see this, I won’t be responding to someone who plays dumb

Palantir is not a surveillance company. They are data analytics software as a service vendor. Their biggest customer is the us government but their software is also used by the healthcare industry, and several others. Palantir doesn’t even collect data. The customer brings their own data. I actually have a license to their software and it’s pretty cool but it is not what people make it out to be. Flock on the other hand …

Exactly! Too many people on both sides just don’t even want to speak to each other. Go talk to someone who has a different opinion than you. You are likely to find that you agree on more than you don’t. Democrats and Republicans often want the exact same thing they just fight over how to get to a goal.

I’m not glazing them. I have used their products myself. They are not as impressive as they are made out to be. Flock is absolutely fucking evil.

update: we talked about it and he said that because he is a man, it isn't up to him and never should be (thank god). in other words he is just pro life in his opinions, but understands other circumstances/situations and why one may get an abortion, and would never want to prevent anyone from having a choice. safe to say we are good now
