I see your point And I don’t think people understand that it’s tough to completely ignore your fiancé’s friend’s wife Like I know it looks bad that they’re friendly and I certainly wouldn’t want to be associated with a trumpie, but i don’t think it’s my place to assume it would be easy for her to cut her out completely

Yeah I totally agree - and as an athlete I can say that teammate bonds are really tight and often have little to do with intellectual fit/shared opinions - you’re bonded over your mutual love to the sport and shared goals. So it totally makes sense why Travis would be close to him and since Taylor loves Travis and is a part of his life of course she would try to be friendly with his wife. Not everything is politics and I’m sure they can find some common ground on other things :)

“not everything is politics” and that’s fine, she’s a white woman after all. but for some people, it’s not JUST politics.

I’m gonna break it down even simpler for you, simpler example even My partner and I have the same believes and values His family unfortunately votes very differently than my partner and I Do I get to cut them out completely? No. I choose him, so I’m stuck with the family. If Taylor chose Travis, she chose his family too. And his sports people are his family, cause that’s how close teams get. Does that make more sense? Genuinely asking

You can choose who you associate with and who you don’t. No one’s stopping you Some of us, though, are choosing to appease our loved ones because it’s part of compromise

i personally would never compromise my beliefs and values. i would say it makes sense, in a way. not my cup of tea, but to each their own.

Hey so I’m not compromising my values or beliefs. I just don’t think it’s fair to my partner to say “fuck your family, I’m never talking to them again” In fact, knowing how they believe makes me feel even stronger about what i believe in Does that not make sense to you?

Do not act like you’re better than me. I just don’t have the luxury you have where everyone in your life fits perfectly to how you want them to be Some of us have to deal with people we don’t want to deal with. It’s not compromising our beliefs. Get over yourself.

I’ve cut out MANY people I used to be friends with after discovering their fucked up views- it’s different when they literally raised the person you want to spend the rest of your life with. You don’t get to unfollow and block those people You invite them to your wedding anyway & you stick to your beliefs anyway

i’m not acting like i’m better than you, i’m just saying. i never said i had the luxury to where everyone fits perfectly into my beliefs, i just happen to be surrounded by people who all have the same beliefs as i do. i actively continue to choose not to surround myself with people who do not agree with equity or equality for all. like i said, to each their own

I surround myself with people who agree with equity and equality for all as well.
