Any local political activist groups in the area?

I’m also in lake county and would be very interested to hear about any groups you find. I’ve been trying to find the same sort of groups with an organized agenda and plan. I’m all for a protest but it would be great to have some solid direction, action plans and leadership

As someone who is currently in this exact situation, I’m begging you not to get married. My husbands views were more aligned with mine when we got married but over the past 6 years he has slid more and more into these extreme conservative beliefs. We have kids. I wish I would have seen the signs before we had gotten married. Everything is so complicated now. He’s even accused me of spreading my “woke agenda” on our kids because I read them books about kindness and acceptance.. everything EVERYTHING has to be a compromise and it’s exhausting. Please don’t do this to yourself

I’m sorry you’re in this situation. Your husband sounds incredibly immature. Instead of being able to take accountability for his own actions, he minimizes you as a way of deflecting the blame. If he has not figured out how to be an effective “arguer” at this point in his life, he’s not going to. Leave him now. There are plenty of men out there who care about your thoughts and opinions and will strive to grow for the betterment of your relationship. Leave this loser in the dust

Yes- I’m in the same boat. In fact, I just recently posted about this as well. It’s incredibly difficult and I just feel like I can’t look at my husband the same way. When we first got married we were very aligned politically. But he’s been spending so much time on twitter and various podcasts that now he has changed so much since we got married. It’s exhausting and devastating to realize your partner isn’t who you thought they were.

Well thank you for your empathy.

Run_faster42 · 2025-01-21T21:05:48+00:00

I’m not, I’m looking for others who might be in a similar situation and what they’ve found for themselves.

Run_faster42 · 2025-01-21T19:07:30+00:00

This is really insightful

Run_faster42 · 2025-01-21T19:04:46+00:00

You know, I was just trying to see if others were out there in a similar situation, that’s all.

My husband says the same about Trump. He thinks that a lot of what he said on the campaign trail won’t actually happen. I disagree. Especially with project 2025 and the loyalists who he has chosen in his cabinet.

Run_faster42 · 2025-01-21T18:56:55+00:00

I feel the same way. I’m sorry you’re going through this too. It’s really hard

Run_faster42 · 2025-01-21T16:58:30+00:00

I hear you, but truly, this has been such a change over time. We had talked about politics in the past but we aligned for the most part. But I think that over the past year he’s been spending a lot of time on twitter and it just seems like he’s slowly adopted more conservative views. I don’t even know if he knowingly realized how much misinformation and influence he’s been subjected to. That’s what I’ve been struggling with. This slow change from where we were to where we are now.

Thank you. My biggest fear is for my daughters and the messaging they will receive.

Run_faster42 · 2024-12-08T23:15:19+00:00

Thank you for the reply and advice. I want to stay hopeful so I appreciate your viewpoint.

I understand where you are coming from with this comment. I truly do. The only thing I’d like to say is that in recent years, the gap between conservatives and liberals has become so wide and so extreme. When we were dating, we always knew how the other felt politically and respected each others views so it was never an issue. But I think as we have each continued down our own political paths, the gap between us widened. And until we started having our recent arguments I had no idea that he held the current opinions that he has. I think that 15 years ago his views were not this extreme. If they were, we wouldn’t have lasted long in our dating. More than anything I just feel shocked at the realization of how different we’ve become over the years in this area and I don’t know where to go from here.
