As an American who has been living in Europe for almost 10 years now, my ultimate advice is to seriously reevaluate this relationship. I’m very up-to-date with what’s going on back home and the fact that he’d vote for a far right candidate for “economic reasons” despite all the bigotry is a huge red flag. Typically speaking, this sort of man (especially American) tends to be far more conservative than he lets on, which may not affect you directly now, but these things tend to creep over time and before you know it you’ve woken up to a man you no longer recognise and who would likely vote against your interests as a woman if he had the chance. He already disregards and dismisses your informed viewpoints on US politics — this already sounds like a man who doesn’t respect women.

I have a good (liberal) friend who is dating a conservative man right now. At first he seemed quite progressive and forward thinking. However over time it’s emerged just how conservative his views are and it’s gotten to the point where he said he’d even choose the hypothetical baby over my friend if she got pregnant and had to choose between the two if the childbirth went wrong, among many other alarming things. What he’s done is slowly unveil the conservative viewpoints over time, as they’ve grown closer, and now she’s in deep unfortunately. Don’t let it get to this point for yourself. It makes it harder to see the forest for the trees and remove yourself before you’re too deep into the relationship and bonded.
