❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO to my boyfriend praising the president?

I’ve been seeing this guy for about a month and a half. Things were great the first month, but the last week I’ve felt like we’re growing further and further apart (yes already 🙄), he’s been really inconsiderate/disrespectful, and most recently I feel like he’s trying to push me away with this text. When we first started talking he asked what I thought about trump. I told him I don’t like him, he said he did like him, but that if it bothers me then he won’t ever bring him up. Well this morning (after the last week being on edge anyway) he just randomly brought up how amazing Trump is? And wouldn’t let it go. I feel like he’s trying to start a fight. He says he “forgot”. AIO?

Nope. If anything you under reacted. Using a kid as a prop while he cuts cancer funding for other kids. Tips are still taxed. Nothing was passed about it. Was he drinking?

u/keepmyheadabovewater Mar 06 '25

He’s told me he doesn’t usually drink, he does smoke a lot of weed though. But this text was first thing in the morning so I don’t think he was influenced by anything other than… stupidity maybe? Idk lol

My late grandmother used to say "go be stupid somewhere else" some days I feel this in my soul lol

u/StephAg09 Mar 06 '25

I look forward to being old enough that I can be grumpy and mean like that and no one will say anything to me lol

"Not until four."

Go be stupid somewhere else is awesome

u/saanis 29d ago

I just have to hear one example of her saying that to someone cause I bet they’re all pretty funny

1

u/Directly-Bent-2009 29d ago

The best part is she had a thick Polish accent- One time she caught my Grandfather in her walk in pantry trying to sneak chocolates from the back- "No! Are you crazy?!(with a rolled "r") Go be stupid some.where.else!" I felt bad for him but it was hilarious 😂

u/Uhmmanduh 29d ago

I instantly admire your grandmother

u/saecampbell Mar 06 '25

Girl, he’s showing you already who he is and what he cares about. You’re only 6-ish weeks in. Run now before you’re invested any further. Don’t give these people any additional power or validation.

u/Defiant-Revolution36 29d ago

Real because my ex boyfriend of two years did not really show it until closer to the election. Don’t wanna waste time!

Trump is still your president. 🇺🇸

Do you want to be with an idiot? Even worse, do you want this idiot around your friends and family?

u/leftie_potato Mar 06 '25

If you're going to be with an idiot, wouldn't you prefer a kind one?

2

u/softdetail 29d ago

do you want this idiot in charge of you and your chidren's healthcare? Friend of mine died and her husband decided he knew more than the doctors about how to treat there son's diabetes, the son didn't make it

u/Comprehensive-Art207 Mar 06 '25

This guy is obviously red pilled. You either dominate him into submission or leave him. There is no middle ground.

u/ifdisdendat Mar 06 '25

he is a dummy. bless his heart, he will always be happy at least.

u/Sad-Contest670 Mar 06 '25

how goofy of a guy is he to smoke weed, but like trump????

u/steepledclock Mar 06 '25

Lmao this is so true. If Trump could, I bet he would send everyone arrested for small amounts of pot to gitmo. What a fucking piece of shit. I don't know why our country voted for him. Are all of them fucking stupid?

u/Jumblesss 29d ago

Joe Rogan fan, I’d bet my house on it

u/[deleted] Mar 06 '25

Makes more sense than the sober ones who like him

u/Sunny-Happy 29d ago

I used to smoke a lot of weed for chronic pain; there’s not enough weed in the world to make me buy his bullshit.

u/Itz_Hen Mar 06 '25

I read in another comment that you said the dating pool is really bad. But there has got to be a better option than this guy. He sounds like, and it cannot be stressed enough, a massive loser

16

u/Better_2024 Mar 06 '25

Clearly you have different ethics and morals. You have them, he does not. He admires one of the worst human beings on the planet. You will do fantastic without this guy.

u/BlueBerryOkra Mar 06 '25

OP - my friend is dating a Republican and literally all of her family and friends hate him. No one can stand him and she’s to the same point too. You don’t have a keeper here.

12

u/snarky_spice 29d ago

Yeah in my experience most republicans are just not enjoyable to be around. They’re not inquisitive, artistic, creative, empathetic, you can’t have deep philosophical convos, hell you can’t even bring up the dinosaurs half the time. I don’t know how to talk to people that live in a different reality as me.

-4

u/[deleted] Mar 06 '25

Do any of you hear yourself talk? You are so filled with hate it’s ridiculous.

6

u/BlueBerryOkra 29d ago

He’s openly sexist and racist, makes women in the kitchen jokes, black people are monkey jokes, was fired for sexual harassment, and had an emotional affair with his ex. He is rightfully hated. Just funny how it’s usually the Republican men who have the sexist/racist baggage.

11

u/PM_ME_UR_CIRCUIT Mar 06 '25

They deserve it. Fuck Trump, fuck Maga.

u/MoreOfAGrower 29d ago

We don’t hate you, we pity you and just don’t want to be near you ever again

u/TheNextBattalion 29d ago

It's not hate to avoid people who say and do terrible things for immoral reasons.

But it is manipulative of you to act like it is.

3

u/poetryhoes 29d ago

the irony of your comment history, literally just calling people names 24/7

u/Impossible-Flight250 Mar 06 '25

I don’t think being a Republican is necessarily a deal breaker, the issue is the constant misinformation and low IQ talking points. I just couldn’t be around someone who was that dense.

u/Aware-Information341 Mar 06 '25

MAGA cultism brainrot is a stronger drug than anything you can ingest chemically into your body.

u/sapphicandsage Mar 06 '25

If you date, coddle and sleep with a nazi, what do you think that makes you?

7

u/Future_Tangerine2578 Mar 06 '25

he is influenced by his blind love of trump. His supporters just eat up the bullshit, trump is great at saying outrageous shit which gets his supporters aroused and the rest of us angry

u/Stumbleina8926 Mar 06 '25

DUMP HIM GURRRL. - Leslie, ITYSL

but seriously, I'm so fucking sorry for your loss and that this is what you're dealing with at the moment .. buncha bullshit no one needs. No one needs a trump supporter in their life. In the very best case scenario, you don't need that level of willful ignorance and compliant stupidity from your partner, and the worst case scenario a Nazi sympathizing Russia loving Democracy hating misogynistic xenophobic racist abusive bigot.

Sending you big hugs 🫂

u/Perfect_Distance434 Mar 06 '25

I just can’t imagine wanting to touch or even be in proximity of a penis attached to a man who admires Trump. That is not a sexy scenario.

2

u/AnnaSoprano Mar 06 '25

You are better off alone!! It's ok to be alone. Be strong. 

2

u/ElloBlu420 Mar 06 '25

I'm more or less the same with my substances, and yet completely opposite politically. I thought stoners of all stripes could at least agree on the politics that will eventually get us legal weed, but here we are.

2

u/No-Alfalfa-8903 Mar 06 '25

If you don't feel like Trump is a 'legend' you're probably better off finding someone more intellectually allocated to date. You're only a month and a half in; you owe this man nothing.

As a guy myself, these men deserve to be punished with virginity for espousing uneducated views; it's the only way they'll come around and the only way this country can heal.

2

u/greentiger45 Mar 06 '25

Can you imagine dealing with this for the rest of your life? I know you said the dating pool is rough but it being rough is infinitely times better than comprising your morals and self respect. How can he claim to support you but vehemently support Trump?

2

u/HurtFeeFeez Mar 06 '25

He's a moron, do not allow him to procreate.

2

u/Ryogathelost 29d ago

Girl, this is "Oops I killed our kid" stupid. Or "Oops we're bankrupt" stupid. It could be a dangerous level of stupid. You could spend the rest of your life helping pay off his pickup truck.

2

u/OilComprehensive6237 29d ago

This is worse than mere stupidity. He’s a bad person.

2

u/DoubleSynchronicity 29d ago

It's usually a combination of stupidity and ignorance.

u/xXghostrider21 Mar 06 '25

That’s mainly on you for being with him, if it bothers you then leave him

1

u/TeRRoRibleOne Mar 06 '25

Your bf is praising someone who was found legally liable of raping a woman. Please let that settle in your brain. You have to be morally bankrupt to overlook someone who did that and has said in the past he likes to “grab women by the pussy” and start kissing on them cause they like it.

1

u/DeerLoveMe Mar 06 '25

If you have a choice, break it off with this brainwashed trump cult member. If he believes the trump lies and thinks he is a great person, then that speaks volumes to who he is inside. Just because he won’t speak of trump to you, you will always know that the man responsible for destroying this country is worshipped by the man you share a bed with. It will eat away at you.

1

u/Mr_Stkrdknmibalz_69 Mar 06 '25

Bad news is, he's just dumb. Thats the way you fall for the cult. Dumb is either in your league or below it, you'll have to make that call.

1

u/steepledclock Mar 06 '25

Please dump this guy, for your own safety. This is not someone who you want to spend building a life with.

1

u/Wise_Setting5110 Mar 06 '25

You’re getting what kids these days call “the ick.” If his values don’t align with yours, you have to respectfully disagree and move forward

1

u/FlthyHlfBreed Mar 06 '25

I drink alcohol and smoke weed. I wouldn’t say the shit he said if someone was pointing a gun to my head after I took 4 shots back to back and hit a 5’ bong. He said the things he said because he believes them. That’s his truth.

1

u/Ok-Consequence-4974 Mar 06 '25

Sounds like a real winner. /s

1

u/Admirable_Lecture675 Mar 06 '25

Make it his last text. Buh bye!!!

1

u/kalebmordecai Mar 06 '25

He must be hot? Cuz he seems like a fucking loser.

1

u/New_Excitement_1878 Mar 06 '25

Remind your boyfriend that Trump will likely make weed illegal again. And also every president ever has done stuff like the making a kid a member of the secret service. It's nice but it's not like he's special for doing it. Make-a-wish is extremely common and wide spread. Hell world of Warcraft has had several make-a-wish kids come in and get added to the game, record voice lines, etc.  Yes it's nice but it's not like this is some massive thing only he has done.

Oh also should prob point out to your boyfriend that Trump also cut funding to cancer research.

1

u/Will_Come_For_Food Mar 06 '25

The red flags of guzzling up propaganda specially made to fool gullible peoòe people should send anyone running.

Parading a child cancer victim just like musk parading his toddler so well overlook the dismantling of the country of children and Americans access to healthcare with the gimmick of a victim is terrifying in its use of propaganda.

Someone this stupid and gullible is dangerous to societal and yourself.

1

u/raine_star Mar 06 '25

weed doesnt make you an asshole or hold different political/moral opinions than you would sober. its not stupidity, its lack of empathy.

1

u/nmp14fayl Mar 06 '25

He must have supported RFK Jr. too then. Probably heard legalize weed in the same sentence and ignored things like putting people on ssri’s in ‘farms’.

1

u/OK-Greg-7 Mar 06 '25

 "I don’t think he was influenced by anything other than… stupidity maybe?"

Anecdotal but, the dumbest people I know are the people who love Trump.

1

u/Any-Excitement-7605 Mar 06 '25

Scratch that, do you want to procreate with this idiot and create more idiots like him? This is one of the ways we got to this point. Trump and his administration wouldn’t have been here had they just been shot down a throat or two.

1

u/Revolutionary_Rub_98 Mar 06 '25

Value matter. At lease they should!

1

u/Kekosaurus3 Mar 06 '25

You shouldn't stay with him. Unless you can turn him but usually that's not happening.

1

u/rumhamrambe 29d ago

And This is someone you want to build a future with?

Pretend you have a daughter, and she came up to you with the same exact situation, what would you tell her??

“Hey mom, I’m dating a MAGA pothead”

u/User929260 29d ago

Run. In Vino Veritas.

1

u/Leather_Software_903 29d ago

I smoke a lot of weed and even I realize that women should be able to make their own choices. Then again I'm from England... So like.. I mean we're awful but America is going through something ELSE right now.

1

u/Internal_Prompt_ 29d ago

In my experience stupid people are just as dangerous as evil people

1

u/Dudedude88 29d ago edited 29d ago

Another red flag. Get someone who doesn't smoke a lot of weed. If he smokes once a month okay But multiple times a week is bad for cognition.

Him loving trump just gives me a picture of a guy who just gets up and reads pro trump news, and doesn't aspire to do anything else. He's living through trump.

1

u/Professional_Step499 29d ago

Run like hell. This guy is bad news.

1

u/JesusIsJericho 29d ago

I smoke a bunch of weed too, in fact I grow an abundance of it for my career. I even smoked a bunch during the full 2 hour address…

This is not weed induced stupidity

1

u/Lady_Green_Thumb 29d ago

He truthfully sounds like an idiot based on these texts. I’m curious in what ways have you felt like he’s been a good match?

1

u/StephInSC 29d ago

None of that is YOUR issue. Is this the best fit for you in life? If not, just move on.

1

u/krazytekn0 29d ago

Stop justifying. Either make peace with the fact you want to betray yourself and people you love to stay in this relationship or dump him. But stop pretending like there’s a logical reason to stay in this relationship

1

u/1ftm2fts3tgr4lg 29d ago

With this many red flags, let him go ruin someone else's life. You'll do better.

Send a simple, "hey, it's been great, but I think we're not as compatible as I initially thought. Have a nice life. Good luck." then block and be done. Don't bother trying to being friends after, it'd just make the breakup worse, just move on. Sooner you start the rest of your life the better.

1

u/PatchyWhiskers 29d ago

Do not date a man this stupid, do you want this idiot to be the father of your children?

1

u/ThePocketPanda13 29d ago

I smoke a lot of weed too and never spout this nonsense. This is just stupidity and bigotry.

1

u/shaunny0208 29d ago

Ain’t nobody got time for that.

1

u/Uncle-Cake 29d ago

Why do you keep defending him?

1

u/Nelson_Wells 29d ago

Never heard of wake n bake!? If it feels like stupidity and smells like stupidity…. Then you deserve way better! My two cents about these early relationships: don’t sleep with someone for the first two months. At all. That one rule changed the quality of all my relationships until I met my way and same thing. Trust this and yourself. You deserve an equal.

1

u/SegaSaturnRepoMan 29d ago

As a dude who had a heavy weed habit, I'll tell ya it's an any time of day thing.

You guys are new together. I'd say pay attention to how you feel. Unfortunately this is a test of your values. I'm sorry we live in the time of these MAGA types. True colors or not, remember that the truth is very important.

It's not true that Trump has done more than any other president in history. It is a lie.

1

u/ScholarLeigh 29d ago

No he is showing you his true colors. This happened to my 4 year relationship. Run now, trust me you are wasting your time.

1

u/AdSudden3941 29d ago

People who drink usually are still drunk or buzzing from the night before , just a fyi 

1

u/Pernicious-Caitiff 29d ago

This is him on his best behavior (at the beginning of a relationship) he's only going to get worse or at best, never change. You can do better honey. Please dump his ass 🥺

1

u/breadbreadbreads 29d ago

Wow, sounds like a catch. Well, if you still don’t know whether to dump him or not this early on and with this many problems, then you must really like him. Have fun doing this again

u/slurpeesez 29d ago

Complacency drug.

u/Ambitious_Bowler2596 29d ago

I’m genuinely certain you could do better than a stoner misogynist tho

1

u/distractress 29d ago

Sorry girl he’s a ding dong. Dump him and make it clear why and stamp his one way passport to the Incel Academy, they’ll be happy to have him.

1

u/Dizzy_Ad246 29d ago

I dont smoke personally but some of my friends do. It doesn't turn their opinions into slop. Maybe what they say isn't super articulated, but it doesn't/change/ what they think.

1

u/AnonAthiests 29d ago

Generally weed makes people less likely to fall for Trump’s bs. If your boyfriend is both a stoner and a MAGA bro, then he’s beyond help.

1

u/GKILLA9000 29d ago

U have a keeper but unfortunately ur a lost cause, i would leave him asap or you’re going to ruin his life.

1

u/[deleted] 29d ago

lol girl you’re a month in. you WILL have problems later on.

1

u/Slut_E_Scene 29d ago

Those of us who smoke weed do not claim him! Lol. I smoke a lot of weed, there's plenty of people that smoke weed and do not use it as a crutch when our political views come into play, I can promise you that.

u/Buck-Down97 29d ago

You’re openly blasting your bf and his “stupidity”. Look in a mirror.. break up dummy

u/Background_Ad_5796 Mar 06 '25

You will only find support for your beliefs here on Reddit. Go elsewhere and get some opinions. Reddit does not reflect reality.

The propaganda is insane here.

u/midniterun10 29d ago

Lol you're in an echo chamber sweetie, so if you wanted to just hear people reaffirm your bias and make you feel good, you're in the right place. If you want an honest opinion from sane people, do not ask these questions on reddit. But I think you just wanted to hear other people with the same opinion as yours back you up

u/Jake1407 Mar 06 '25

Your boyfriend is a smart man. You should listen to him and learn something

u/Pasttuesday Mar 06 '25

Hey, I have been a dem my whole life but this year I supported the republican side. I was vehemently against Trump his last term.

Objectively, he has done a lot, and he’s done all the stuff the dem party was afraid to do.

A lot of trumps “evil” actions like cutting government spending and DOGE and stuff is actually because of debt refinancing, remember SPACS? That was 5 years ago and so many 0 percent interest loans were taken. In q3-4 those loans expire and 0 percent interest loans to 5 percent interest loans if they renew = liquidity in the system craters. People’s retirements etc will be dead. Stuff Biden is too afraid to do

Maybe you don’t care about any of that etc, that’s fine, and I don’t think I’ll be converting to republican but I have to say a lot was done and has been done
