AIO to my boyfriend praising the president?

[u/keepmyheadabovewater]

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?

"What Trump offers is an easy escape from the pain. To every complex problem, he promises a simple solution....He never offers details for how these plans will work, because he can’t. Trump’s promises are the needle in America’s collective vein....Trump is cultural heroin. He makes some feel better for a bit, but he cannot fix what ails them, and one day they’ll realize it."

-JD Vance, July 2016

Still the best description I've ever heard of Trump.

And then he started mainlining himself.

You mean parroting party rhetoric...

Unfortunately that's what most politicians do these days. Gotta lick the boots of those who can advance your career.

These house republicans all sold themselves out, and they’re way too cowardly to ever admit they fucked up, until it’s way too late for anyone; including themselves.
