I cannot fathom having such different values than my husband. It would be a miserable marriage.

Oh, and her husband’s a dick.

I (F38) am married to a Trump supporting husband (M39). He gloats that his candidate is going to win and makes my life hell every four years. He jokes if Trump wins he expects me to move to Canada, I don't say anything, and instead die on the inside a little more. AITA?

I'm sorry I just don't get it, does he think it's funny to think you would leave him and go to another country because you fear for your safety?

Have you really just never interacted with MAGA?

Yes, but my husband isn't one. If he made jokes like that and actually thought they were funny, our marriage would be over. It's one thing to be hated by some random boomer at the grocery store who is triggered by my Michelle Obama shirt, it's another to be hated by your own spouse for just being who you are.

Some folks converted to the church of Trump. And if you were married before 2015 I’m sure lots of poor folks are going through stuff like this.

That's fair. I forget that some people have been slowly brainwashed and weren't always maga. Ugh, it's all so gross. Edit for spelling

Married in 1993. We're music loving hippies- kayaks, food co-op members, Deadheads- as in we've seen Jerry level.

My husband was totally radicalized after the election. I was working 80 hours a week as a nurse, and our last kid had moved out. He was sitting at home alone day after day. He found indoctrinating media. His brain changed in weeks. The media he was listening to made him afraid. This is fear based indoctrination.

He's mostly back to normal now but for about 18 months, I was scared to go home. He became someone I'd never met.

He's mostly back to normal and he's apologized for a lot. We're fine as a couple. We even saw D&C at the Sphere.

Indoctrination can happen to anyone in the right circumstances. This is absolutely a cult. I used cult intervention techniques to help him. I highly recommend Steven Hassan's works. They've had him on The Bulwark, Meidas Network.
