Some important context: My (ex)GF is notoriously anti-political. She absolutely hates discussing politics because it usually only causes fights between people who otherwise get along. She also avoids any/all political messaging so she doesn’t see any ads or anything like that. All the stuff we watch is on streaming services so we’re fortunate enough to avoid it. She’s mainly center/right-leaning and I’m heavily left-leaning.
It hasn’t been an issue before because we’ve talked about our values and how other people deserve to be treated, no matter their beliefs. This gave me great confidence that she’s an actual conservative, not a Trumper.
However, because of her self-imposed bubble of ignorance, she’s genuinely oblivious to the awful things Trump has said and done, both in his private life and political career. This led to her casting a vote in his favor and it blowing up our relationship.
She’s realized how much this has hurt me personally and is willing to have me share information with her to help her understand why it’s so hard for me to get past this, especially as a Latino man.
My ask is this, can I please have some help finding credible sources that talk about what he’s done? I know he’s basically admitted to a lot of it himself but there’s so much garbage to sift through that it would take one person forever.
Please don’t waste both our time by saying she got what she deserved or anything hateful. I appreciate that she’s genuinely trying to expand her worldview and is truly remorseful for not realizing what her vote meant.
TL;DR: GF cast a vote for Trump without knowing anything about the guy. She’s now open to learning about him but I usually get angry when thinking about what he’s done. Can anyone who’s had this talk with a loved one help me navigate this conversation?
