Woman I've been dating said she's undecided about Trump v. Harris. I feel sick.
Am I out of my mind? I feel like this is a dealbreaker. Would anyone here be okay with dating someone that voted for Trump?
For context, up to this point, I've felt that she and I are an exceptional match in every way. We have very good chemistry, similar hobbies, similar life and career goals, similar ethics (??? which is now confusing), similar interests, and we get each other's sense's of humor. Honestly, I haven't felt like I meshed this well with someone since I was a teenager.
She is originally from another country and this is the first election she's been able to vote in as an American citizen. It feels disrespectful to think or say this, but I'm quesitoning if she fully understands what's at stake. We were talking about this last night and then the conversation became really awkward. She brought up some issues with international politics that I wasn't familiar with, so I researched those to the best of my ability and in as much detail as I could. Definitely did not change my opinion at all. We're already planning to talk again later today.
Just curious what others here think of this. Am I overreacting?
Obviously (?) the reason I'm asking this is because I'm a lesbian and I dont know any gay people who would consider this stance. Therefore I want a broader lesbian opinion.
*****************UPDATE:
- As requested. We talked for several hours last night, and she explained that coming into this as an outsider she wanted to truly understand why a large portion of US voters are/will vote for the other side. She wanted to form her own opinion that was as unbiased and logical as possible, which I can understand and appreciate as a scientist. So we talked about a lot of different things. AND GUYS SHE'S VOTING FOR HARRIS!
*** Additional Update 11/18/2024
Okay, well turns out I should have just let it be a dealbreaker. We continued dating. She began disrespecting my boundaries, SAed me, and then victim blamed me for this awful situation I went through earlier this year where a group of people bullied me. NEVER AGAIN
