Married w/ kids to a far-leftist - need advice
First time on Reddit. Looking to get some advice/input on how to proceed with my relationship.

I met my wife 4 years ago. We are both mid 30s. We both shared the same far-left regressive politics when we first met. It started as a casual fling but she got pregnant really quickly. We now have a three year old and a one year old.

We have a great relationship aside from the fact that we cannot discuss politics or any social issues.

Since we’ve been together, I have become a huge fan of JBP, Sam Harris, etc. and my views now run counter to hers on nearly every issue. She regularly talks about white privilege, BLM, and not doing enough to advice SJW causes. She loves Shaun King and doesn’t see any issue with PC culture (thinks it’s great!) She’s even bragged about following a FB page run by a woman that “fuuuucking hates white people.”

I’ve tried to engage in more civil discussions on these issues, but she has frankly stated that she is an ideologue and that these views are “her identity.” There is no moving her, even a little. She refuses to even listen to a counter argument, or to even entertain the idea that there are other arguments.

During the last discussion we had about all of this, she said that is OK with being racist, as long as it’s directed towards whites, even though the children we are raising are white.

My main concern is the children: She’s jokingly talked about enrolling my son in a drag queen classes. I am concerned that any feminine trait he may exhibit once he grows up will be pounced on and exploited by her ideology, and that he will suffer for it.

I am considering a divorce, but this is not a road I want to go down. We get along great as long as these subjects are not breeched. I am concerned that I have less room within the relationship to combat any impending gender/political craziness if I stay within the relationship, because I have to maintain a peace. If I leave there is more freedom, but the children will suffer greatly.

There are dragons under the rug that are growing. I need some help here.

Must be an American Thing.

I had assumed it was a reference to this.

OK igi now

We're off to our usual start

OK idgi again

Sometimes a potato is just a potato

This excelsior apparently requires a large amount of reading.

its clearly a gershwin reference

and if not it should be

i get neither the opening joke nor the thread title.

Weirdly I'm listening to a DJ mix a friend made and the titular song came on just now.

Thread title = Toto "Africa"

Gonna take me a lot to understand the LOL

Guys, trust me, if I got the joke it can't possibly be that complex.

Well aren't u LOLSford Brimley

This was the assumption I was operating under. I actually laughed out loud in public. Glad to see that it has engendered the usual amount of confusion.

I know all-too-well how a wobbly frame of mind can make any old thing sound like an assault on oneself but it helps, I find, to be occasionally reminded that this is not always or even necessarily frequently the case.

I like yr posts on music a lot, but srsly did you think it'd be news to straight men that women dig penetration and we shouldn't coerce them into letting us fuck them? Last I checked the average male ilxor was closer to 40 than 14.

How apt

--

Trump doing his best to kill off his Nebraska voters: For hours, attendees - including many elderly Trump supporters - stood in the cold, as police scrambled to help those most at-risk get to warmth.
Thirty people needed medical attention over the course of the rally, Omaha police spokesman Michael Pecha told The Washington Post on Wednesday. Seven were taken to local hospitals "with a variety of medical conditions."...

― Andy the Grasshopper, Wednesday, October 28, 2020 11:35 AM (seven minutes ago)

the quotes in the articles from Trump attendees all suggest they'd gladly die at one of his rallies.

hahaha

beautiful.

the first Old Lunch line doesn't scan ... flawed.

wow tough crowd

Just drop the 'the' in the first line, you're good.

It does scan?

you have to sing it in the double-decker way

What other way is there

Oh right I remember

but it should be "crashes into us" in the next line then

https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/pronunciation/english/potus

Nah, the last two lines (and the first line!) are so clearly from the first half of the chorus that it doesn’t matter how you adapt that second line. It scans, adjourned.

after further review, the lol on the board stands. sarahell is charged a timeout.

(furiously scribbles notes on scansion so as to tighten up potential future excelsiors)

yeah but would you actually pronounce "speech by the POTUS" the same way you would "double decker bus" ... I don't think so ... you wouldn't accentuate "the" here ... y'all are being lazy

otoh -- "speech by Donald Trump" actually does scan with "double decker bus" ... and considering another chorus has "ten tonne truck" still rhyming with "us" -- it's like, why use "the POTUS" here in this lyric ??? sorry, the only person I would defer to on this is roxymuzak.

Hot piss on the tip of my lips

look, we never thought we'd see old lunch political song parody again after "starvfishfish and covfefe". we're just happy the old lunch is back at it.

As ever I don’t know enough smiths songs for these to land

And I knew a smiths song
But it's so hard to know another these days

I was looking for a song and then I found a song

last night I dreamt
that somebody EXCELSIORed me
No LOL, no harm
Just another false alarm

Doctor, my posts
Tell me what is wrong
Was I unwise to parody this smiths song?

I would rather not go
Back to the old lols
I would rather not go
Back to the old lols
There's too many bad parodies
Too many parodies there

I would EXCELSIOR, but I haven't got a ZING to LOL

Imagining this being sung by Tom "Spongebob" Kenny

Posting your way in this thread today
Takes every lol you've got
Taking a break from song parodies
Sure would help a lot
Wouldn't you like a new lol thread?

Sometimes you want to post
Another Smiths song parody
This is a Smiths song parody
You wanna post a parody
Of Smiths songs just for thee
You wanna post a Smiths song parody

oh shut your mouth, how can you say i parody songs the wrong way

One more LOL
Just one more LOL
One more LOL
Cos I can't EXCELSIOR forever

One more Lol
One more lolling sound

I can feel it
LOLing in the air tonight

I hear the LOLs echoing tonight
But she hears only ROFLs of some quiet
