Just had this argument with the wife. I was making the point that we can't comply our way out of this. Every time the government asks us to jump everyone just starts jumping without asking why are we jumping? So after a 2 minute breakdown of why we can't "comply our way out of tyranny" she says that she feels fine because she can at least go places as she is vaccinated and I am not. Unreal LOL

That makes me sad. In fact, I've come across this sort of comment several times over the past year and a half where one spouse "gets" it but the other doesn't. I don't know what I'd do if my husband and I were not on the same page.

Thanks. It's been like this since President Trump won. We live in CA and work in TV so it's basically my voice & 1 other mom vs all her college friends, co-workers, and everyone she is friend's with on FB. It has been a losing battle. I cannot defeat the lying MSM media because they can lie faster than I can debunk it.

thatтАЩs when my husband and I started really differing too! 2016тАжand the last 2-years have been especially rough! He got vaxxed and vaxxed our kids without my knowledge (although he knew what IтАЩd say at a high level). Sounds like she will at least listen to you where-as I тАЬget my info from mom-blogsтАЭ

OMG. I said over 6 months ago the moment that anyone even hinted at giving my kids shots i would throw them in the car and just drive. I don't know how you are surviving. I am so sorry. Luckily my wife is 100% in on not vaxxing the kids. I guess that could change if FB deems it a bad idea lol. God bless you and your children. I have no words for your husband.

Omigosh. Sorry for you and your kids. Hope you can keep them from getting boostered--I fear it will be twice a year, for the long term.

Thanks and I hope so too! The vaxx indoctrination is strong though and very tough to break through because then heтАЩll have to admit to himself that he potentially harmed our kids - not sure he could live with himself (literally) if he believed that

Wow. TDS and now Covidiocy has done quite a number on far too many people. I'm sorry, truly.

IтАЩm went on a date in NY, a vax passport city. I got him to agree to eat outdoors so it wouldnтАЩt come up, but he mentioned he supports the passports. I actually liked him and it seemed mutual, but now I donтАЩt know whether to see him again тАж IтАЩm assuming he would think IтАЩm a crazy anti-vaxxer. But what is kind of funny is that he told me he has a long history of dating crazy women!

I know my advice wasn't asked for, but I'm giving it anyway! LOL! We are headed for difficult times, and we're going to need to be as brave as possible to face them. For me it's a huge help knowing I have my husband's hand to hold and that we are of the same outlook on all of this. Your home and relationships should be a place of peace and respite. On the other hand, no harm in enjoying your date's company, but be aware that you've already seen his "insides".

Well, yes. LOL! I hate to be "Debbie Downer", but yeesh, she already has to negotiate a place for a meal. Doesn't bode well. ;)

Truth. When they're breaking up it'll be "I should've seen that red flag when he said he was okay with one of the ten steps to genocide on our first date..."

Thx. I am laughing a lot catching up on all these el gato substacks. Peeps are very funny in the comments--love it.

Thanks, I appreciate the advice! Unfortunately it's the norm around here; 90% simply have no clue. Yes, I don't think we are soul mates. As kitten seeking answers said above, I'm too sane for him. I did consider going all Basic Instinct and kissing him then telling him I'm unvaxxed and have Covid rofl. But he might be into that ...

It's a shame that he's into tyranny. Someone, there has to be someone more worthy of you out there... Besides, he has crazy exes. Yikes!

I warned my wife that I'd leave her the same night she took any poison jab. And she knows that I don't kid about this sort of thing. The good news is she's now a furious anti-vaxxer. Tough love works.
