Pictured: the infamous photo of a United States Border Patrol officer seizing Elian Gonzalez from the home of his relatives after a decision was made to forcibly return him back to his father in Cuba.

The backlash against the Clinton administration by Florida's Cuban immigrant community is widely believed to have been the decisive factor in Al Gore losing the state and thus the 2000 presidential election to George W. Bush.

I genuinely don’t understand how, almost ten years later, Trump supporters are still acting surprised that normal people don’t want to date them. At this point, it’s not “just politics.” It hasn’t been “just politics” since 2016.

Your vote is a reflection of your values. It’s who you stand with, what behavior you’re willing to excuse, and what kind of world you think is acceptable. When you openly support someone who has mocked disabled people, demonized immigrants, encouraged political violence, bragged about sexual assault, and generally thrown gasoline on every social division we have… it says something. And people have every right to decide they don’t want that energy in their personal lives.

Dating is about compatibility morally, emotionally, socially. If someone hears you voted for Trump and immediately knows your values aren’t aligned, that’s not discrimination. That’s boundaries. That’s clarity. That’s self-respect.

What’s wild is the perpetual victimhood. The same people who yell about “freedom” melt down when others freely choose not to date them. You can’t demand the world accept your beliefs while refusing to accept the consequences of them.

If you vote for someone who built a political identity around cruelty, chaos, and conspiracy theories… don’t act shocked when people don’t see that as attractive.

It’s not complicated.

Okay so first off I'm 35F my husband is 36M. We've been together 13 years married for 11. My husband is his mother's absolute favorite child. If I say my husband has done something even slightly wrong she is absolutely flabbergasted and I have to show proof he did it.

My MIL is a very devout Christian and is literally the preachers wife. She is the kind of preachers wife that will video the whole sermon and send it to people that missed the service. My husband was the epitome of innocence when I met him. Homeschooled and everything. I've corrupted him.

Anyway to the issue. My in-laws came over today after the service and my MIL went to use the bathroom. She went to our bathroom and both of our closets are in our bathroom. We have our bedroom frisky time toys in my closet. It is rather untame toys ( I'm trying keep this pg) and my MIL was absolutely horrified. She came out and immediately started freaking out on us and I thought it was absolutely hilarious. They ended up leaving and my MIL has called my husband several times about it since then more and more upset. I still think it's hilarious.

My husband is a little embarrassed and is upset that I think it's so funny. Apparently we've traumatized his mom and he's upset about it. I think she traumatized her self and there was no reason for her to be snooping around in my closet anyway so that's on her.

Should I apologize to my husband for laughing so much though? He agrees she shouldn't have snooped but he felt like my reaction was wrong. I should have tried to smooth it over instead of laughing.
