Is your gf a lefty? That would explain why she is triggered by your facts

Unfortunately yes. She’s come a long way the past couple of years especially regarding fiscal policy that’s I’ve routinely complained and demonstrably proven to her (I vomit every April 15). I’ve got a long way to go in a short period of time, otherwise she might be kicking rocks.

Trust me, most women don't get it. 90% of women aren't interested in politics or real world events beyond the usual daily fluff. It's not that she doesn't want to listen to you, she's just wired to get agitated by things that rock her worldview.

You can tell her all you want but she'll still switch off at some point. It's like Eve in the Garden, the details don't matter as much to women. They are more invested in the world.

The great thing about women is they will listen and give you time even when they don't really care. So keep it short and sweet and focus on the big stuff and don't begrudge her too much.

It's definitely special when a women is interested in politics.

For the record a good 70-80% of men aren't interested either

Have a nice day LadyPede

Exactly right, this is sound advice at least in my experience. Sometimes I do fly off the handle and go into gross detail or long rants about things. IME With women not just s/o’s , there’s certainly a point of diminishing returns that comes earlier compared to talking to your buddies over a beer.

Yeah and if it happens too often it can mess with your relationship. Remember we can't be everything to each other, even though we try. Secret coups, wiretapping, fisa unmaskings, ukrainian money laundering and deep state propaganda etc are all kinda dark subjects.

In actual fact one of the things that makes me angriest about this coup is the arguments it has caused amongst friends and families. It's so unfair that these lies have been foisted upon the world.

Well I wish you the best and am happy you two still love each other. I like seeing right and left people become partners and spouses. It is the small glimmer of hope I have for the future. Otherwise it is one massive circlejerk group of couples who can't argue a single issue with each other, politically.
