My wife hates Trump. Has anyone successfully got their spouses to like Trump? If yes, how did you do it? I have been trying for 8 years now and I am open to new ideas :)

Don't try. Just accept her opinions and say, "Watch the next few years, and we'll talk again then." Then wait and watch. Things will be much better once DJT has a chance to implement his policies.
It won't take a few years but instead just a few months! By then she'll have more than enough information on how corrupt those on the left are and I'm pretty sure like a lot of others will realize why he acted the way he did in saving America!
I wouldn't push it. My family hates Trump to.
I don't try to sell them on it. They have to learn themselves.
Is your wife’s boyfriend a Trump voter like you?
Buuuuurrrnnnnn.... 🤣💀👻
All for fun. We need a little levity around here.
Just love her. There will be another election in 4 years and President Trump will not be running. Remind her of that. This is the better or worse in the marriage vows. Maybe a date night to remind her why you are a married couple to begin with.
Love this response. Love her through it. Is she aware YOU are a Trump supporter?
My husband and I voted the same. I was just giving you advice that I learned after 50 years of marriage. Recommit every year and once you do, you're in it for the year no matter what happens.
Do nothing right now the declass and all thats coming will show her Trump was the right person. Kamala is likely one of those arrested for what she allowed to happen to this country so she will see on her own.
I had a husband like that didnt want to hear anything at all about Trump because I was throwing things out left right and center. I finally stopped talking about it and he came around all by himself.
Granted it was probably a year ago but not everyone wakes up at the same time.
So just chill for a while and dont rub it in her face that her side lost. Dont talk about it at all.
Wait till them fat paychecks coming in and then it'll be okay
Nope. Stop trying. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.
I feel for you and those saying get a new wife are likely single and young - or drunk. Have you tried having a calm and open conversation, or even asking her for the next four years, to look at the actions as opposed to the gaslighting (of course, not saying it that way) and try to take an objective, non emotional stance? Then after this happens, her opinions have not changed, you would accept it? I know it’s a long shot, but it shows you value her and you care.
Yes Divorce now.
No. Just fucking no. My wife is fast asleep, but in every other way she is wonderful.
Weapons grade propaganda has been used on EVERYONE for DECADES. It’s not that these people are stupid. It’s that they’ve been lied to for practically forever.
Cope harder bud.
weapons grade propaganda doesn't excuse ANYTHING. It simply shows that using deductive logic isn't her strong suit.
Shes perfect... except for where it truly counts.
enjoy life, pretty sure unless you show her that you are a man, she will leave u. probably to shave her head, wear a blue bracelet and subscribe to the taylor swift train of thought
Aren't you just a ray of sunshine.
absolutely.
Its a sheer joy in my eyes to correct the foolish, regardless of what types of creatures they decide to mate with
I have had some friends come around. Only one that was a never trumpet. I just stopped talking about Trump. I started to only discuss policies and what we wanted for the country. When enough was built up, I said “Okay, so we agree on these things and this direction. This is how we think we can get there. Who can we vote for that has the same goals.” When the realization happens it’s weird. Mostly because their demonized person is on their side. Fighting for the same things.
Create a user name and password for her and let us cheer her up! :)
She'll come around once he gets into office, Many Dems will see the error of their waysl
Don't force her to pick your choices. Let her choose for herself. The left is all about converting ppl so don't do what they do. Trump has the white house, the senate, scotus, popular vote. Shits about to get wild and you are sitting in the front row. Give her breaking news for the next 4 years. And if she still refuses, fuck it, doesn't matter anymore.
My wife on election day was looking up harris policies. I got mad not because she was looking but that she decided to do her homework the day of. After 4 years of me saying all the shit harris has been doing. She ended up picking trump i think. She asked me if I wanted to know. I said no, it is her choice, and hers alone.
My parents were happily married for 50 years and my mother always said she’d cancel my dads vote (dad and 2 daughters were conservative- middle daughter voted like mom) -/ that’s fine— it’s the cheating and the Big Guys manipulating our elections— we as populous should be able to vote for our favorite candidate without the votes being readjusted/faked to meet the goals of the Big Boss ( whoever that might be)
You've gone this far, just hold on for the awakening to gain steam. She might hate Trump now, but she can't argue with the actual results on the way. Better economy, lower taxes and crime, no wars, criminals going to jail. I don't think you'll need to say a thing.
you could also - LATER - once the emotions die down, ask why so many dems crossed the aisle
You should send her this link from x:

"If you voted Democrat and you are feeling that the election result is truly horrifying, do this one simple thing for your mental health:
Write down your fears of what might happen in the next 4 years on a piece of paper.
Re-read and check in on them every few months.
It will be a constant source of relief to you when you see that your fears will not, in fact, come true.
Then start asking why you had those fears in the first place and how you can prevent them from forming the next time."
Make your house a politics free environment. You won't win or ever convince a liberal. That's impossible. So avoid the hard feelings and go around it. Don't talk about anything political AT ALL. No MSM unless she wears headphones. Talk kids, sports, cooking, pets, anything but politics. It works.
Thats not true do you think all those votes for Trump came from conservatives. They didnt lots of democrats crossed over once they woke up.
Good point. This would be better: "In many cases, that's impossible"
What have you tried? How does she react? TDS bad? Were you as a couple better off under Trump? Maybe start from that angle? A bit disappointed in the responses here. You can't easily change her out for a new model. Geeze.
Pray. Pray that overtime as life gets better she lets go of the TDS.
Divorce. It is only a matter of time. As covid went on and things got more and more extreme my wife became more and more and more desperate holding two Rachel Maddow and MSDNC
It ended with her totally disrespecting me by getting the vaccine without my consent (because the vaccine vaccinates me, too)
The divorce hasn't been easy but, like Joe Rogan said in his comedy podcast, covid took an incredible amount of lives, and many of them are still alive

BLUF: If I vote for our family's interests, and she votes to cancel my vote, then she's voting against our family and that is unacceptable.
I handle the finances in my house. I track what comes in and what goes out. My wife still doesn't like Trump, (mostly because reddit doesn't like Trump) but I told her that our job isn't to vote for what may or may not be best for minorities, degenerates, or invaders. They can vote in line with whatever they consider their best interests to be, and we need to vote for our own interests. Tweets and personal behavior aren't policy. If she wants to veto Trump coming over to our place for dinner, cool, but as a straight White Christian couple barely breaking six figures, Trump is best for us. If I vote for our family's interests, and she votes to cancel my vote, then she's voting against our family and that is unacceptable. She voted for Trump this time.
Shock Therapy?......
I went thru this with my adult children who are Millennials 8 years+ back. I think it’s a peer thing with making these groups making unfounded comments or lies on FB etc as they use the liberal media to receive their info. So I made a promise to myself to just love them unconditionally and not to mention ANYTHING about politics. It has worked. I decided to step back but the same thing has heated up again leading up to the election. The grimaces, the mocking smirks, the anger etc. is hard as I thought that as they matured as adults, they would finally wake up and realise they have been lied to and have wasted years ‘flogging a dead horse’ - terrible analogy I’m sorry, but the lies are real and we are watching lies (propaganda) in all its depravity. We have a choice. Cause grief and a possible family rift or ignore and let them see and hear for themselves. The decision for me was easy. I believe it’s going to get worse, but my family are a God-given gift and prayer and love got me thru this once and it will get me thru it again. God Bless.
Self love and self care … when she herself value herself she would believe what she deserve
Simple: make a deal with her neither of you will try and challenge or claim Trump will do or say or has said anything untill you both watch his speech or whatever in totality. And you will both try to watch his speeches and talk about what you agree with and disagree with. Do not Bing his past or what other media is saying about it. You must both use internal critiques.
Either you will learn to be more centered or she will. Let's wait and see. Use truth and reality as the measure not what some form of media tells you.
Is she even politically aware or are your In-laws libtards as well? If so, good luck cause that’s a hard bond to break. When Trump starts cutting taxes I’d just ask -why didn’t Biden do that?
I showed my wife her 401k balance the day after the election.!!!!
not sure how you can coexist honestly but you are, so good for you. start predicting the future in the form of various questions each time the opportunity presents itself...
"hypothetically, would you think Trump was better if Obama was proven to be a pedophile?
hypothetically, if RFK jr is given the opportunity and is able to reveal that the CDC/FDA, etc has been poisoning us and Trump admin makes us healthy again...
hypothetically, if Trump's admin reveals 9/11 was an inside job perpetuated by very bad actors including both corrupt Republicans and Democratics...
if all of the celebrity types that speak out against Trump and you've respected because they've talked "nicely" for years, turn out to be on Epstein and/or Diddy list....
etc etc and then when these all get revealed you'll have already planted the seeds and hopefully she'll "figure it out for herself"
Divorce
My sister was a wreck when Trump won in 2016. Then she sided with Biden I think (never told me) but she seemed mixed. This year she voted Trump. There is hope. They really need encouragement to look at facts. Problem is that Google search results are so slanted. Sad.
HATES??
Does she "hate" anyone else??
Is she Christian?
WHO TAUGHT HER TO HATE?? asking for a fren
If she’s the one that does the grocery shopping or any of the house budget, she’ll see. You won’t have to say anything. My wife isn’t the biggest fan either. She voted Trump because she sees the bills too.
Idk man 8 years? Living thru all the B's these last four years and nothing haven't gained any ground with her, I'd say she's never going to come around. Imo the winning we are going to be seeing these next couple of months/years is going to make it worse. Some people can't stand to be WRONG, I'd get a lawyer because she might just get sick of Trump and his supporters being right and move to divorce you first just to keep herself in the liberal hive mind woke virus bubble. Some women just can't handle being wrong and instead of fixing themselves they do things to force what they feel in their minds is right. Plus if you have kids she will be feeding them bullshit their whole childhood next thing you know you have a libtard wife and kids, if my wife was a lib and pushed any liberal idea on my kids like LGBT garbage is 100% be done and go to hell and back to get my kids away from her.
Ask Why, then show her that Everything MSM and liberalism has spread about Trump is a criminal lie. My wife is watching the lying CBS 'news' right now and they are still spreading criminals lies about Trump, calling Illegal aliens 'undocumented migrants'. BTW Hispanic Americans voted to Deport illegal aliens.
I’d encourage her to write a list of 25 reasons- then she will have to really think about the reasons
The lies of MSM are 90% of what liberals believe about Trump yet they have Zero proof to back up their lies. An intelligent adult would go back and see the Failed muller circus, the 2 Failed impeachments with zero proof of a crime, and the criminal Jan 6 'committee' that was nothing but lies, and think 'what Is the truth'?
If you love her then just drop it. Stay away from politics. You’ve got the GAW for your reading. Talk to us if you need to vent. But I’d leave her out if it. Now if she rages constantly..we’ll then you need to have a talk. Just say, no more politics. Unplug. It’s not worth losing someone you love. You now all this is gonna go down anyways. She’ll find out. Tell her every time we start in with politics, we change to subject to Jesus. Bible stories. Seriously.
To start with, figure out her core beliefs.
By way of example, when Fauci took away bodily autonomy and showed the hypocrisy of "My Body, My Choice" it literally turned a couple people I know from madlibs to conservatives.
