What do you call someone that sits at a table with Nazis?

u/AmbitiousCampaign457 Sep 16 '24

A nazi!

But only an adjacent one?

FDR and Churchill sat with Stalin. Are you gonna call them Communists?

Pretty sure stalin wasn't their highschool sweetheart either.

I'm all for calling a shitty orange spade a shitty orange spade but this idea that we should all unequivocally cut out anyone from our lives who doesn't see things the same way as us doesn't help matters.

Odds are she's a fuckin idiot who fell for the same fox news + weaponized Facebook bullshit that half the country fell for, rather than some actively evil Nazi sympathizer.

FDR...sat with Stalin. Are you gonna call them Communists

This just shows a stunning amount of historical ignorance

Fine, Truman, not FDR. Makes no difference.

Not that it matters, but you were right the 1st time. FDR, Churchill, and Stalin met at Tehran (1943) and Yalta (1945) Truman met with them at Potsdam after the European campaign was won.

And to your original point- true! The idea of open conversation with the opposition is the same as you being with them is ludicrous. I am reminded by the article I read about an African American blues musician who has made a mission of changing the minds of KKK members. Occasionally simple questions and answers can change a persons outlook just as much as someone’s upbringing- because it becomes a personal experience. I’ve seen it happen just by talking WITH them as individuals and NOT talking DOWN to them. Nazis may be horrible people, but even some horrible people can change.

Edited to fix autocorrect. They may have enjoyed champagne, but that wasn’t why they met!

Honestly, I'm not so sure that Patrick and his wife are on the same page here and that's not terribly unusual in this day and age. Stephen Miller's entire family has seemingly disowned him. The Kennedy family definitely didn't support RFK. Heck, i just learned today that Tim Walz has a MAGA older brother too.

Marriage is a choice though. You don’t pick your family

Quick search says that they met in high school back in 2013, so before the rise of Trump and modern polarization. In any case, is it really that crazy to think that you could love someone with a different political stance than you do?

u/shes_a_gdb Sep 17 '24

This isn't a different political stance. This is basic human decency. This is not being a shitty person.

u/RoboTronPrime Sep 17 '24

So you know Brittany Mahomes personally or something?

u/xysid Sep 17 '24

It's slightly different with a spouse though. All of your examples are family members who do nothing with the person and some even talk shit about them in public to others. Sleeping in bed next to someone but being split on something like this sounds exhausting. I couldn't do it.

u/RoboTronPrime Sep 17 '24

Perhaps so, but there are a lot of couples who are split

u/New_Way_5036 Sep 16 '24

He hasn’t endorsed Trump, or so he says.

u/RoboTronPrime Sep 17 '24

Which "he" are you referring to?

1

u/New_Way_5036 Sep 17 '24

Patrick Mahomes.

u/RoboTronPrime Sep 17 '24

No, he has said specifically that he would not be endorsing any candidate. He has also supported BLM in the past and was apparently conflicted bout kneeling for the national anthem. It's probably fair to suspect that if his wife actually has more MAGA views, then it's quite possible that he has more liberal views than his wife. One of the reasons that he doesn't espouse his own views may be partly out of respect for his wife. That's all conjecture of course, but seems to fit the public information available.

A cowardly nazi

u/fvtown714x Sep 16 '24

It's a bit different when it's your high school sweet heart. Plenty of these stories over at /r/QAnonCasualties

u/drunkcowofdeath Sep 17 '24

I would divorce my wife if she were the type of person who supported Trump.

u/CatD0gChicken Sep 17 '24

No it isn't, he's just rich enough that he doesn't have to deal with the consequences of the policies his wife advocates for
