The anonymous author shares her struggles in a marriage where political beliefs clash, particularly surrounding her husband’s support for Trump and her anti-Trump stance. As a Mexican American, she feels deeply affected by Trump's rhetoric about immigrants, which has hurt her community. The author wishes to keep politics out of her marriage but finds it challenging due to their differing core values. She questions whether her husband's ability to overlook the associated racism and division stems from white privilege, leading her to avoid political discussions altogether.
"My husband is an avid Trump supporter, and I am anti-Trump. I would like politics to stay out of our marriage, but this is a difficult issue for me."
"I find it very unsettling that my husband is blind to this. Is it white privilege that allows him to look beyond the racism and hate being spread in this country?"
