Already illegal in Missouri for pregnant women to divorce their spouse
deleted by creator
Not really, but it’s more about child custody and child support if already married.

Nowhere in Missouri law does it say pregnant women are barred from getting divorced.
But a judge handling a case where one party is pregnant may wait to finalize that divorce until the baby is born, which, experts told us, is done in order to consolidate custody and child-support agreements with other end-of-marriage arrangements.
This can happen in other states, too.
Still dangerous because the husband is empowered to make medical decisions in certain cases
Holy shit. That’s some dystopian nightmare
Why would you marry someone that votes to make you a second class citizen?
Some people have been married for longer than republicans have been open fascists.
Since the Reagan years?!
My dad used to listen to NPR but somewhere along the way NPR got replaced with Rush and Drudge. Thankfully he died before our relationship could be ruined by Trump but I know he would have been and I know it would have broken us.
You should watch, “The Brainwashing of my Dad” documentary. Sad reality for so many.
Basically yeah.
I was married for 30 years. (Not to a Republican, tho.)
Why would someone vote for themselves to be a second class citizen?
I dunno.
I always wondered that and I finally met not one, but TWO people who fit this criteria.
The first person was married with kids, and she’s afraid to leave because she doesn’t know if she’s the primary breadwinner, and to divorce would mean she would struggle taking care of two kids by herself. The husband isn’t abusive (her comments), but he seems to want her to be a tradwife while also wanting her to work.
The second person shared that she married her high school sweetheart. But she was already questioning things when he spouted Joe Rogan/Jordan Peterson BS, and would flip out at work on male coworkers and put words in our mouths. After a report, I learned about her marriage issues and providing support for the past few months. But all the workplace can do is give her some therapy sessions and hopes she gets the fuck out of her predicament.
Why marry a turd in the first place? 🤷
Things happen. Stuff. Reasons.
People also change, and someone may over the long haul become something you didn’t really expect out of them.
This was my dad. He was always right leaning but then Trump came along and he went die hard political full on Trumpet.
He’s one of the smartest people I know and watching him get more involved and more and more angry was terrifying.
I’m sorry about your dad, truly.
Someone posted this elsewhere, and I’m adding it for visibility because it’s an important watch for people in situations like yours:
*The Brainwashing of My Dad on freevee, Pluto, Roku, and Prime].
It helps to understand what’s happening, gives some support, and some tips to wean our elders out of right-wing extremism. It’s quite good and potentially helpful.
I tend to believe people don’t really change but they do tend to show their true colors eventually. However, some of us are not a great judge of character.
Life is also complicated and messy.
Alternatively, both Republican, and she changed for the better for herself.
I disagree. Some people do change. Learn new things, car accidents change your life, cancer changes your life, new job, …
The only thing constant is change.
Can confirm. I was a hard right conservative during Obama.
Life happens and now I’m an anti-capitalist pro-union progressive.
Congratulations on your positive change :)
You can always bet on people changing and never on how they’ll do it
I tend to believe people don’t really change but they do tend to show their true colors eventually.
A drunk action is a sober thought.
I personality know two very liberal women who married right wing nutjobs, the first one married a full MAGA, proud boys type militia and election denier guy who she thought she could change him (she couldn’t).
The other one thought that political differences didn’t matter in a romantic relationship (it did).
Both ended up in divorce.
she thought she could change him
Has this ever worked?! Like a single time in the history of our species?
Edit: I asked the High Council for Female Affairs (my girlfriend) about the why and her answer is - summarized: At the beginning of a relationship you see things you like and things you don’t like. Some try to quell the bad things and enhance the good things. The emotionally immature ones believe in “a perfect relationship” and actively try to form their partners instead of looking for someone who has less of those bad qualities. They tend to fail spectacularly.
My stepmom lived in one of the most liberal towns in Massachusetts, running a Montessori program before she and my Fox News watching dad got married. (We never actually talked about politics because they “had an agreement,” but I have to assume she was very liberal- probably not very left though)
She started voting republican after a few years :(
Any of those topics that people who care more about society being polite than just tell you to avoid are ones that should be not just discussed but agreed on before making a relationship legally binding. Religion, money, politics. They are each too serious for “agree to disagree” to last long.
I’ve dated conservative women a few times, they definitely said things like “I don’t let that come into my relationships” and that never ended up being the fact. And goddamn it they all were REALLY into D/s dynamics. Albeit that’s a quality I typically find in a partner, but tbh they kinda excelled at playing the role phew.
The basis of right wing thought is hierarchies.
Because not everyone makes their political alignment their entire personality.
I think Trump is pissed about Taylor Swift, because all his young, Rogan listening, meathead voters are probably being pressured by their Swifty girlfriends into ditching Trump.
unfortunately most of them don’t have girlfriends. some of them never did. the party is relying on incels and divorced dads.
Don’t forget the old white boomer married men. They lived life on easy mode and simply can’t comprehend that the world has changed.
they’re not that different. most of them are the “i married young and i hate my wife” type anyway.
being maidenlessmale insecurity and sexual frustrations are the driving force of fascism.
It’s not unfortunate. Girlfriends wouldn’t fix them, but they would do serious damage to girlfriends. They need to get their own shit together before dating
One could hope
Not just a concept
What a great time to be on the market 😄
Fucking right?!
A maga version would be nice.
No sex with magas!
On the contrary, during World War II, French prostitutes would purposely spread venereal disease to nazis. They would also get nazis hooked on heroin.
Unfortunately, MAGAs tend to already have both those issues.
All we can do now is accuse them of sleeping with each other’s partners. Let them shoot each other
it’s a shame Matt Taibbi sold out after modeling for this
“WHILE YOU STILL CAN!”
Sorry, I can’t relate to this kink. Not shaming, exactly, but I find divorce lawyers more attractive than this.
e: oh shit, I misread this because of the funky font. Carry on, I approve.

‘Decode’. I came from an article that used that word a lot. Plus my eyes are shit.
Wait I’m more confused now how “Sorry, I can’t relate to this kink. Not shaming, exactly, but I find divorce lawyers more attractive than this.” responds to “Decode your Republican husband”
Trying to decode your republican husband’s ramblings doesn’t seem like a fun hobby, is all.
How would you go around decoding your husband??
I dunno. Republicans are an enigma to me and I haven’t eaten cereal for years.
Drink your Ovaltine.
Yeah the cereal would do it
Whoosh
Use Neo’s powers.

It’s a great accent font, but not meant for a full design like this.
Makes me think of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FVsCWKgKEY
Really more of a concept.
actually you know what, if you can afford not to, please don’t. we really don’t need any more podcasts.
