    I thought the ads were for fringe cases but apparently a considerable number of women are expected to vote for their husband’s candidate of choice instead of just agreeing to disagree like functional adults who care about each other’s opinions

      If the situation were reversed and my wife “agreed to disagree” by supporting a fascist, I freely admit that it would cause me to have serious doubts about our relationship.

      That isn’t to say the MAGA husbands’ views are justified – quite the opposite! It’s to say that moral relativism is bullshit and being judged for supporting fascism is not equivalent to being judged for opposing it.
