I mean if a woman wants to marry a person who is a Trump supporter, then while I question her sanity… Okay I guess? 🤷♂️
But this idea that women are not marrying Trump supporters because of “social pressure” just sounds to me like another of the long line of “women are weak and can’t make their own decisions” arguments.
But then again what can you expect from conservatives who can only think in terms of binaries?

The irony in this statement is subtle but quite delightful.
Only if you consider the word “who” to not be a qualifier.
I think I should have stated “whom” to remove the qualifier ambiguity.
I hate using whom but in this case it was probably needed.
That’s a fair point.
So you’re saying it can be taken in two different ways…
On review I think this is one of the few times that “whom” would be more appropriate.
No, not even a little bit. “Who” is the subject of the relative clause. “Whom” would be completely incorrect.
Thank you for the clarification. I appreciate your help.
Because I would only support religious education if it adhered to my viewpoint while claiming conservatives can only see binary viewpoints?
Or because I have a binary view point of conservatives while at the same time levelling this against them?
Both are ironic in some sense.
The latter
Conservatives are a monolith. If you don’t fall in line and do what the party wants, they attack you, primary you, and cast you out.
This is how the Nazis got regular people to commit to atrocities.
Tell me you’ve never spent any time around conservatives without telling me you’ve never spent any time around conservatives.
No, your immediate family doesn’t count.
However I would counter with the point that those with a binary view point must be debated in like.
How can I debate the grey with a person who cannot see it?
You realize that such a debate is impossible to win, right?
Winning a debate should not be the goal. It should be to progress disclosure and help finding some resemblance of “truth”.
Hence why I asked which of the two possible ironic statements I made you were asking about.
I’m wrong all the time. But discourse helps us all to learn.
