My girlfriend has become a radical leftist.
I'm really open politically, and people can think whatever they'd like, partners included, but shes slowly become really confrontational, as in if I disagree with her, I'm a bad person, or me not wanting to be a radical, I'm a bad person. Its really pushed me away, as I just avoid talking about anything close to anything political.
I know the usual suggestion is break up, but what other option. I'm really not that political, especially anymore. I just want to be left alone so I can have a nice little garden/farm, and cute little animals to take care of.

youre going to have different opinions on many things, if a fight over politics is what brings you to almost breaking up somethings wrong
my girlfriends fairly left and im full right wing. my grandma is about the only other right wing in my family, one night years back after we first met i was drunk at my grandmas and we had a full on debate on my hatred of Justin Trudeau and refugees so hard i was yelling and threw my shirt off. the night ended with her driving me home passed out drunk laughing at me shirtless
she knows im right wing and shes left wing and we respect our differences, if something as stupid as fighting over politics gets in the way of a relationship problems will get worse in marriage over financial issues and kids

Thats what I think. That politics really shouldn't be something that causes so much disdain from someone who says they love you. I feel like we can't talk about alot of stuff anymore because she ties it into her politics somehow. I can't just say how I feel about something, or maybe some idea thats in my head because of events that happened to me, because if it goes against her even slightly she'll just make me feel bad about it. She never just wants to talk openly anymore I feel like I'm just a placeholder for people she disagrees with and shes trying to tell me how the world is without any real concern about what I think. Its really isolating :/
