Hey everyone! So my boyfriend (32m) and I(27f) have been together for over four years. We’ve been happy, honest, loyal, and committed for the entirety of that time. However, ever since the pandemic began we’ve been fighting over Q and the encompassing monstrosity that it is. We’re both college education, intelligent, good people but lately I’ve found I can barely stand to be around him.
I understand the desire to cling to anything that make sense of the chaos that is going on but this is not the theory I hold any solid merit in. My boyfriend is now suddenly backing trump, believe people drink children’s blood, and in demonic sex rings. The worst part is he helps perpetuate this toxic misinformed propaganda based cult online. He left his own Reddit up and page after page after page was filled with him engaging in these types of conversations.
I feel as if I don’t know this person. I’m appalled at the reality that this cult has formulated itself to prevent the help of anyone else. Everyone is a sheep, everything is a lie, we’re the only ones who know the truth. How is that so? How does one even begin to think that?
I’ve fought with him for these past seven months about how frustrating it is for him to not be able to fact check, how lacking the critical thinking involved in this was, how willingly he looks at everything the president does as acceptable and anything anyone else does as vile.
I’m heartbroken honestly. This person was not this way prior to the pandemic and this whole thing becoming more mainstream. I’m so saddened and feel as though I cannot live my life with someone who screams about antifa and preaches Q. I’ve tried constantly to engage in conversations where we both hear each other out but he never allows for me to provide any sort of facts to the table.
He always claims to me that this stuff doesn’t matter to him. That he doesn’t even care that much. That it isn’t a deal breaker to him that I am so liberal so why should it be to me? I don’t want someone to change their views simply because I force it down his throat. However, at a certain point I’m left wondering what kind of person this is on the inside? What kind of person doesn’t openly renounce anyone who perpetuates fear and ugliness and inequality? I’m so confused.
TLDR: Q is now fully in my relationship and I’m a hardcore liberal and feel like I got smacked upside the head.
