Megan Rapinoe reveals her dad voted for Donald Trump
Quote:US women’s soccer team co-captain Megan Rapinoe revealed that her father voted for President Trump in the 2016 election — despite her once referring to herself as a “walking protest” of his administration.

The World Cup champion said that not only does her dad support the president, but both her parents regularly tune in to Fox News, which covered her spat with Trump after she balked at the idea of visiting the White House.

“I’m very similar to how [my parents] are, even though I think my dad voted for Trump and I’ll say, ‘I don’t get it. How are you simultaneously as proud as punch of me, and watching Fox News all the time, [who are doing] takedowns of your daughter?’” Rapinoe said in an interview Saturday with the Guardian.

Criticizing her parents’ political leanings, Rapinoe, who grew up in Redding, California, continued, “That’s why I’m like, ‘You guys need to go to therapy.’”

Rapinoe, 33, who came out as gay in 2012, has frequently used her platform to take aim at the Trump administration.

She has protested social injustices by kneeling during the national anthem, as well as refusing at the World Cup to sing along with “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

Sounds like she needs therapy. Can't tolerate anyone not thinking 100% lockstep with her.

Oh look, it sounds like her conservative leaning father is... dare I say it... the actual "open minded" one of the two?! Color me shocked!

It always amazes me how in order to be recognized as "open minded" by the left, there is a prerequisite of thinking just like and agreeing with them.

But yeah Rapinoe... please tell us more about how it is US (conservatives that can be proud of your athletic accomplishments while disagreeing with you socially or politically) that need the therapy.

Maybe they don't define themselves by everything someone they voted for says or does.

The biggest difference I've seen between most Republicans and Democrats (politicians I mean) is that Republicans talk a lot about family values and their personal preferences/opinions about gay marriage and abortion, but rarely do they strongly support legislation about it. Sort of a... You're free to do as you choose, but as for me, I choose ________...

whereas Democrats seem to want to legislate against people's opinions that disagree with theirs... from which there is no compromise. You can't simply 'agree to disagree' with someone who wants to outlaw (as opposed to merely argue against) your opinion.

Of course this isn't 100% and it certainly isn't in the House, where someone is literally representing just a few hundred thousand as opposed to millions or tens of millions.... but I think it generally true.... and the PROOF is the direction that the country has taken.

Despite many years of 'control' by the right, we have not seen a significant expansion of abortion limits or gay rights or even gun control. What we've seen has been more like a massive expansion of healthcare and then minor carve-outs for closely held corporations (as opposed to EVERYONE before).

We HAVE seen more limits on the availability of abortions, especially in a few places... but not on abortions themselves. Availability is a local, not national decision.

yet if someone suggests that SHE does, they're bigots?

RE: Megan Rapinoe reveals her dad voted for Donald Trump
I disagree totally with Rapinoe's political statements, but I've always thought she was a hella good player.

And Hambone, you might be interested in what a left-leaning friend of mine who is one of your fellow Californians (Santa Barbara) said to me the other day, "Conservatives will just go on, no matter how the election turns out. For us, it's all about the election. If we lose, we don't have anything else." I think there's a lot of truth there.

Liberals tend to find their identity in government since they look to the government to answer and solve problems.

Conservatives do not do this. Therefore elections that dont go there way, outside of resulting poor economic and trade policy, are more easily dealt with, as solutions to the problems and challenges of daily life are handled internally as opposed to looking for answers from the government

For many liberals, politics is their religion. Especially for the atheists. But a lot of progressive Christians are trying to make churches political and can't separate the two. Its not like a single issue like abortion, but the whole pantheon of progressive values and Democratic Party principles get interwined, to the degradation of both church and party.
