PSA: this is not meant to be about politics, I don’t care what your beliefs in regards to that are nor do I want to hear them. I would prefer answers specifically about the content of the post and nothing else.

So I(m26) have been dating my gf(f24) for abt 7 months now and we’ve generally had a pretty healthy relationship; we’ve only had a couple arguments here and there which have generally been resolved pretty quickly, we share a lot of the same interests, etc. Now, back in November, I told her that I was voting for Trump and why I was doing so. I also told her that politics are important to me as I am aspiring to be a politician later in my career. I told her that who she voted for was important and she should think about it and choose the candidate that aligns with her beliefs the best. She told me about a week before the election she decided she wanted to vote for trump. Now fast forward to today. I decided to host a barbecue and told her she should come and bring some of her friends. Now for some relevant info, I have a thin blue line flag(black and white American flag with a blue stripe) and an American flag hanging in my backyard near the back door. She arrives with her best friend, a girl I had met a few times, and two girls I haven’t met before. When they get to the backyard and see the flags, one of the girls I haven’t met said “ew why do you have that flag” (referring to the thin blue line flag) so I replied saying I had it to show my support for law enforcement. So she said “yeah but why would you have that flag if you voted for Kamala?” I stood there kind of confused and my girlfriend’s face went a little pale. I said “I don’t know what you’re talking about, I voted for trump.” She looks over at my girlfriend and says “I thought you said he supported Kamala.” At that point it sort of clicked for me that she had lied to her friends about my political beliefs because they were all liberals. At this point her friend says “f this I’m not eating with someone who doesn’t think I should have rights” and left with the other girl I didn’t know and the one I met a couple times, leaving my girlfriend and her best friend with me. I ask her if we can talk inside and once we get to my room, after a little prodding, she basically tells me that she told all of her friends that we were both voting for Kamala and her friends were saying that anyone who voted for trump was a piece of crap so she just voted for Kamala because she was “afraid of being left out” (which is honestly one of the dumbest reasons for picking a candidate I’ve ever heard). I told her to leave and that I needed to some space to think about things.

Honestly I just don’t know what I should do atp. I feel so disrespected for being lied to and for having lies spread about me, but I also really love this girl and would hate for politics to be the reason we break up.

TLDR: my gf told me she was voting for trump then lied to her friends about my political beliefs and voted for Kamala instead.
