America’s In a Relationship With the Guy Your Mom Warned You About

In 1991, the film Sleeping With the Enemy hit theaters, showcasing a psychological thriller about a seemingly perfect couple whose domestic life is a living nightmare. I remember watching it in college and thinking that I would never allow a man to treat me that way. I was convinced I was too strong for that.

Fast forward two years, and I found myself in a relationship that had me tiptoeing around, apprehensive and fearful. At first, he was the charming prince, handsome and funny, but over time, the verbal and physical abuse crept in once I was emotionally hooked. A decade later—after four years of marriage, much like the characters in the film—I finally escaped. Fortunately, he had moved on and wasn’t interested in tracking me down.

Now, America is being wooed by a similarly dangerous and controlling figure vying for the presidency. Some supporters adore his every move, using it as a means to channel their pent-up anger. Others are so averse to his opponent that they see him as the lesser evil.

Is Donald Trump the type of guy your mom warned you about? Take this quick quiz to find out!

1. Is He the One Taking Charge?
   Your new beau is charismatic at first, laughing and charming everyone around you. You feel a sense of safety because he seems to have everything under control. But then you start to notice the cracks—he laughs a bit too loudly and scowls when you disagree. He begins to dictate your choices, from your wardrobe to your social circle. When he publicly insults you, you feel ashamed and guilty, convinced you must have provoked him. He insists he has the right to speak his mind, even if it means belittling others.
2. Does He Feed on Fear and Anger?
   You notice friends avoiding him and the discomfort in conversations when he enters the room. One close friend stages an intervention, urging you to see how toxic he is for you. Then, out of nowhere, he lashes out, leaving you reeling. You hide the bruises and rationalize his cruel jokes, as you cling to the belief that he truly loves you. Gradually, his negative remarks erode your self-esteem. I remember my ex saying I wasn’t really his type and belittling my friends. I kept making excuses, even after he struck me.
3. Does He Say He Loves You, But…
   We loved to hate him as the guy who famously declared “You’re fired!” on his reality show. We laughed at his antics from a distance, but his slogan “Make America great again!” comes without context or clarity. You find yourself walking on eggshells, trying to appease him, recalling the charm he once exuded. He assures you that no one loves you like he does and that he can make you better. When you voice your concerns, he dismisses them, labeling you as overly sensitive or politically correct.

Did any of those resonate with you? If you answered “yes,” it’s time to reevaluate this relationship. This political campaign has preyed on fear and anger, inciting resentful segments of the middle class to rise up in ways that tear at the fabric of our nation. Trump’s rhetoric, rife with hate and division, distracts us from what we could improve as a society.

He champions freedom of speech—just for himself—while banning certain media outlets from his gatherings. He downplays political correctness, allowing white supremacists to feel emboldened. Trump’s track record includes infidelity and mockery of veterans, while he professes to love women—but only under his thumb.

Just because he’s not yelling at you today doesn’t mean he won’t tomorrow. Recently, he has vilified various groups, portraying immigrants as criminals and mocking those who are different.

It’s time to break up with him, America. This isn’t the nation we cherish, nor is it the one we want to be. We can still choose to look away from the hateful, grim vision he promotes. When I finally liberated myself from my ex, I saw the damage inflicted. I was battered but began to understand that he was not good for me.

And neither is Donald Trump for us. He’s leaving us with metaphorical black eyes that we can’t ignore.
