    if you wanted to get mildly conspiratorial about it, you could say they phrased it that way to make you feel sympathy/pity for her because they don’t want you to think she did anything wrong

      Makes me less sympathetic for her. Her having kids though & being part of that MAGA culture is VERY concerning though. But you know… there are lots of men & women that don’t think too deeply about politics & many that don’t share their spouses politics as well. It surprises me - but I honestly don’t think someone wakes up crazy one day.

      Also spouses that get surprised later most likely didn’t know because they were too afraid to ask &/or probe into meaningful & telling areas for one reason or another. And many just go along to get along, & I hate that as I couldn’t be attracted to anyone w/ shitty political beliefs & I feel like others should do the same so us that care aren’t stuck looking for partners or a partner unknowingly being w/ a crazy person.

      Or, “She’s a mother? Those poor kids. I have kids, I would never do that.” It’s probably “they’re putting away a mother!” but one could hope.
