It’s crazy town to me that she would think that way based on what we know of her, what does it say about her core beliefs then if she rationalizes it that way. It reminds of a saying when I was growing up...
“show me your friends, and I will tell you the kind of person you are”...all jmho.

I bet he knows how to treat a woman and is all manly and protective. Imo she’ll love it and ignore his hate speech if it doesn’t affect her directionally. We’ll see.

I will be really disappointed if she just ignores his hate speech. How she handles this will tell me a lot about her character IMO. She is a lovely person inside and out and I want great things for her. Garrett being her F1 is very disappointing.I was so looking forward to this season and it feels like a train wreck TBH.

I don't agree with this at all (if I were Becca, I'd totally be pulling a Brad right now and CC'ing him a breakup email), but I think that if you're trying to justify someone's actions because you're deeply in love with them and have envisioned this whole future and are embarrassed/terrified of the possibility of having a second broken engagement...this is easier to excuse because he didn't say it himself. It was a like and that's easier to BS about ("babe, I don't actually think Parkland was a conspiracy! I just thought it was a funny coincidence!" "Oh, I just liked that post because it reminded me of hunting when I was little!") and it's easier to accept that BS. I don't think he's that type of overt bigot who is going to call her gay friends the f word or scream at immigrants walking down the street. I think his type of intolerance is much more hidden and it's probably easy to justify as him just being more "traditional" or "boys will be boys!" type of thing. It's disappointing, but I don't expect anything else from Becca at this point. IMO.

Le Sigh.

But well, Ed did change (at least I think?) when he met the right woman. Or at least keeps the womanizing on the dl so maybe G will open up his mind if Becca is the right woman for him. I mean, he’s probably from an area where everyone believes what he believes. These idiots don’t just grow naturally in the wild by themselves imo, so who knows what kind of concoction can be created if he’s mixed with someone like Becca imo.
