My girlfriend (24F) and myself (24M) are having issues with differences in politics

Hi everyone! For context my girlfriend (24F) and myself (24M) have been going out for almost four years this April. We both have very different political opinions, I lean more to the conservative side and she is heavy on the democratic side.

Well safe to say this past election has driven a wedge in our relationship that I never have thought possible. She does not agree with my political stance which is perfectly fine, I support her in whatever she deems her position in politics is. But she does not give me the same support. Yes I voted for Trump this election because I felt that more of his policies aligned with what I believed in; granted not everything he has done/said I have agreed with and I have made that point countless times.

Long story short every time politics gets mentioned she gets extremely upset and usually hyperventilates/has a panic attack. The other night she mentioned that every time she hears something Trump has signed or said she gets mad at me personally. And came out and said that she doesn’t think it’s fair to me that she does it and that she doesn’t know if she can handle being in a relationship with someone that voted for Trump.

Before the election when Biden and Kamala were in office we had no issues in our relationship other than the normal couple arguments here and there. I obviously do not want to break up over politics, I find it childish that it would have that large of an impact between two people. The other night over FaceTime I recommended that she should seek a therapist to help her formulate her thoughts and get clarity on why it affects her so much, which she thought was a good idea. I am just unsure if that is going to help since I feel like I have exhausted every other idea to fix the situation.

I love my girlfriend and do not want to breakup with her. If she breaks up with me I will accept it and try to move on but I want to at least try and fix things. What does everyone think about this situation? I’d like to know if some of you have been in a similar position. Do you really think breaking up is the only way?

Side note I know that politics is a very touchy subject and I don’t mean to offend anyone I just am looking for help in my relationship. Any advice or input would help thank you!
