I'm a man and I'd never date a Republican either.
A person's politics are a reflection of their values: if they're willing to identify themselves as someone who validates all that fascist shit, then I want nothing to do with them.
It's crazy to me that this take is even remotely controversial.
I was raised with Republican beliefs, but got off that train during the 2nd GWB admin. The times were there were any middle ground to find between mixed political couples is long gone. When the only topics anyone spends time debating are morality, religion, and discrimination, what middle ground can exist? Facts don't weigh into debates for Republicans anymore. They have chosen feelings in the face of data. They choose to knowingly follow ignorance. It becomes a zero-sum game, where they either wear you down into going along with them, or they get ignored and cut off.
Being open to others' opinions, experiences, and education helped me to see a different world view, but it didn't seem so frowned upon back then. But now the desire to get rid of the Board of Education, promote a purposefully biased curriculum, and treated the educated as an enemy, I don't know how people are supposed to get shown a different truth than what they have been indoctrinated into.
They debate morality? I thought they'd abandoned morals afte integrity stopped being a thing.
They do have principles, however oddly flexible they may be.
My family and the gf's are probably 90% conservative. They know I'm not, and to an extent they treat me differently. But I don't think they'd wish anything bad on me as they might a stranger.
You see this in the face eating leopard articles where they're always like "I never wanted them deported, they're one of the good ones.". Once they get to know someone, they see they're really not so different at the core and that they're good honest people like they see themselves.
I really think it's just some bad wiring in the empathy part of the brain. Most of these people still have a chance to learn better views on the issues. Some may truly be hateful misanthropes, but I feel that is a very small minority.
It's easy to hate conservatives right now, and I won't say anyone is wrong to be angry. The only non-violent way we preserve rights though is by getting people to understand strangers and develop that empathy.
Most of us probably know a number of hard to love people right now, but it's taken time to make them ignorant and hateful, so we can give up on them or we can put time into undoing what has been done to them. I can't tell anyone what is right for them, but it's something we all need to bear in mind.
It's only controversial for those who are being called out on being terrible people on a moral level.
Republican men tend to expect (demand) all women be open and willing to date them, also to become ultra submissive to them and warp their entire lives around whatever the dude desires. It's fucked up but it's a real problem if you're a woman. (Non-Republican men and even women can also have similar expectations, but there's a reason "Would you date a Republican man?" is a meme.)
I used to be open to dating Republican women, Then I actually dated one. Now I'm no longer open to dating Republican women.
Good girl
The majority of white women voted for Trump, tho
the majority of those who voted, not to mention most of them are well in their 50s and probably already married
And they are racist shitbags
Your point? The garbage is welcome to other garbage. As a white woman, I would never date, fuck, or marry a Republican.
I had sex with someone last night who very likely voted for Kamala Harris
Scared of their hubby probably
Or drinking from the same well of propaganda.
The idea that men can be duped by a wall of Murdoch press but women can't seems dubious.
Presumably the one asking is the Republican... Ditch her.
Sorry about the fucking idiots, and thanks for not fucking the idiots.
Lincoln weeps
If he'd weep at all, it wouldn't be because a woman says she wouldn't be interested in him because of his politics – it'd be because of what's become of his politics.
i only date propublicans.
Would I save a drowning republican, if I had the ability to snap my fingers and plop them on dry land?
Gonna be the long answer.
