I used to be open to dating Republican women, Then I actually dated one. Now I’m no longer open to dating Republican women.
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.
Good girl
The majority of white women voted for Trump, tho
Your point? The garbage is welcome to other garbage. As a white woman, I would never date, fuck, or marry a Republican.
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.
That joke was funny when I first heard it, 20 years ago
A Democrat and a Republican walk into a bar. The Democrat asks what the draft of the day is. The Republican is confused about the term “draft” and begins laughing nervously mumbling something about “bone spurs”.
The bartender asks the Democrat if his friend is retarded to which he responds, “we don’t use that word. He’s mentally challenged.”
The Republican becomes irrationally angry at hearing the Democrat defend him and pulls out a gun and points it at the Democrat.
The bartender shouts, “hey, we have a no guns policy!”
In response the Republican points the gun at the bartender and screeches out, “REEEEEEEEEE!”
The bartender lifts his hands up to show he’s not a threat and the Republican screams out, “STOP RESISTING! YOUR BAR MY CHOICE!” and shoots at the bartender.
The bullet misses the bartender and ricochets back to hit the Republican in the dick and he collapses on the floor.
At this moment, there is a commotion in the back of the bar where five burly men come rushing up to the Republican on the floor and begin kicking the shit out of him spraying blood everywhere.
Whilst they violently beat the dickless man some are shouting, “sex changes are immoral you removed piece of shit!” and, “I bet your ass is real tight you fucking fairy!”
after 10 minutes the group of Republicans slow down from exhaustion but they seem to be chanting something under their breath, “your body, my choice. your body, my choice.”
Eventually they leave and the Democrat and bartender stare in complete shock. After a minute the bartender asks the Democrat if he wants him to call the police. The Democrat responds, “Can’t you see he’s already dead! Just drape a flag over him. It’s what he would have wanted.”
The bartender acknowledges the request and holds up the only flag in the bar to ask, “Is this ok, it’s the only flag I have.” To which the Democrat responds, “It’s perfect.”
The Democrat takes the rainbow flag and drapes it over the dead Republican. He then looks down at the flag soaked in blood, “He died doing what he loved the most. Sticking it to liberals and getting fucked by five men.”
I don’t know what you’re on, but could you hook me up with some?
this is my coping mechanism.
Don’t be short minded. They may go so far right that they become the most liberal. Like a circle. Pigs will probably fly on their own power first though.
This reads like a pisstake of the average social media user
If that’s what you think you need to work on your reading skills.
