But I feel like it IS hard to maintain relationships with MAGA people - they have a super specific viewpoint and a hard time deviating from it - and a big part of the lifestyle is anger. Another big part is it’s almost like evangelical Christianity - you have to constantly be trying to preach it or you’re not doing it right.
I’ve dated and, ahem, enjoyed Republican women - people who have a different and sometimes completely 180 view on politics but we’ve always been able to agree on, like, Bud Light or Patagonia fleeces. I can deal with a friend, but I couldn’t date a MAGA woman - I feel like she wouldn’t be able to share so many of the things I like and value - television, books, etc
Btw, start your own thread if you want to talk about how hard it must be to date a Democrat, I don’t care to hear it.
I find this so odd. It seems that DC is in a bubble. Most people think they are more intelligent when it comes to social issues, politics and the economy in this area. The truth however is just the opposite. You see, DC is in a bubble of its own. While the rest of the country deals with the effects of decisions made my our politicians, we say immune from much of the bad decisions made here. People in other areas are actually much more attuned to economic matters because they live them. We just talk about them, while making salaries that the rest of the country could only dream about.
Most of the country is MAGA, and we are just too blind to see it. We are the exact same this as chronic welfare recipients discussing what should be done to keep them paid.
