That’s like saying your country voted to elect him let’s not split hairs |

So would I. I’m a Dem married to a Republican. When we married 20 years ago he was pretty middle of the road. Fiscal conservative, strong defense, and pretty much stayed out of social issues. He was even pro-choice back then. Then Fox News went apesh*t over a black President, and DH went right with them. Born in Kenya, all that nonsense. Then Trump came, and life has not been the same in our house. I don’t discuss politics with him but he just can’t keep his mouth shut. So my advice to my daughter now is do not get serious with someone whose politics are different from your own. If you want to advertise it up front and save time and headaches, go right ahead. |

Fixed it got you. Also a Trump supporter could say they are not racist, care about women’s health, LGBT rights and jobs for persons in the trades, but that does not make it so. |

I married Republican too. But he is a never Trumper. I’m sorry this happened to you. |

If we took the word Republican away, and instead I said I wouldn’t date someone who didn’t believe in my right to bodily autonomy, who didn’t believe in equal rights for same sex couples, and who did not see any problems with racial disparities in policing in America, I would be filtering out the same people. I consider those moral issues, but saying “no republicans” avoids the same subset |

Clearly there is no reasoning with you either. You have your opinion, period. I don't care, at all. I hate Trump. But I find it distressing that many liberals can't see that they are no different in their blindly held ideas and refuse to "be reasoned with" regarding any other opinion other than their own, |

Not PP but at this point Trump and his supporters have made their case. My opinions about him aren't "blindly held," they're based on watching him campaign twice and run the country for four years. What more do you expect from people? |

Democracy = Free money, handouts, live off the Government cheese. You like working and paying for someone else’s bills while they stay home? You’re nuts… |

So you are against Democracy and you think that it means government handouts. Usually Trumpers at least say Socialism is the bad guy. What is preferable to Democracy then, smart guy? Fascism? Dictatorship? Trump as Presidente for Life? |

This. My H was middle of the road, even liberal on some issues. Then he went nuts when Trump came around. I couldn’t have a civil discussion with him, he’s get extremely emotional and start attacking my character (“I forgot you’re one of those FEMINISTS”). Would spend all night watching alt right YouTube videos and would legit cry over how hard it is to be a white male. There were many factors that contributed to our divorce, this was one. It was awful, I’d come home and he’d immediately bombard me with whatever political issue he had watched a video on, and even if I just remained politely quiet he’d get angry at me for not agreeing. A lot of misogyny also developed, he believed I was taking advantage of him for his money, he stopped contributing around the house, and a belief he had access to my body whenever he wanted. I tell my daughters to never get involved with conservative men, or even moderates. There’s a high risk they will become more extreme as they age. Ideal is a man who is a feminist, does his own internal work, and fights misogyny. |

As a 45 year old man dating, I generally stay away from people who are political ideologues. Just not my style. So, no Trumpers for me. I also try to stay away from people who inject politics into everything so the hyper progressives also get on my no fly list.
Agree with others, 20 years ago, I didn't care what political party my date was. It was such a non-issue. It's sad how divided we have become. |

I agree that we should stop giving hand outs to farmers, big corporations, tax write offs... all welfare. If you can't afford your own bills I should not have to pay them. Stop spending my money on fake wars. Stop the spending and handouts. |

| I want a partner whose values align with mine, which is why I don’t want to date a Trumper. It’s also why a Trumper shouldn’t want to date me - we simply are not compatible as dating partners. Could we peacefully co-exist, and even be friendly, as neighbors or co-workers? Sure. But not in an intimate relationship. So if I say “no Trumpers” in my dating profile, I’m saving both of us some wasted time. Respect the candor and move on, don’t argue with me about it because you’re only proving why I should do it. |

| I'm not automatically turning away a conservative or GOPer as I know many, am friends with some and all are good people, but I am not interested in dating or otherwise spending time with a Trumper/Q follower. That is a special breed of crazy. No thank you please. |

I’ve never voted republican in a presidential election and I’d agree with this. The thing is that both parties have lurched to the extreme and only support the tail ends of the bell shaped curve. Moderates no longer have a party. And, everyone has been exposed to so much propaganda, DARVOing, fear mongering, trolling from foreign adversaries to stir up divisiveness and 24 hour news dedicated to political platforms that who knows what is real and what isn’t? People have become so dedicated to their blatantly lying political parties that they’d rather cutoff friends or family than associate with them. And guess what? That shows that all the political tactics are working. We’re all so dedicated to our lying politicians that we would fight each other before listening to each other. For me, I don’t like any political extremists but I do find moderate conservative women more enjoyable to be around. |
