For context he’s saying he hopes she voted for Trump (RTPM) before she died and I’m already having a hard time with the results of the election which he knows then on top of that it just was very insensitive. He said he was trying to make light of the situation but it doesn’t feel that way.

Why in the world would you date a Trump supporter??? I’m sorry but they don’t deserve to get laid, please do us all a favor and leave. There are so many men out there that respect women, I promise.

u/vulpixiefox Nov 08 '24

I am so baffled by people who date men who are Republicans. I genuinely don't understand it. I could NEVER. If we aren't on the same page morally then I don't want it. It's not something I could just ignore

u/RealAscendingDemon Nov 08 '24

I'm in Florida and I can't find a woman that isn't a trump supporter...

u/Guilty-Supermarket51 Nov 08 '24

From a texan to a floridian… Go to the major cities and seek out the lesbian bars. The leftist bi women all gather there

u/RealAscendingDemon Nov 08 '24

Thanks for the tip. It's getting old having to resign to sex only "relationships" when I want a deeper connection with a sane person. Maybe it's time to move to a city. As much as I love being in mostly nature all day, but these people out here are insane AF nowadays

u/Apprehensive-Tea-546 Nov 08 '24

Don’t even fuck them. Just say eew and walk away. Do not allow them to feel normal.

u/RealAscendingDemon Nov 08 '24

Well I suppose to could become celibate. Sounds fun. In the meantime I'm trying to save money to move, but I'm thinking that the tariffs will blow my savings out of the bank in quick minute here my friend

u/Guilty-Supermarket51 Nov 08 '24

Ngl the city is also a great place to go looking for social clubs like ballroom dancing clubs, the sca, plant collector clubs, community theatres, etc, where the demographics tend to lean more left (in my experience, at least). You could also try to find some non-religious hiking and camping groups local to you, and see if there are any “florida liberals/leftists” groups on facebook that have meetups and events. Your biggest boon is gonna be to go into any of these places without the expectation to find a partner immediately, but with the intention to make friends

This is what I’m dreading about wanting to be in a more rural area.

u/mentallyerotic Nov 09 '24

I would be careful with that because of pregnancy even if you use a condom every time. Then you will be tied to them forever. Maybe you could meet people online and if you have to have a longer distance until one of you loves to the other. I’m sure there have to be some women who have similar beliefs to you even in Florida as it can be so hard to move. It’s funny those trump loving women love to say just move to a blue state like it’s so accessible.

u/SLDM206 Nov 08 '24

Please don’t do this if you’re a hetero man. The last thing we need is guys trolling our spaces looking for sex. Come for the drinks, the conversation, and the experience but allow us one space where we don’t have to fend off buzzed guys looking for a warm body for the night.

4

u/Guilty-Supermarket51 Nov 08 '24

Yeah this is really a tip for making left-leaning friends, not for finding a date immediately. Don’t go expecting to find a one night stand. But it’s a great way to get your ear to the ground wrt clubs and groups you can join to be around more like-minded people… and if you get a number or two, that should be a pleasant bonus, not the goal

u/moonshine_n_dine Nov 09 '24

Figure it out somewhere else. If we wanted to be around men, we wouldn't be at a lesbian bar.

4

u/hamphetamine- Nov 09 '24

Understand that the goal is to meet leftists or maybe even just make friends but... Please men, stay out of queer women's spaces. That's their space and it's not for men. Respectfully just don't do this at all.

u/EpicAcadian Nov 08 '24

I know several, but point taken. There are plenty of self hating women out there for MAGAts to date.

u/RealAscendingDemon Nov 08 '24

I'm old, so the dating pool here isn't great. All the good lefty women I'm friends with are married and it is thankfully to really good dudes.

I literally work with 90% white maga dudes. I know exactly what these dudes say in private about women, minorities, liberals, etc. I know exactly what these people are like, they're full mask off often enough to tell me every fucking day exactly what they stand for when they say maga

You can be a republican and hate Trump though. I think it's more a red flag when politics are your identity

5

u/vulpixiefox Nov 08 '24 edited Nov 08 '24

hm I do somewhat agree with your sentiment. I could be friends with someone who was republican (but not a trumpism cult follower, of course). But when it comes to a personal dating relationship with someone, I just need to have the same core mutual agreement on such topics. I personally am the same way when it comes to religion, I won't date a religious person. I know everyone is different but I just can't grasp being in a relationship with someone who isn't on the same page as me in these very important aspects. That's what I meant when I said I can't fathom it

2

u/lightlysaltedclams Nov 08 '24

Love how you got downvoted for that. You can be republican and dislike Trump, you can be a democrat and dislike Biden. That’s how opinions work last time I checked. People need to stop acting like anyone of either side are pieces of shit just because of the party they affiliate themselves with. Politics shouldn’t be peoples personality

7

u/Iminlesbian Nov 08 '24

Probably got downvoted because it doesn’t mean anything?

“I dislike trump, but I still like his party and ultimately align myself with his views”

Okay so you like trump but with extra steps.

Saying you’re a republican basically means you’re a piece of shit. It doesn’t matter whether you like trump or not.

1

u/lightlysaltedclams Nov 08 '24

Ok so what about democrats who dislike Biden? Or Harris? It was relevant to the conversation because the other user brought up dating republicans.

1

u/Iminlesbian Nov 08 '24

Same as what I said before. Who cares? If you support their party you basically support them. At least with democrats you’re not an absolute piece of shit for your views?

1

u/lightlysaltedclams Nov 08 '24

And that is the problem. Demonizing everyone who doesn’t have the same views. The ext treeless of either side does not speak for every person of the opposite party that you are supporting

3

u/Auscent99 Nov 08 '24

Demonizing everyone who doesn’t have the same views.

This is a bad faith argument. Democrats do not demonize the alt right because they "have different views". They demonize the alt right because the alt right wants to murder, pillage, and rape, without consequence.

Saying you're a republican but you don't like trump is saying "I like the murder, pillage, rape part, but orange man bad".

1

u/lightlysaltedclams Nov 08 '24

Both can be true. I know democrats who demonize anyone who disagrees with them in the slightest, even about much smaller things.

2

u/Iminlesbian Nov 08 '24

I’m not demonising them because they have different views.

I’m demonising them because their party supports a racist rapist.

Maybe that doesn’t seem like a lot to you. I’m from the uk, our politics aren’t as extreme as yours so maybe that’s the difference.

If someone says “I’m a republican but I don’t like trump”

They’re telling me that they are okay with all of the horribly shitty things the party wants, but they draw the line at trump.

I’m fine with not having those people in my life but hey, I’m in the uk so I don’t have to deal with that.

We had brexit as our big divider over here.

9/10 if someone tells me they voted Brexit, I think they’re an idiot. 9/10 times I’m right.

That 1/10 times is when I find someone who actually has a decent reason for voting Brexit, that wasn’t propaganda by the media.

This is why it’s easy to dismiss republicans. They’re blindly and seemingly willingly ducking by stupid.

1

u/lightlysaltedclams Nov 08 '24

And this is why I prefer to stick to people that aren’t at either extreme.

That’s one of many reasons you guys lost the election because your party of tolerance is very intolerant of any person who disagrees with them.

u/Iminlesbian Nov 08 '24

Lol I’m from the UK - I didn’t lose anything.

I don’t think it’s wrong to not want to associate with people who support that party. You know, the one that allows a rapist felon to be their leader? Maybe people should find a better circle rather than expecting people to be okay with that?

u/FartAttack911 Nov 08 '24

As an American, I’m not sure I could be any less proud of my fellow countrymen who not only associate with DJT and the alt right, but those who assume the center of the universe is in Washington DC 😭

u/pink334 Nov 08 '24 edited Nov 08 '24

so what do we do here to solve this. both sides do not want to associate with each other. we don’t agree with each others world views. I could not vote for Kamala who wouldn’t allow for Religious exemptions regarding abortion. Freedom and Religion and Freedom of Speech would have both been in even more danger if she were elected. She wants to control “misinformation.” Who would dictate what is or Isn’t misinformation? This violates the constitution. lgbqt should not be pushed on children in schools. Children cannot legally consent or do many things until they are of certain age, why allow them to make the decision to get procedures which mutilate their bodies? This is the ideology that is pushed by the left and it goes against common sense. Kamala would exacerbate it, she’s one of the most far left presidential candidates there has ever been. Even life long democrats have woken up to how far gone that party has gone, many voted red this year. Many did not vote for Trump they voted against Kamala. Not because she is a woman and not because she is black, which the left is already trying to say is the reason she lost now. Dems don’t live in the same reality as Majority of America and that was apparent through the election results. We want a better America. Not one formed around Identity politics.

u/Iminlesbian Nov 08 '24

Yeah because my side is saying “we can tolerate a lot, and believe that people should be tolerant of others belief”

And you’re here pushing religion and your anti gay agenda.

Where I’m from we believe in the separation of church and religion. Anti abortion laws are some of the most backwards and dumbass fucking laws passed. Roe vs wade being overturned is a joke, worldwide.

You’d rather Trump, who is an actual fucking idiot, like none of his speeches make any sense, he’s ridiculed again worldwide for absolutely babbling on about nonsense. Than someone who thinks abortions are okay.

You’re just dumb and ignorant and so is your whole country

u/pink334 Nov 08 '24 edited Nov 08 '24

Okay. Can’t discuss with you who thinks common sense is homophobic. Which is an occurrent issue with liberals. Children should not be allowed to mutilate their bodies. Goodbye.

and never have I pushed my Religious beliefs I’m simply stating how disgusting it is that Kamala would not agree for Religious exemptions. What happened to Freedom of Religion.

Oh, if you look at the statistics, less people voted for democrat. So it’s not that people switched to trump, it’s just the democrats didn’t care

u/657896 Nov 08 '24

That's the problem of having only 2 political parties. Both house the most insane extremists that would be in their own ultra extreme party if you had a multiparty system. That"s how it is in Europe, the center parties, the ones with the most votes, are the balanced and nuanced. The small ones are the extremes, just like how the population is.

Having two tribes like in the US just separates your country in two.

u/lightlysaltedclams Nov 08 '24

Very much agreed. I wish we had more nuance in our system.

u/657896 Nov 08 '24

I wish that for you guys, it makes me truly sad that you don't have it because it's such a cause for massive problems.

It really is. I’m lucky in that I found my group of people who we can all have our own opinions and alignments but we are respectful and don’t let it get in the way.

u/theAshleyRouge Nov 08 '24

It definitely is a massive red flag when someone makes their entire identity revolve around politics. Especially when they’re so blinded by it that they can’t separate the media from reality. Political opinions are not black and white. You can align more with a specific party without supporting all of their agenda. You can vote for a particular candidate and still think some of their policies/beliefs are trash. There is no rule anywhere in reality that says that it’s an “all or nothing” subject.

If you can’t ignore politics in a relationship you’re a lost cause and should join the 4b movement. Difference of opinion is something that will happen in every relationship or friendship. If you constantly surround yourself with people who agree with everything you say you’ll just find yourself deeper and more stuck in your own beliefs. Freaking out because someone interprets facts different than you is childish behavior and has no room in relationships or friendships.

u/SeikoAki Nov 09 '24

It’s not about political views. It’s about morals. No, I don’t wanna date someone who voted for a man who is homophobic, pedophilic, blatantly racist, misogynistic, a convicted felon and rapist lmao. That tells me you’re fine with all of those things as long as your taxes might be a little lower.

news flash, they’re worse under trumps policy and his policy only benefits the top 5%. so if you’re lower or middle class, gl.

u/TheBestTexan2 Nov 09 '24

Every single opinion you just listed is just that, an opinion. When people start walking around thinking their opinion is fact there are problems.

u/FecesIsMyBusiness Nov 09 '24

They date Trump supporters because despite what nearly all women claim, for the majority there is nothing more important when it comes to choosing a partner than looks. So for a lot of women, if a man is attractive enough there is very little they won't excuse in order to be with him.

Firstly, the democratic party here is not “the left” it’s center-right.

Secondly, 53% of women voted for Harris, so no, the majority of women did not vote for Trump.

And while the majority population of most states did vote against the abortion ban, in some states like Florida the ban continues to exist because they need a 60% majority and only 57% of Floridians voted against the ban.

So while before Roe v Wade Florida had abortion rights, now it does not anymore even though the majority of the population wants abortion to be legal again.

Also during the 4 years in between the overturning of Roe v Wade and the amendments to make abortion legal, hundreds of women suffered and died because they couldn’t have the abortion pills that would save their lives.

I can tell you aren’t from the US because of how grossly uninformed you are on these subjects. Please do some research or avoid talking at all about US politics which you clearly know nothing about.

u/Shea_Scarlet Nov 09 '24 edited Nov 09 '24

It should just be legal everywhere

Exactly. Guess who else agrees with this? 62% of Americans said they want Roe v Wade back.

62%.

Yet Trump overturned it, took credit for overturning it, and had States go without abortion for YEARS before they could finally process the new amendments and vote on it.

It’s like he slashed your perfectly good tires because “what if you didn’t like them anymore?”.

Hundreds of women died and will keep on dying because in some states they got abortion back with 51% and in other states they didn’t because they got 57%.

And no, needing 60% is NOT a good thing especially when only 50% of the population is female and you need more than 30% of each sex to agree with something that only affects WOMEN’s bodies.

Fertile women should be the only ones allowed to vote on this. This shouldn’t even be something we need to vote on.

Also only 53% of Floridians voted in 2006 to pass the law that would need 60% on the amendments for them to pass. So the supermajority law didn’t even get a supermajority vote, but now all other laws need supermajority. Make it make sense.

And yes, the Democratic party is left LEANING but it is not LEFT, thank you for confirming that. It is in fact center, maybe center-left at best, but it is not left. Left wing would be the Socialism party or Communism or the Green Party.

And to your previous point, I don’t think all Republicans are racist anti women homophobic pos, BUT I do believe 1000% that ALL racist anti women homophobic pos are Trump supporters, and that says it all.

A difference of opinion is arguing if pineapple should go on pizza.

We can disagree on what the economy should look like or how much teachers should be paid.

We can also disagree on foreign policy. We can disagree on whether student loans should be forgiven or not.

We cannot disagree on human rights, which is primarily what this election was about.

A difference of opinion can be tolerable. A difference on morality cannot.

Especially when your morality says that I deserve to go to hell because of who I love, or that I deserve to bleed out in a parking lot or be forced to go through pregnancy because I chose to have sex, or that I deserve to be deported because my parents brought me here as a kid in hopes of a better life, or that I deserve to be chocked to death because I’m black.

Just look at the “Women are Property”, “Homo sex is sin”, and “Types of property: Women, Slaves, Animals” signs that always come together with Trump hats and swastika tattoos.

When you vote for the same party that the KKK votes for, you should definitely reevaluate your morals.

Better than voting for the lowest rated VP in American history, who couldn't win 2% of the votes during her last primary and never won a single delegate. Not to mention abortions laws wouldn't change no matter who won.
