I used to be open to dating Republican women, Then I actually dated one. Now I'm no longer open to dating Republican women.
Yes but that's not the biggest problem. Selfishness is the biggest problem as far as relationships are concerned. Every Republican I've ever known has this attitude that their view of things, which is invariably biased in their interests, is the only possible correct one and that anyone who disagrees is both extremely dumb and morally inferior. With friends this is not the biggest problem because you don't have to share stuff with them. In a relationship though, it becomes really problematic fast.
Hell, I wouldn't even befriend someone who voted Republican. Any friend, close or not, that has voted Republican got a kick out of my circle.
Honestly, it's not the "vote republican" part for me, it's who they actually voted for. There's plenty of conservatives I can have a civil conversation with. If you voted for Trump though, I don't want anything to do with you. Got nothing to say.
You've not paid attention in the last 50 years as to what Republicans in general have done to the country whenever they're in power. They are always the steps-backward party and anyone who votes them, support this country being chopped down of what democracy fabric that there was.
And you help support that.
You most likely have a few friends who voted Republican and you just don't know it.
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
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
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.
Lincoln was totally willing to keep slavery to end the civil war.
The thing about Lincoln wasn't that he was willing to keep slavery to end the war. Virtually everyone was willing to do that.
Lincoln was willing to end slavery to end the war. This was the truly revolutionary view and the reason he's so celebrated.
So he freed the southern slaves and ordered the South burned to the ground instead
I don't think you get to rampage all the way into Gettysburg, looting and burning and raping and massacring your way straight through the heart of the Midwest, and then discover moralism during Sherman's March.
He wasn’t the abolitionist hero American history portrays him as.
He literally was, though. He wielded abolition, first as a weapon to bleed the Confederacy dry and then as a sucture to knit a new nation out of the 13th-15th amendments.
He achieved policy the most radical abolitionists hadn't even dreamed of ten years prior. An absolute living legend.
If only he'd made Butler his VP or... idk... ducked.
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.
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
seems like a valid stance against a party that wants to let rapists choose their baby-mammas.
and its not like its not been in the news
I just love the headline with the little undertitle 😁
If that's what you think you need to work on your reading skills.
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.
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.)
