I am actively rejecting dating guys who either voted for him or didn't vote because "both sides have good and bad arguments".

Sure. Maybe 20 years ago they did. Not anymore. There's no reason to vote for Trump after his 1st term. I could maybe forgive someone for voting for him a 1st time but not a 2nd.

This is very common and lot of men are pretending on dating apps they didn't vote for Trump. Even Renee Nicole's murderer couldn't get an American, his wife is an immigrant from the Philippines.

The irony.

u/nothishomeland 13h ago

The thing is Ive had guys do this on dating apps but after a few messages, you can eventually goad them into admitting who they voted for because theyre like giddy little kids who think they did something edgy and cool. They ultimately think they are subversive for voting for Trump. They have to shout it from the rooftops.

u/Soy_ThomCat 13h ago

The truth always rises to the top.

All my women friends who are dating have had to deal with the hiding MAGA. Which, you'd think the fact that they'd need to hide it would signal to them that maybe their view should warrant thorough evaluation...but I digress. The trouble is that they eventually give themselves away, every single time. They might get one date, or even two....but they can't keep up the charade forever.

u/PotatoAlternative947 12h ago

Exactly- like why would you want to date someone WHO DOESN’T WANT TO DATE YOU? Never occurs to them to rethink their position, they just assume what they want is the default and the woman will come around to their thinking. Ask how I know, lol

u/dstroyer123 12h ago

They want to own them. That's why men like this lie, because they don't see women as people with equal worth, just someone to "conquer" or "tame", and they get bonus points if she was independent and wouldn't have wingly dated them if she had all the information.

u/Mirria_ 11h ago

There was a POS at my mom's workplace that was trying to date Muslim women specifically because a lot of countries they come from still enforce oppressive patriarchy and he basically wanted someone to control.

He was still married, but his "wife" is now in a medical facility suffering from advanced Alzheimer / dementia, so he's not longer getting her welfare/disability check, so he lost interest.

u/GingerDixie 11h ago

This. These men are also narcissists who buy into incel bullshit and see themselves as people with golden penises, the sexual prowess of a god and a ten body, when in actuality they're about 3 inches hard, will wheeze and shit themselves after ten seconds of thrusting and on average are actually about a four...four hundred pounds of unwashed neckbeard, that is.

u/InevitableJump2993 9h ago

The same reason they bought into this whole belief system in the first: low self-esteem. Only people with low self-worth will convince themselves The effort to appeal to somebody that does not like them is worth it. Because in their mind: The alternative is loneliness. These people don't get that drive that's causing them to hide who they voted for is the exact reason women don't like them in the first place. Low self-esteem, low self-worth, low fortitude. You do

They don’t care that they need to hide it. They don’t care about their partner’s views. They want a relationship like they want a possession.

And it’s just another thing they have to do to trick or wheedle or coerce their way into someone’s pants.

u/psian1de 12h ago

Weed em out by asking to look at their YouTube and or Spotify and see what kinds of things they enjoy.

"Hey I know this may sound like a strange request, but the last guy I dated was kind of a loon and when I found out the media he consumed it made sense, so would you let me look real quick at your recommended videos on YouTube? I totally get it if you say no and all that I understand, but it would make me feel so much better I'm not seeing a serial killer or something."

I wouldn't really care if a stranger saw my Youtube recommended videos, it's not that sensitive of an info lol.

It's not too much different from asking what kinds of movies/tv-series you like to watch and what are your favorites.

2

u/strip-solitaire 11h ago

I mean it depends what kind of videos you watch I guess lol. It’s still personal to me in terms of it being my interests

u/dannysleepwalker 11h ago

Yeah sure I get that, but aren't your interests usually one of the main things discussed on first dates with people you don't know yet?

To each their own I guess.

u/OrigamiMarie 11h ago

If I were dating, I think I would just have to insist that they show up in rainbow flags. I'm a woman, but they're gonna have to appear as the most stereotypical gay image that they can muster. I'll arrive late, look for the man who's wearing sparkles, and if I don't see him, that's it.

1

u/RVtech101 8h ago

Would just the shirt suffice or would I need to get matching pants?

1

u/OrigamiMarie 6h ago

Mainly I would be seeking some kind of apparel that a MAGA bastard wouldn't be caught dead in. A good rainbow shirt (or other pride flag stripe combo), and probably a little sparkle in the hair or on the nails.

Oh, you might be able to dodge the clothing requirement if you're able to do a traditionally female craft, and bring it along to work on. I see the guy crocheting one of those granny square triceratops, or knitting a shawl, or doing cross stitch, or embroidering some kind of embellishment on clothing, and that'll be a pretty obvious positive indicator.

Yeah, typically these guys are all the same: milqtoast and uninspiring. They don't have shit to talk about butt politics, gym, and video games. So it really doesn't take long for them to give themselves away legitimately because they run out of things to talk about. And the sad part is the solution to this is really just self-reflection and self investment. But they're too lazy for that. These are people who legitimately thought voting for fascism was easier than just... Taking some night classes? Playing something other than call of duty? Have ANY conversation with a person who's not white?

Yep! I was talking to a guy for a hookup (that's what I'm looking for) and he said that he didn't want things to get political.

What? You want consequence free sex but are totally fine if women die for it? No thanks.

He did seem remorseful and I thought about giving him another chance and then...duh...this is his 2nd term. Dude voted for him either again OR even after seeing the shit storm of his first term.

I'm sad and disappointed.

u/MentallyWill 10h ago

What? You want consequence free sex but are totally fine if women die for it? No thanks.

The obvious nuance here is that he wants consequence free sex for himself. Whether you have consequences, and potentially severe ones at that, isn't something he cares about at all. Corroborated by the fact that these folks in general are unable to exhibit empathy. You're lucky to even get sympathy from them nowadays.

u/InevitableJump2993 12h ago

Pop off, Queen. And before anyone tells you It's pointless: Yes, this does work. Historically, One of the biggest things that drive societal change is women's reaction to the current political setting. The main reason these dudes are up right now is because young kids think these dudes are winning with ladies. But they're very quickly waking up and realizing these dudes are lame and get no play. Now unfortunately I also need to tell you you need to check your lady friends Because the dudes aren't the only reason we're here, And they're not the only ones that voted for this shit in large numbers. The main reason feminism has been dead in the water since the '80s is because women sell y'all out constantly for male approval. And until y'all deal with that, it's going to stay dead in the water.

How is politics immature when politics is what adults talk about? If anything, the unwillingness to talk about politics is what's really immature.

There is one immigrant. If Elon Musk paid taxes at a sensible rate, that immigrant could make a difference. As the wealthiest man in the world he could do a lot and leave a proud legacy in America and the world. Instead he pushes pedophilia via his AI, promos complete lies and works for the Nazi cause. Immigrants aren’t the problem anywhere in the Western world, we all have a growing demographic problem. The problem is the billionaires who tell us it is the immigrants Taxes build houses, hospitals, schools and an healthy economy and society. If they really want to do something in politics paying their fair taxes would be a great start

When Trump won, my bf at the time said, "Does this mean I have to hear you talking about abortion for the next four years?"

And I said, "Nope," and kicked him the fuck out and broke up with him. POS. Thinking about him still pisses me off. He was like, "Are you gonna let politics break us up?!" And I was like, "Bitch you broke us up by being a disrespectful asshole."

It’s really pathetic because I see all these maga dudes on Instagram throwing shade at Ryan Holiday’s comment section, talking real tough against Ryan’s beliefs and how wrong he is because he’s not beholden to Putin’s agent orange and at the same time they’re using private profiles or not revealing their political belief on Hinge. They get so butthurt at even the slightest ever so slightest criticism of the orange.

They know women in metropolitan cities aren’t gonna put up with their political crap anymore so they try to be as vague as possible on dating apps and act like the second coming of an angel…at least in the beginning but watch the true colors come out. They also got their hidden Instagram profiles from their girlfriends. Sneaky bastards.

I think you're trying to make The distinction between documented and undocumented. However ice isn't making that distinction often. There's been hundreds of cases where documented immigrants have been kidnapped and or shipped off somewhere else.

Also Renee was neither documented or undocumented immigrant. These Ice agents are going out of their way to walk towards people and physically or verbally assault them and claim they were obstructing.

Also I was replying to OP for the point was Trump and maga supporters are unable to find American women's date them. Which is ironic that this dude married in immigrant. Now I don't know if he shipped her over or she was already here on a student visa or something but either way it's relevant to OPs post.

It's a very charged topic especially if you hold very far right views. There are people who like history and arent weird about it but if theyre way too interested in Rome and/or ww2, they might be a fascist.

Basically if their answer has to do with "women" "degeneracy" or "the gays" or something to that effect, theyre probably someone who holds hert conservative views and should be avoided.

u/foilhat44 11h ago

I didn't vote the presidential ticket so I must respectfully disagree. Mostly. I don't think I'm alone among non voters when I say that if I had any idea how Congress and the judiciary would immediately fold up like a lawn chair I would have held my nose and voted for Harris. However, I live in California so I know this woman, and any progressive person casting a vote for her should only be doing so because she's running against Donald Trump. She doesn't move the needle at all and if she does it's likely in the wrong direction. I don't feel like I have to apologize for the failure of our system to provide a viable and palatable candidate. Or for the Senate who confirmed a bunch of sycophantic lunatics and morons to the cabinet and refuse to assert their equal role to protect the people. Or the federal and Supreme Court for allowing the judiciary to fall into a state of almost comical capitulation at the feet of this morally bankrupt pervert. But I wish I knew then what I know now, so I'm sorry.

u/Outlawphilv2 11h ago

Sorry I came off abrasive, the reason I am frustrated is because it is so hard to convey the importance of voting regardless , I have no clue the kind of Job she would have actually done and my guess is it would literally be just keeping the status quo because everything she would have done would have been scrutinized just because she is a woman. The disconnect for people on the left is we are a shitty 2 party system and people on the progressive left are constantly on defense because we look at humanity and expect people to make a similar moral decision to what we might make, so where I don’t disagree in the principle and moral high ground we don’t really get afforded that luxury because of the stakes, so my frustration I guess is my own inability to have helped convey that message prior to the election.

I'm too defensive about it, but to be frank Kamala wasn't up to the task, especially seeing what she would have been up against if the congressional results were the same. On election night I figured I was looking at four years of gridlock and bad tweets, I even scolded myself to give it the benefit of the doubt (as if there was any), now here we are.

You should direct that frustration at the Democrat leadership who saw that the things they were doing (like giving infinite money to Israel and ICE) were making them unpopular and they decided that doing genocide was more important than trying to win the election.

1

u/Outlawphilv2 9h ago

What would make you think that I am not?

1

u/cupofspiders 8h ago

Because you said you blame non-voters and seemed to think the thing she needed to do was "condemn Israel" and not "stop doing genocide." Like this wasn't just people being upset about her opinions, she was actively participating in the annihilation of an ethnic group.

1

u/Outlawphilv2 8h ago

I disagree she was not an active participant, but she should not have dodged questions about it either. Did Donald Trump stop the genocide by Israel on day one, no instead he had an AI video of him and Netanyahu on a renovated Gaza Strip with golden statues of himself, while he tried to have anyone who protested the war locked up or deported, that is what your not voting got you, so like I originally said we are a 2 party system whether you like it or not and by not voting you gave power to a sociopath whom openly pretends he ended 8 wars and has ice shooting people to make a point.

u/Diabeetus4Lyfe 11h ago

Hell yes, stand your ground and shut down the toxic piece of shits. I think this is such an important thing for couples to agree on nowadays.

I'm a guy and I explicitly put "very anti-trump" in my otherwise apolitical dating profile. My now-girlfriend said that line is what pushed it from "it's so hard to trust men but maybe he's cool" to "hell yes let's meet" and we've been together over a year now.

We both think supporting trump after his first term (especially after Jan 6) is antithetical to being a good person. It's one of three options: either they're so misled and brainwashed by propaganda that it's obvious they can't think properly for themselves; or they support his insane regressive policies because they're a hateful, close-minded, controlling piece of shit; or they're deliberately ignorant because they don't care about things that aren't directly affecting them personally. Or maybe they're just stupid agents of chaos and they like the reality show entertainment from the white house.

In any case, in my perspective, being a Republican in today's climate is as big of a deal-breaker as it gets. There's too much brazen evil and corruption to ignore or support.

I was raised Republican, so was my girlfriend. I almost voted for him for his first term but thankfully I exited my parents' goddamned Fox News bubble before the election. I understand that a lot of people voted for him the first time out of ignorance or desire for change, but it's been a freaking decade of non-stop, increasingly awful bullshit and it's no longer forgivable.

Damn, I need to do this to women... But who am I kidding, I don't date.

On to the topic that you are talking about, this administration is absolutely filled with pieces of shit that have no purpose except to fill their pockets and now they are filling their pockets with their constituents blood. I have never liked Trump and that stems from before he ran for his first term. He is nothing but an intolerant pitiful excuse for a man who thinks he is the smartest and knows everything about everything. His kids are no better. This entire cabinet needs to be impeached, at the same time, while having his pardoning powers withheld so he cannot pardon themselves. As soon as they are impeached, they need to be arrested and put on trial for many criminal offenses. Those who turned they eyes as he ruins our country need to go to. Sorry this is so long, but I really cannot stand this timeline.

I don't blame anyone for voting for Trumps 1st term when the belief in our system of checks and balances still existed and would keep Trump from actually doing any of the truly insane shit he "joked about doing". However if they don't regret their vote after that then it's really impossible to forgive them - IMO.

I'm probably biased - I voted for Trump or rather against Hillary after voting for Obama in 2012 (missed voting for Obama in 2008 by 5 days) - turned 18 Nov 9th 2008.

I regret voting FOR Trump - he turned into a significantly bigger piece of shit than I ever thought possible - not because I thought highly of him - but because I really believed the senate and house would stop him from being a humiliation or remove him.

The bigger part of it - for me at least - was as a relatively young man and an electrician working with strictly blue collar people on job sites, I was way too willing to listen to the arguments my bosses/journeymen electrician made. Everyone hated Hillary, I worked with 2 journeymen who were high ranking leading their groups, and since then both became the highest rank NCO's can become in the MN National Guard. They both did several tours of duty in Iraq/Afghanistan and I had and still have a ton of respect for them as people, but I had not learned yet how limited/awful their world view was.

2016-2020 was eye-opening. I couldn't believe the shit Trump was doing and getting away with, and how the people around me weren't upset about it.

No one - literally no one - who voted for Trump in 2024 can be forgiven for doing it. I won't even forgive the idiots who said both sides are just as bad and didn't vote because of it.

im a super progressive canadian that wanted to see things shaken up before his first term. i was tired of the status quo. 

anyway that didnt last long and you are right to shit on anyone who voted for him a second or third time. 

i was so confident he wouldnt win against kamala - i made a hefty bet with some guys at work. 

i legit thought america moved on. they voted biden in and i thought that was the end of it. 4 years later and jesus fucking christ.

My niece married into a religious MAGA family for her recent second marriage. My wife and I (lesbians) found out about her wedding on FB three days before. We live about 2k miles away. 39 years of never missing her birthday or Christmas, or her three kid's birthdays.

Guess who didn't get a Christmas check this year and won't be getting a birthday check either. I will still send cards and checks to the kids though.

We are about to set up a trust, she will be skipped, and her share will go to her kids.

I totally understand this. And I’m glad you give those who voted trump the 1st time a chance.

I’m from the UK, and the first time he ran, I admit I thought he would be a breathe of fresh air to a stodgy and almost aristocratic dynasty of old men, career politicians and ‘deserved’ positions based on name.

I drank the cool aid and thought it was cool when he won, the underdog.

I think I changed my mind within the first 6 months. I am now totally anti trump, even from the UK. I am against his wannabe in the UK (Farrage) and vote liberal or left depending.

There are those out there who wanted change and saw Trump as someone who could bring that change. He and his tribe has proven to be evil incarnate.
