I used to be open to dating Republican women, Then I actually dated one. Now I’m no longer open to dating Republican women.
in my head they’re like, very naive no?
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.
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.
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.
You most likely have a few friends who voted Republican and you just don’t know it.
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.
I help support conservatives? Lmao, if you knew anything about me you’d know how ridiculous that statement was mate.
“You don’t actively hate a majority of the people in this country? You must be crazy!” People can be friends while disagreeing on politics bro
Lincoln weeps
Ehhhhhhh, Lincoln was totally willing to keep slavery to end the civil war. The Confederates fucked up by refusing to negotiate. So he freed the southern slaves and ordered the South burned to the ground instead, ending the war by destroy their economy. He wasn’t the abolitionist hero American history portrays him as.
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.
Don’t mistake me for defending the Confederacy. I can’t disagree that they deserved what they got. War is hell and they started it. My real point is that if they had been more subtle Lincoln would absolutely have let them keep slavery. A lesson the modern South seems to understand well if the last few decades of the Republican party are any example.
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.
i only date propublicans.
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 😁
