Would you date someone with opposing political views?

[Dsg1193]

In this case, I’m a democrat. I didn’t have an issue with republicans until Trump came into office. Now, anyone that supports trump, I’m wary of.

Yes

No

[hellionthesagereborn]

I have no problems with a difference of opinion, what I do have issue with is some one saying that they are morally superior to me in every way because of their beliefs and that I am inherently racist because I don't think like they do (which is what the left does to everyone). I will not date some one who refuses to listen, who refuses to see me as a person and who believes they are better then me not because of their actions but because of their beliefs, I despise elitism and I despise authoritarianism and I despise hateful cultish people.

However if they are a moderate I have no issue with that, if they are republican (I am not) I have no issue with that, if they are willing to discuss and talk things out even if they end up not agreeing with me but realize that I am not evil or stupid because I happen to think differently then them, I have no problem.

As for you hating trump, you hate him because you have been told to hate him, you've done no research, not studying, you don't ask why some one would support him (or if you do you don't listen to the answerse) and that is why you feel the way you do. That is the problem, not the difference of opinion.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes, I'm a Moderate but I vote both ways, I find it crazy not to love someone cause of our difference in politics, maybe she votes straight Democrat well that is cool, maybe I vote for both sides of the party line which I do but I am all cool with it, So far I never ran into issues but haven't dated in 17 years and I always watch who I date cause I wouldn't want anyone who was into Trump, He is radical, dangerous and there is a lawyer in New York whose going after him for crimes he committed, Now I read this on my cell phone news feed don't know how much is true?

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Thanks For Most Helpful Guy :)

I'm the same way. I used to have a lot more Republican friends than I do now, and had zero issues having lively debates over dinners and everyone leaving still friends, but 100% this man's treatment of women, minorities, the elderly, veterans, LGBTQI+, immigrants---it's not an example of a decent human being that should represent this country. My SIL told me she had to literally turn off the tv because my nephew was watching Trump swear at people. Our president! For me, at this point in time, it would basically be impossible to be with someone who supports Trump. My parents taught me a lot growing up about having good character and moral fiber and being a person of your word, and he nor his party currently represent that or are even trying to represent that. I'm sure some Republicans are just voting the party line and they feel the same way about Trump as I do, but it sucks that someone would think it's okay to overlook 100 things, for a few, even if they saw it hurting those around them.

[Prettygurl12]

Very much depends how extreme they are in their views. My husband and I voted differently in 2016. Clearly we survived.

It should be noted, however, that we voted the same this time around.

[Jean-Marie_Céline]

Yes, also because I don't care about politics - just a waste of time.

[Kaneki05]

Nope i can only date someone left minded. why anyone would date someone with different morals i will never know. Imagine sleeping next to someone who thought abortion was murder, thinking your a murderer supporter because you support pro choice.
And visa versa why would a person who thinks you support murder want to be with you.
So longs if there left winged on views which would be sharing same morals as me, whether it's anarchy, communism, democrat. Or a person who don't care about politics but still has same morals that are left-minded.

[Matthijslolz]

I would be considered far-right while also being pro abortion.

Why would you let your political views stand above the real love?

[Kaneki05]

Because my morals stand stronger than anyone else. Just like how many people wouldn't date a rapist because that's ageist there morals.
I do the same with my other morals not hard to understand really. would have to be an idiot to date someone who has opposite morals to you

[Matthijslolz]

Maybe you shouldn't take it so seriously then... Rape is a crime, a different political opinion is not. You're comparing Apples with pears here.

[Kaneki05]

But i take my morals seriously. Unlike pathetic people who simp up to people's beliefs.
It is a crime to me anyone who wants to stop pro choice.
It is a crime to me anyone who thinks trump who is a felon is great.
It is a crime to me anyone who thinks women should be Conservative with the way they dress rather than they can wear what they want.

[Matthijslolz]

Girls don't like guys who take everything over-the-top seriously. But whatever floats your boat I guess

[Kaneki05]

do i give a shit? Ps had many gfs so clearly they do. And it's actually the otherway around, you earn a lot more respect when you stand for your morals rather than simping.

[Matthijslolz]

I don't think girls really care about a political opinion.

[Kaneki05]

@Matthijslolz girls don't care about politic opinions? umm yes they do they have morals. Guessing you were dropped on your head when it came to women thoughts on pro choice and pro life. It's umm quite a big deal asshat.

[Kaneki05]

also also many many women hate trump but nahh sure they don't care lmao.

[Matthijslolz]

I'm not saying girls don't care at all. I'm just saying that girls don't care as much about their boyfriends opinion unless they are extremist left.

You getting mad over this really shows your weakness, and how pathetic you really are when it comes to accepting other people's opinions.

[Kaneki05]

I get mad when some idiot legit just said I don't think girls really care about a political opinion. Because yes i do get mad at dumb shit things people say surprisingly.
and yes again they do smh. There is a reason why biden won because way more women voted for him. They have morals and really care if you tell them they cannot wear this or that, or that they cannot get an abortion. grow up out of your fantasy view that women don't care that much.

[Kaneki05]

and this ain't even about what women want. It's about myself, i have strong morals that i stand for if you don't like it fuck off.

[Matthijslolz]

Cry more baby tears

[Kaneki05]

Rather be the so called "Cry baby" than the idiot who don't stand for his morals and thinks "I don't think girls really care about a political opinion". smh

[ShortCircuit]

Opposing? No. But they don't have to be entirely the same as my own. For instance, my partner wouldn't necessarily have to be a libertarian like myself (although it would be ideal if she was). I could date most types of right-wingers, and we'd disagree on a few policies here and there, but our views and value systems wouldn't be diametrically opposed. I couldn't date anyone left of center though.

[Anonymous]

Totally opposing, no. But if we disagreed a little about a few things and weren't poles apart in our positions then sure.
Sex is different though. If it were JUST sex then I'd want to fuck a pro-Israel Zionist. I'm very much pro-Palestine and generally liberal/left and wouldn't even TOUCH any kind of hard right winger but I don't know there's just SOMETHING about a hot Zionist in particular that makes me curious. I think it's because of that mythic Chosen People thing they've got going on. Who knows.

[0112358]

Truly opposing, I wouldn’t.

there are (to use us example) both democrats and republicans id date. “Conservatives” or “liberals” are not polar opposites to me.

strongman worshiping authoritarian nativists are the real “opposing view” to mine and I wouldn’t date someone with those views.

[Anonymous]

I personally feel unsafe with Trump supporters because of their cult-like mentality and tendency to violence. Yes, Biden supporters can get aggressive, but Trump supporters are mostly right winged gun toters that shoot anyone with an opposing opinion. That being said, I would not be with someone with opposing political views because of the divide it would cause in a family with that person.

[jasco]

I enjoy a good argument, so i wouldn't mind dating a democrat. I love to figure out why they are against trump, and why they are with Biden. I enjoy learning about anything that may interest me or just because. However i will never date anyone who used arguments that have no way of being proved or experiencing. Ex you weren't around when such and such was happening. That's not a argument nor is it possible for me to learn anything from that statement.

[worldscolide]

Nah id not have any issues with it.. I feel sad for anyone that does. I have literally seen women divorce their husbands over it.. how stupid can these women be. Incidentally its mostly women who won't have anything to do with people with opposing political views. not men

[lucas262]

I voted for trump i lean towards the middle.

in my opinion any decent person calling themselves a democrat should leave and join the 3rd party in the middle because the modern democratic party may as well be called the American socialist party.

[Skankhunt]

Yes, I would. I don't care about political views. In fact, I think it can be interesting to know why someone thinks differently than I do, why they believe something should be done differently. Maybe you will change your opinion about something if you hear others opinions.

[Billie_]

I’ve put no, but it’s actually a maybe. In the UK, I’m whats known as a liberal democrat, which is the closest party we have to the centre. I would never date someone too far left or too far right, as both sides are as ignorant as each other.

[beefy40]

I don't care really too much about political views. But I would 100 percent stay away from people who call themselves progressive democrats. Most of these people seem to be racist man-haters, that hate white males and blame all the world's problems on us.

[beefy40]

[shangri-Ia]

progressive democrat seems to be the world's biggest trending oxymoron, just gaining more traction from idiots, apathetic people, and just scumbags in general

[shangri-Ia]

love how these people excel at waving their "flags of democracy and freedom" while systematically destroying all opposition

[shangri-Ia]

no of course not. i've never had a single sensible conversation with any democrat. a bunch of low iq hypocrites if you ask me, determined to take this country on a trainwreck of entitlement and hypocrisy

[mélancolie]

yea don't give a shit tbh, unless you're some sort of natsoc or stuff like that or really always talk about politics and try to shove your views down my throat

[Anonymous]

If its family I don't care. Say if I was with a girl way before Trump became president and I really liked her I would still stick around if she voted for him I will just slap her a few times In bed and have her learn a few things about a Narcissist, Racist and Stereotyping so she can be more aware how evil that Trump dude is🤣. If i was on the dating scene and met a chick that supported Trump then no.

[slatyb]

It’s fine to disagree on policy. I can’t handle someone who denies accepted facts in favor of bizarre Trump/Q-Anon fantasy.

[Hermes-Paris]

A decade ago I would not have much of a problem with it but these days... Nah. Actually anyone who is very political is a no for me.

[sweetcocoa_]

I already am lmao I don't take it that seriously so I don't mind that we have different views on some things. Our core values are the same.

[GothRose2]

No, I dislike racists, fascists, homophobes, Neonazis and conformists

[Avicenna]

Yeah, as long as she isn’t extreme about them and doesn’t end friendships or relationships over political differences.
