I don't think I could date someone completely opposite politically even though they wouldn't need to agree with me on everything (of course).
Can politics be a deal breaker or turn off for you? if your potential date disagrees with you completely on a topic, is an activist, a member of the opposing party, etc?
I HATE politics. But regarding someone else, I try to be open-minded about them. Unless they share views like these.
ON THE LEFT:
"Believe all women."/#MeToo.
"Transwomen are real women."
Advocating for "Hate Speech laws."
Preferred pronouns.
Psycho made-up gender/sexual identities, like "non-binary" and "genderfluid."
Communism.
Third or Fourth Wave Feminism (misandry.)
Unironically uses the term "Toxic Masculinity."
Is queer/non-heterosexual.
Is polyamorous/believes in "open relationships."
White genocide, or any other race.
ON THE RIGHT:
"Ban all abortion."/Force "pro-life" on everyone.
Any racist or white supremacy rhetoric.
I'm willing to date a woman who is "moderately liberal" or "moderately conservative." But all of these listed here are radical/extreme viewpoints.
Extremists views left or right side are deal breakers. You can have a tactful conversation of opposing views.
Unfortunately, it would be a deal breaker. I could never date someone that watches MSM and doesn't do their own research. Group think is not attractive. Lefties and RINOs are detrimental to the United States of America. I also could not date a man that is so far right that they wouldn't let me be me and expect a doormat who's only worth is popping out babies.
Anyone else miss the 90s when no one gave a shit about other people's opinions and still liked them?
Cheers
I absolutely could not date someone with differing views. I can understand not agreeing on everything or having slightly different views on things with your partner, but there are things that are a hard no for me.
When it comes to my rights to my body and my sexuality as well as my right to love and marry whoever I chose, that is not negotiable.

Abortion would be one. I could disagree on some things. But I’m the same way. Has to be equally yoked
What a fascinating question. It's not a deal breaker. My wife has a lot of differing views than I do. Most of our differences, though, tend to be on how we view public policy and how it's implemented. We're almost always in agreement in the direction we want things to go.
In a hypothetical scenario, I think extreme activism might be a turn off and maybe a deal breaker for me. Like if the activism prevented a relationship or something like that. What would also be a deal breaker is if the person I was dating wouldn't accept my views as my views and was always trying to change me. That would get old.
I couldn't date someone who didn't share my political views, and while they're constantly moulding and changing, I sort of know my values set, and I'm rather laidback and Leftie, but not careless leftie or reckless Leftie. I guess it's hard for me to pinpoint, but let's just say the qualities I could pick up on fairly quickly if me and a date would get along, or if she/they ever showed their true colours after a while, and didn't match politically or values wise, then I know it ain't gonna work out. 😋😋
None of the girls I would date would be a Liberal/ Leftist. Leftist women are not moral, submissive women- that's what I want. Liberal women do not come from good families, with strong father figures. Liberal women act inflammatory, provocatively, etc. to where the chances of a date going well would depend entirely on how much I want to sleep with them that night (nothing after that).
So, as politics and personality correlate I wouldn't date someone distinct from me politically. However, most women are going to have more moderate political views than me, which is good. If it were up to me I'd have started the 4th Reich by now.
u doesn't matter which side...
and kind of extremist and far-this or that is just a big NOPE for me
moderates... I don't usually have any issue with
personally, I don't have any political leaning myself, lol and then a couple of people have had an issue with that, well... according to them I must have something that I hate... which was what politics is about nowadays who or what do you hate rather than stand for
If who someone fundamentally leads them to oppose everything I believe in or stand for, I don't see the value in spending the rest of my life arguing with them no matter how attractive, good in bed, or otherwise great their personality is outside of their fundamental belief system and operating system.
I can be tolerant of someone's views as long as they aren't extreme to one side. However I would be lying if I said I wasn't ready to turn down any leftist or progressive the second they reared their fucking heads.
Yeah, I want absolutely nothing to do with anyone who supports ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter and cares more about political correctness than facts. We can disagree on some issues, but she has to be open to discussion, but I refuse to date someone who kisses minority and LGBT asses.
No parties are dealbreakers because that is an insane and moronic practice we have in America. Actual views and values? I suppose thinking it's ok to mutilate or have sex with children would be the main dealbreakers. Anything racist, sexist, etc.
Anyone left of classical liberals. It’s not about party or politics. It’s about beliefs. I can’t be with someone who has polar opposite morals or values. One of my friends literally just got a divorce over this.
If your a SJW liberal hippy communist it's a deal breaker, any ties to a crazy leftist mindset is a deal breaker but that doesn't mean I won't smash lol
Unless she's a Nazi/Racist or a Stalinist/Maoist, her views are probably not a deal breaker for me, but mine might be for her. I want the smallest government necessary to protect the people.
Anything western is a blacklist in my view.
I’m Anti-American in every way.
This country’s existence caused a lot of chaos from its first day.
No offense to you.
Believing MAGA propaganda while claiming that the mainstream media is lying about everything would be a total deal breaker. I can't even talk to someone like that.
Don't advocate for removing my rights and freedoms, and we will get along fine.
Hard pass on extremists. I’m fine with people showing their points, but they need to listen too.
If she was a closed minded liberal I would not even bother
I am a republican and I would only date guys with the same views
Politics can definitely be a deal breaker.
No specific political party.. But if she is a feminist it's hard pass for me.
