Depends on how big of a deal it is in their life. Are they showing up to dates wearing a mask with a blm sign in their yard and think trump is Hitler? Do they think the election was stolen and want to attend the rnc convention? That would annoy me like anything else like a flat chest or bad teeth. If they are just a normal opposite party voter it would not bother me in the least . So how big of a part of their life is it and will you have to hear about it?Without tipping my hand, I have skin in this game. Actually, I know where I stand.

Condolences..I was a Reagan Republican. My wife marched and caried signs for Mondale/Ferraro. We met later, in 1991. She's still further left than I am, but we're pretty close today on most things.
I think it's harder for younger people today to accept opposing viewpoints. My oldest daughter is 27 and she's said she'd never consider socializing with, let alone dating, a Republican.
I'm an independent. Have voted both parties. I could marry a Republican or Democrat.I was a Reagan Republican. My wife marched and caried signs for Mondale/Ferraro. We met later, in 1991. She's still further left than I am, but we're pretty close today on most things.

I could not marry a MAGA Trump person. Funny thing is asked my wife and she felt the same way. If I was a Trump guy it would be a deal breaker.
I think you are spot on. That is too bad.I sense that for younger people there is no distinction between Republican and MAGA. They are one in the same for an entire generation.
I could and have dated conservatives. I could and would not date a Trumper. We’d have too many differences about things that are really important to me.Without tipping my hand, I have skin in this game. Actually, I know where I stand. I'm curious to know what all of you think.

Political affiliation doesn't matter as much as sanity. No issues with republicans or conservatives but the portion of MAGA that is a whacko popularity cult or the whacko portion of the left that believes in crystal healing or similar shit... no f**king way. Not even for a hate f**k. Never stick your d**k in crazy.Without tipping my hand, I have skin in this game. Actually, I know where I stand. I'm curious to know what all of you think.

I'm confused by this one. Is this just your hard stance on athletes mixing politics? I would think him being at the RNC would make you happy.Alexi Lalas just posted a pic of himself on stage at the rnc. Unfollow. Goodbye. F you. So people won’t follow a sports head bc of his politics. I’m sure not dating one over politics is becoming more and more common

No I’m just surprised people would unfollow him bc of politics. I don’t like hearing athletes political views but it wouldn’t cause me to not watch them play or if they put out otherwise good content unfollow themI'm confused by this one.

It also depends on intentions. I’d throw on a mask and go see Amy Schumer if I got to bone that dirty Emily ratajkowski. I’m not marrying her but I’d fake it for a bit and keep quietDid and married her.
That's how I know how you TDRers think.
This is pretty much where I stand. I'm coming up on date 5 with someone I think is pretty great. She was up front about being conservative on our first date. I think I said something about that being no big deal, but I also thought Trump was abhorrent and she agreed. She definitely isn't a fan of Biden.I could and have dated conservatives. I could and would not date a Trumper. We’d have too many differences about things that are really important to me.
I had no idea my wife was a Democrat until I met her Grandmother. I should have known the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.It also depends on intentions.

I dunno, I probably would but gonna have to ask the wife for permission first.
I heard a good one the other day.I had no idea my wife was a Democrat until I met her Grandmother. I should have known the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
But yeah, I would be a McGovernite for a chance to bang Emily.

I get the dating part, but your daughter's point about socializing seems to be pervasive. My oldest is 29 and some of the stuff I hear him talk about when it comes to differing viewpoints saddens me. The idea that you'd close yourself off entirely to someone over their political views isn't a good recipe for a strong society. Personally, I think it would be boring AF to live in a political echo chamber, now it seems to be moving from boring toward scary.My oldest daughter is 27 and she's said she'd never consider socializing with, let alone dating, a Republican.
Agree. All my friends voted for Trump and a couple are hardcore supporters. A couple others held their nose and voted for him.I get the dating part, but your daughter's point about socializing seems to be pervasive.

Now mix that with young ladies becoming more liberal while young males are going the opposite way and you have a recipe for upheaval.I get the dating part, but your daughter's point about socializing seems to be pervasive.

If I limited myself to Biden supporters where I live I'd pretty much be alone all the time. I'm sure a few folks in town voted for him, but they'd never admit it.

She sounds awesome. I admittedly like women who are Trump supporters. They ain’t scared and it’s refreshing compared to leftist women.My wife is to the right of me. She’s a Trump supporter whereas I’m more of a he’s the lesser of two evils guy.
She is STRIDENTLY pro life. That’s probably the one thing she feels strongest about.
All of a sudden 7 of them become chicks. That would be difficult. Joking aside, it is crazy soccer players tend to lean left.Our crew of teammates that chat daily from college. Easily 23 Dems to 3 Republicans. I couldn’t imagine losing those guys

It was a very different world then. When I was in college I didn’t know or care about anyone’s politics. Now, it’s a very different story.Speaking as a past Social Chairman for a college fraternity some 60 years ago some of my brothers were lucky to have a date much less being picky about their politics.
When inviting a sorority to one of out popular Friday afternnon Beer Suppers I didn't inquire as to the sorority's political leanings. Definitely unimportant then as it should be now.

dumbI heard a good one the other day.
Kid - "Hey dad, did you know that in some countries that men don't know who their wife is until they get married"?
Dad - "Son, it's like that in every country".

Yeah - I'm trying to warm up to the idea that politics can be sidestepped or not too much to worry about. Moreso after the election.Honestly the more I think about it the more I think politics aren’t much to worry about. My ex stoker is back to texting me multiple times a day. Day and night. My ex wife is trying very hard to get me to go out with her (while actively dating at least three guys). I’m the most content and comfortable I’ve been in many years. Maybe my picker is shitty or I just attract crazy but I really have zero interest in dating. Crazy seems more prevalent than political bent concerns
