I have been seeing a lot of videos with young women starting off a conversation on the first date by asking who he voted for… Yes, girls. That’s how you do it. ❤️

At this point, yes. I could not even.
Lysistrata. (The benefits of a classical education that I didn't really use professionally.)
Ask before you even go on the date. Save yourself some time.
Oh didn’t you hear? Bill says that is too woke to ask that of a man because, she is relegating herself to a miserable life as a single woman. (it’s fine if you’re a lifelong bachelor) She should focus on being protected by a man more than she should want a partner whose views align with hers
Not a single word of this makes any sense. Who wrote it? Trump?
And how could you rely on a man to protect you if he votes for the party that oppresses women?
See, now you’re getting too far into the weeds. Focus more on the fact that a woman’s life is meaningless without a strong man and less on her happiness
And I know people that stopped going to a trivia night because MAGAs had been invited to join their group. 👏 Nope. Can't do it! Solid no for me. It's that important.
Exactly! What is it they say now?... "If you allow Nazis into your bar, it is now a Nazi bar." Same goes for other clubs and gatherings.
My first question is "Did you vote?" My second question is "Who did you vote for?" Either question can disqualify them
Might as well weed them out early
I’m glad I’m married. I would have to do the same as these ladies. There no way I could date a Trumper.
Any man who voted red has either no regard for women as human beings, OR he's too stupid to realize what his vote really stands for. Either way, RUN! We have to stop trying to teach men how to be better human beings, when they don't even think of us as fully human. #MakeThemLonelier
I got to vote red in Canada (liberal) and blue in the US (Kamala)
Refusing to date them is a good way to teach them.
I hope they figure out why. They think it's because they don't have muscles or a big enough paycheck. But most women just want a true partner who regards them as an equal.
You're right. They'll blame women for all the wrong reasons. That is the part you shouldn't have to teach. Cut 'em off long enough, though, and they may have to do some real introspection. Hopefully, they will have plenty of alone time for that
If they don't strip us of all our rights in the meantime. I think they will try. They see women having rights to their own life & choices AS the problem.
We control who gets to breed (barring violent assault that is far too prevalent) and we NEED to have much much higher standards for letting anyone get their DNA anywhere near us.
It has to get to the point where men truly realize the VALUE of the group they've oppressed for centuries. They aren't even close to that.
This tiktok is one of the best commentaries on this I've ever seen:
💯💯💯
And at this point, even risking a planned child with a man who truly loves you can be a death sentence if something goes wrong with the pregnancy.
Or, even if you don't die, the complications can lead to lifelong problems for the woman and illness for the child. Both are the case with me. It is a crapshoot in the BEST of circumstances.
Bearing in mind the opposite is true. A male set of chromosomes is missing a bit! Literally XX Vs XY. Males are *deficient* females !!
Remember there were Mother’s involved in their upbringing. Women must teach their boys.
Absolutely! Women tend to coddle their sons. And we have to stop doing that. But dads need to step up too. I try not to always place blame on the mom. Everyone blames mom for what mom does AND what dad does or doesn't do.
A very wise tactic. It speaks volumes & will save you a lot of time. You can quickly say "Bye-bye. Next candidate."
Absolutely. Because he won’t change. And don’t accept that “I don’t care about politics.” That’s a dead giveaway
"I don't care about politics" is the new "I'm alright Jack"
I would ask before the first date so my time isn’t wasted and I’m safe at home, away from some MAGA psycho.
I wouldn't even ask - I'd watch and wait.
They will always reveal themselves eventually.
Quite. Everybody loves to talk about themselves. In fact there are now folk who complain they *don't get asked enough* questions on a date.
But watch for tells that he's lying because MAGAs and the truth have a complicated relationship.
If there is any hesitation to answer that question, we know the answer.
Right. They lie, but I don't know if any of them are capable of enthusiastically saying they voted for Harris.
Hah not without turning a bit green about the gills and ordering another drink, probably not. Bigots gotta bigot.
Or even not voting should be qualifying a no thanks‼️
Most Republicans are not ashamed of it and want to find a partner who shares their values. So expressing those values early on saves everyone a lot of time.
Just ask them what they like most about Kamala
Okay, but when their head explodes, I'm not cleaning it up. 😂
My wife says, "I voted for Harris" is hot sexy dirty talk.
This ☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽☝🏽
I did and 7 yrs later so happy we agree on our hatred of the felon.
Hey I'm older and I do this. Also ask if they could pass a criminal record check, and what their blood pressure is (don't want to be anyone's nurse). I'm halfway kidding here.
My second husband's BP is thankfully under control so he's a winner and an independent ‼️
Wonderful!
And voted for Harris as I did‼️
Same!
Need financial information as well. Those older men are dating for several reasons, and none of them are good.
When my husband and I were dating and decided to be serious/exclusive, we had a date to read each other's credit reports. Wish I had done that with Husband v1.0.
That is a great idea..!
Yup, a nurse or a purse is high on their agenda.
beware the older guy who wants a bite off your #retirement or #home
A nurse WITH a purse is a true treasure...
A purse or a nurse.......
Yo! Like I got my house on my own, You👏🏿can't 👏🏿 stay 👏🏿 here!
That's perfect
Without question. And be aware -- they will lie. So watch for signs...
Dating must be so much easier now with that one simple question.
I don't know how couples do it, being at opposite political signs.
When they were young, my mom voted Humphrey while my dad voted Nixon. That was a very different time. The last republican my dad voted for was Jerry Ford.
My BFF has been married for nearly 30 years to a guy who leans Republican. She has always kinda rolled her eyes & let him be dumb, but now their daughter is 21 & puts him on blast about EVERYTHING. She's right & I love how she screams at him!
Yep, have a married acquaintance whose husband voted maga, and now she is begging her teen son to protect her from people like her husband. She expects no rights, no voice in the future her spouse wants.
That will be one messed up kid, I predict. My walking buddy/neighbor's wife is a MAGAt (truly into QAnon stuff). I told him about the May Day protest I went to, and he said, "yeah, I wish I could too but wouldn't be well received ..." I offered to keep a sign for him and he could make an excuse ...
Yeah, it's astounding to me that these couples stay together. Aside from financial reasons, all I can think is they must be masters at household peace agreements, secrecy, or repression.
Or get a sick pleasure from baiting and torturing each other, as was the case of my parents. Truly vile to be around. Poison.
"... we're staying married for the kids' sake ..." was the mantra in the day of my parents' generation.
My parents hated each other but people didn't divorce back then. I remember nights when my sister and I crouched, crying, behind our bedroom door listening to them fighting, usually when they drank too much. Yeah, "for the kids' sake."
Bingo. In those days, they did somersaults to avoid divorce.
Oh yes and didn't that teach the kids a great lesson and make for a happy and harmonious home? On the other side a civil split where all have a home and shared resources without conflict is a far kinder outcome for all.
Pretty f*cked up, no? My cousin pointed a shotgun at her dad, to defend herself one time (all of our parents were alcoholics and f*cked up). Flash forward to where we are heading today - no fault divorce ... www.theguardian.com/us-news/arti...
I can’t even be friends with them. I couldn’t in a million years live with one.
Standing in a long Costco line yesterday, after enter store, husband asks me, "did you see the woman's keychain?" I said no. He said it had "fRump" on it. She tried making small talk with me before we entered, and I can tell you had I seen it before, I would not have even acknowledged her. I can't!
... I showed this to my husband, and he said, "yeah it looked like the red lettering below!!" 😝
Remind her of Costcos DEI initiative lol! Kick her but back to target or Walmart!
Nooo! Keep the money flowing to the better companies. Let her support “the other side”.
It’s the repression.
I don't know any couples who are still together on the opposite side of the political spectrum.
I remember in the old days, there were polite, sometines lighthearted disagreements between people who were voting for or had voted for different candidates. The stakes are so high now, I don't see that as possible. Trump is so stupid, insane and evil. I don't want to be around any Republicans.
People actually had intellect then, who you could converse with. Now there's so much bat sh*t QAnon conspiracy theories; I just shake my head. These people have either been so badly brainwashed and/or are so resolved in their toddler-like refusal to listen. You cannot reason with them.
There is NO way anymore. It’s not remotely like when it could be possible even 10 years ago. They’ve shown their true colors, there is no candy coating their real convictions/morals.
I chatted with a woman at work who has been in a marriage for more than 20 years and been fine. But recently his uglier Parts have surfaced and strengthened thanks to the rise of trump and if this isn't a phase and if he doesn't calm down there's a good chance their marriage is over
The advantage of being an expat in Germany, is that no AfD voter (Vance's friends) would ever date me 😂 I'm their worst nightmare: a white hetero male, with no German origins, supporting Ukraine, defending human rights and with enough culture to counter their stupid propaganda 🤣
They are against baseline human decency.
If they say they don’t like to discuss politics… run
If he says “I don’t really follow politics,” just go ahead and ask for the check. You’re dating a red flag in khakis.
That got oddly specific at the end.
Yup. "I'm not political" = "if you knew my beliefs, you wouldn't want to be with me, so I'll hide them until it's more difficult for you to leave".
That would be the pre-first date question for me these days.
Find out before the date and save yourself a couple hours.
First line on the online dating profile. If you voted for Trump, I will swipe right
Perfect. I’m married, but that would be my first sentence too if I ever re-entered the dating pool.
crazy it has come to this - plus they lie!
youtu.be/3H8TdFIqRKs?...
That's my first question when I meet them. No Kamala vote, no date.
"Save yourself a lot of grief, in the long run." I can almost hear my Mom saying.
In these times I think it's a absolute deal breaker. Men should do the same.
And to add my daughter is 1000% onboard....it's not even a 2nd thought. She's still young and not ready to date yet per say but she has her morals and if they, he or she, or their family support Trump or MAGA it's an automatic no.
Of course
I wouldn’t date a MAGA woman. And they wouldn’t want to date me anyway.
It'll tell you EVERYTHING you need to know!
I'd just say if his answer isn't along the lines of "which election/what year?" there may need to be some follow up questions.
Tells you every thing you need to know.
The guys will lie.
What's your favorite pod casts, what are you news sources, Name two acts (legislation) under the Biden administration you found impressive and why, how long should someone have to be on US soil before they get due process (instant), etc.
The question my maggot brother would never answer: "How many hours a week should a person have to work simply to not be homeless?"
there are telltale cultural signs tho
but…if you do catch a prospective date in overt lie, best policy “one strike & they are out.”
Baseball cap indoors bugs me. Baseball cap as poor man’s toupee also. Be proud of who you are!
Using "illegal" as a noun. Using "Democrat" as an adjective (eg "Democrat Party"). Referring to the previous President as "Joe."
Trick them!
HOW they respond can be almost as telling as a full confession.
Incessantly Ask them where workers should live in all the business prosperity and million dollar homes. Then, watch the contempt or their brain blank about why that matters.
I need to see these. That brings me joy.
Why not ask your parents too 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This needs to be the question before a date is agreed to.
Nice!
😁
I completely understand this.
Yes, WOMEN that's how you do it really
👍
First question: Did you vote? Second question: For Who? Did not vote, is the same as a vote for him.
Unless he’s legally not permitted to vote. There are legit situations like that, though rare.
Green card holders. Not that rare.
True. But where the conversation then goes should make it very obvious anyway.
Problem is, if you turn the guy down because he voted for Trump, it's a pretty big sea of fish when 55% of white women voted for Trump.
Precisely why I don’t date white women.
Then he won’t be disappointed, right? Go land your tradwife, incel.
Doesn’t sound like a problem to me
How many of the 55% do you suppose are single? From what I've seen, most of the white women who voted for Krasnov aren't in the dating pool because they're already committed to men who also voted for him.
I was more like 40%, but that's still too high. I'm sure MAGA women won't ask that question, so they can all find each other.
And your point is what, exactly?
Then he can go date one of them?
Ok? How is that a problem? Why do you assume everything here is being done to be spiteful? Not dating someone isn’t a punishment… you know that right?
“I didn’t vote” is a red flag, I’ve since found out.
So much smarter than “sleeping with the enemy!”
Exactly. If you vote against human rights, you're not getting access to my bed
I turned down a date yesterday because he was happy we have a new president. It’s better to remain silent and thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
🎯
I love that line from Mark Twain.
The sentiment is great, hopefully empowerment breeds empowerment but nearly 1 out of 2 women voted for Trump. Combined with men voting for Trump at an even higher rate…not enough to flip the script.
I’m not sure you realize how hard the GOP challenged women’s votes in court. I was fortunate the democratic party notified me every election. And I could testify in court. @dutchesscounty.bsky.social
You’re talking about white women. Black women understood the assignment plus some.
No, married white women voted for Trump. Be specific.
Wonder if they will still support when the MAGA take away their bank accounts. The administration is looking into it right now.
I ask that before the date happens.
I love it. You can tell a type of person in how and when they use The word “woke”. Never = good person
Just ask them what it means and sneak out while they're trying to make up answer that isn't "I don't like being told not to be a bigot".
My mom snuck out of a date with a MAGA. She was in her late 70s. : )
Before the first date
It's very important for ladies to know if they are with a cultist or not. Just safer.
Likewise for guys to know if the date/potential partner is a cultist or not. It should cut both ways. Getting the question sorted out first is an excellent way to go.
That's a good point - though I think it manifests in women more as the "crunchy to alt right pipeline". Ask her if she's vaccinated.
Oh lordeee...another conspiracy theorist 😂🤭🤭🤭
Ask: *What* do you vote for?
True. But....men have just started lying.
Young men still have to lie to get l@id. Some 'things' never change.
A friend split from her fiancee because she found out he voted for Trump.
Saved herself a lifetime of grief
Wow!! Good on her!
smart!
Well done her checking before the wedding.
A bullet dodged.
Seems like that would be something to ask before the first date.
and then be sure by asking subtle questions later. Republicans ARE known for lying....
My NAGA son can’t get a date in California
Yay, I pass that test! 😇
I would start exactly the same. In fact, I’d ask before there was ever a date.
Yes, always ask before you even schedule the date. Why waste your time with a MAGA bro, or MAGA Karen.
That makes perfect sense.
Let the Nazi fucks die alone, their planet-killing giant trucks can keep them warm at night. Selfish pricks.
100%!
Why waste time on a date if you don't know the answer? Ask the question BEFORE the date so you know that who you're meeting has a chance to share your values.
I have been seeing a lot of videos with young women starting off a conversation on the first date by asking who he voted for… Yes, girls. That’s how you do i --- Yes. A lot less black eyes that way.
That sounds like the perfect opening question. Why waste your time on losers.
I might be a loser. But I'm a rich one.
Money isn't everything. Compatibility is more important.
Enough said. Nope.
How did they let it get as far as a *date* without knowing?!! Should be first txt ... US trump voters are too dangerous to be meeting in person!
*Yes all Trump voters are in the US, I replaced "US Conseravatives" with "US Trump Voters" and now I regret it
If they drive a full-size American car truck or suv, you usually don't even need to ask
I would be asking in the first 10 minutes of conversation. Forget waiting for a date.
Seems like something to clear up BEFORE meeting a stranger
Tell them off the bat: if you voted for Trump in 2024, don't waste my time.
Or in 2016
Or 2020
Or ever.
I don’t get to a first date situation without asking well beforehand, I won’t even give my number to someone if they voted that way….
Those dates don’t happen in the world I know. Avoid serial killers too, but they’re harder to screen.
only way to go!
When I am meeting someone new and they want to go out, I always ask them who their favorite Supreme Court justice is. 👩⚖️
Good strategy.
Yes, please go full Chi-raq/Lysistrata on these undateable ignorant pathetic man babies. You deserve better.
I’d want to know that prior to agreeing to a first date.
Smart podcasts.apple.com/no/podcast/u...
I’d cross check it too
ABSOFUCKUINLOUTLY
Better to ask before they go on the date.
Bring a vial of HCL for the ones who admit that they voted for the fascists 🤣
Or holy water. 💙
And don’t tell them you won’t be coming to the date. Stand them up at a restaurant and block them so they can’t text you.
wish these tech options had been around when i was dating...
or how about let them take you to a fancy restaurant, let them think they're gonna get some while you order the most expensive things on the menu, and then when dinner is over, excuse yourself to the rest room, and ghost them then....
Also a viable option, just make sure it’s before the check arrives.
And if you can, sneakily ask for dessert to go and tell them he’s paying for it.
right! you don’t want to even put yourself in a situation alone with a magat, literally dangerous…
I approve that message.
First off, everyone is political. So don't fall for anyone saying they're not. Red flag #1. Red flag #2: If their beliefs can't be summarized with "Live and let live."
Maybe those types just don’t realize it. Not saying they should get the benefit of the doubt.
This is good. Even if they say I don’t like politics, live and let live is a good “political” viewpoint to start from.
I have dropped friends who voted trump, medical offices with Fox on, and even family that wear THE red hat. I don’t need that degree of hate and stupid in this short and precious life
Me too. In my birth family there were 7 kids. My mom, one sister and myself were the only ones that managed to see the Reichpublicans for who they were.
You said it.
Same. I let a good friend go over this during his first term. She didn’t care what he did as long as he made her $$$$. I tried to get her to see the plight of risking everything to leave danger to come here & give her kids a better life by reversing it to her having to do that. No empathy. Empty.
I made the mistake of hanging on to friends and family through the first episode of his shit show. I thought perhaps they were deceived somehow. I decided it wasn't worth it this time around, because they knew who he was and were ok with it. I don't have time to waste on people like that.
Good for you!! I’m a 🔵 in a very red state (Texas), so if I dropped my friends who were ignorant about Trump, I don’t think I’d have any friends left. We just no longer speak politics. Plus, now I amplify ALL of the horrible things going on in this administration on Facebook now. 😉
Ask them simple questions. Do you agree with Medicare cuts of $800B even though it will shutter rural hospitals? Do you agree with unstable changes to sales tax (tariffs) that businesses can’t plan to? Did you see that ships are 60% empty and we will have empty shelves soon?
It might seem simple. What you don't seem to recognize with your questions is that there's a vacuum of information glossed over by an insurmountable volume of misinformation. It has to be more basic than what you're suggesting.
You have to start the conversation somewhere. Give them facts and be able to cite your sources.
Make the break. It hurts for a while, but you will get over it. But it took me a while, too, so I do understand. One of these times you will just lose it and scream "What the fuck is WRONG with you?!" and you will have one less friend to worry about. That's how it happened with my brother.
I'm a blue dot as well, and let me tell you how much better my life got when I ditched my Republican friends and just made new friends. Go to the independent coffee shop, go to the independent bookstores, go to the library, and go to the gay bar. They all post community events for progressives.
I hear you and I was you, but let me just tell you you may not be clocking the exhaustion of "not talking politics". Making new friends was worth it. And Texas has a WAY higher rate of progressive voters than my state. Your people are out there, wishing they could hang out with someone like you.
Weed out the crap from the get go.
One of the first things my (now) wife and I spoke about before we started dating was whether she was a democrat and pro-choice. We both answered “yes” and here we are happily married for 16 years.
Seems like there should be a pre-screening process…
The correct answer is “The Democrat,” fellow American guys. Of course, she’ll want to see your voter registration. Be prepared.
Wouldn’t it be a significant waste of time to NOT find out asap who you’re getting to know. Ask! … before there’s any complications 👍🏼
Two minds on this. I like a world where voting choices are considered private information. But, you can ask questions and have a discussion that reveals a person's values and political orientation. And no, no MAGA man should get laid. Ever. If being MAGA had that effect, there would be real change.
It’s also how my son does it (we live in the South). No sense wasting your time.
Y'all women tolerate too much bullshit from men.
Not anymore 😄
Maybe men should give less BS
Men lie. They will put on a mask and it will fall off when they trapped them into a relationship.
You are NEVER trapped. You can always leave. You can always find another one. Self care is important.
Not if the relationship involves domestic violence. For women, leaving a relationship isn't as easy as it looks. www.respondinc.org/dv-facts-sta...
I hear you. My intent is to get them to leave ASAP.
Maybe more men should stand up to other men’s bad behavior.
Join the active resistance
Personally, I think this goes both ways. Guys should be asking the same question at dates. Plenty of maga women out there.
Absolutely. But I feel like men lie more than women to expand their options. A maga woman would only date a maga man.
Yikes. Like trying to meet a single, older GenX in the Ozarks with at least 20 years sober isn't already hard enough. I am honestly thankful to not give a crap about dating anymore.
Right now, that tells you all you need to know. Unless, of course, he is wrapped in a bear skin and holding a club and is cowardly, then there is no need to ask.
Great idea? But if they catch on they will just lie anyway. They always do to get what they want.
They're surprisingly bad liars. Right wing media has very specific unusual grammar ("the illegals", "homeless"). You can also tell because they simply don't know basic facts ("do immigrants pay into social security? How? Can they collect it?").
Their base believes them all the time. That’s the scary part. This post was about dating and asking on the first date who they voted for. Once they catch on to this tik tok trend they will answer with lies to get into you
My daughter’s ask before the first date.
This is how I'll be making friends: "Did you still support Trump after the first 100 days?" If yes, BYEEEEEEEEEEE.
I am a brit and centrist and still don't get dates lol 🙃 😅 sad 😞 but true
I'd ask before the date. I'm not wasting a bit of makeup on some maga clown.
Good girls!!!! 💙🇺🇸
As they should! All true patriots should!
Guaranteed way to end up with a soy boy!
Love me my soy boy. Better than any alpha....
Incelsayswhatnow?
And if he voted for a candidate that believes in disenfranchising women, get up and leave!
I love all the guys who get offended by this idea. "What do you mean, my core values matter for our compatibility? Can't you just ignore my beliefs and actions and date me anyway?" Really makes it clear what they think relationships are.
It's all about the 🍆 to many but not all.
Then his “core values” come out in an argument and now the police are at the door.
Kamala Harris would've won if she didn't have a vagina. There's a great deal of excuses being thrown about for the loss but the lack of votes for Hillary and Kamala suggest they aren't supported by people with vaginas. They tend to stay home. That's what needs to change.
Start that before meeting them!
Yep! Every day. Do it, girls.
If I was young again and dating, my initial question would be, are you a Magat/KKKaren? The laughter 🤣 or phone hang-up would save us both a lot of time.
True Sister Resisters 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 www.sisterresister.shop
Think twice before answering to such disgusting questions from fake websites.
Why is it disgusting to ask where a person’s moral compass points?
For our second date, my wife took me to see a movie called The Corporation to see if our politics aligned. youtu.be/dpjypnxnS4U?...
OMG I can’t express how much girls and ladies SHOULD do this!! I tried to look past and after so much you simply realize that it does matter because what if things would ever end up like they are now. You have to KNOW..that’s your safe spot no matter what for real for real.
I’m an old girl and screened for Trumpers, as well! Wow did they get pissy when I asked!
The fact this question is a trigger is sufficient to say bye bye.
Honey, they are so pissy that they wander around in the real world and tell people like me that it’s so unfair that they can’t get a date just because they are MAGA. I stare at them, blink twice, and then slowly smile. Just in case they were about to ask me out.
Great job
Good for you!
It’s how I would do it if I had any patience for ANYBODY LOL
Not voting (without good reason such as the dog ate my ballot) should also be a deal breaker
And it better be a cute dog
💯
My Dad refused to vote. Anytime he made a political comment, I told him to STFU. He didn't vote, he can just be quiet.
🎯🎯🎯 cut off a longtime man friend this year for this exact reason
I bullied my friends in CA and NY into voting, mostly bc I knew if Trump won I would never forgive them and hate them
👏👏👏 this is how it’s done ✊
Cut off a friendly ex who just isn’t taking this moment seriously enough for my comfort. If you think it’s just a game, or nothing to worry about, you’re not someone I care to waste my time on.
This is how we resist 💚🫶✊
Cut off a new relationship for the same reason. The dude said he hadn't voted in years. "Hmmm...really. Bye bye!"
- right- any attraction goes right out the window, these things are deal breakers 🌱🌱✌️
A few years ago prior to Biden election, I'd been chatting amiably for a week with a guy I met online. Scheduled to meet for 1st time the next day...until he said he'd voted for the Felon the last time. It was like someone threw a bucket of cold water on me. Lost all feeling for the guy. So long...
Yup it has to be done 💚🌱
Which ultimately really sucks, because I’d like to find love again 🌱🌱🌱😢💕
So would I. And sometimes I feel like I'm running out of time, which saddens me. Still, I cannot/ will not be with anyone who is MAGA- associated in any way, shape, or form.
The patriarchy in general I am highly allergic too.
Exactly, I finally let go of that running out of time feeling a few yrs ago, still creeps in but then I remember how much I enjoy focusing on building my inner relationship to self - men seem to derail that, or I allow it… 🌱
I'm 71. There is longevity in my family ... But "running out of time" is not a metaphor for me. 😏
I understand- I’ll be 50 by the end of this nightmare administration, my only son is almost a teen. I can relate to it not being a metaphor anymore😔
Older women ask too. No way in hell am I going backwards at my age.
Could clarify their character for sure!
I did it before agreeing to spend any of my limited life energy going to said date
That’s a pre-date question now.
Who they voted for, whether they thought masks were a good idea during COVID, whether they believe in vaccination, masks... LGBTQ+ and immigrant rights, and whether they think it is ok to send people to concentration camps out of the country...
I'd also like to add to ask potential dates about Generative AI, particularly art. IMO that should also be a dealbreaker, particularly for girls who are artists.
100%. As an artist, I couldn't date anyone who thinks generative AI is ok. And that goes for replacing artists, writers, musicians, actors, etc... not OK. Frankly, I don't want to date anyone who lacks ethics and respect for workers as people.
Same! It's like mixing oil and water.
All that's needed is a good emulsifier.
You should know that before you say yes. If you're online dating that must be in your bio.
That’s a question to ask before you agree to the date, not across the table once you’re there 🤦♀️
First date is a good time to examine shared values to see if a relationship could possibly go anywhere.
That was before internet dating. Now you can filter out the schmucks without leaving your couch.
It’s the biggest red flag!! I don’t date much but on my dating app profile it says “if you voted for trump we have very different values and won’t be a good match”.
As an older gal,I want the youngers to speak up and not just go along and keep quiet. Don't be coerced gals!
I can't and will not date a maga guy. Period!
Hell I would ask before I even agreed to a date.
Granddaughter brought a young man to meet me. That was my first question
The answer?
Makes perfect sense -the Rightwing's goal has been to force their politics to breach the private sphere Now they reap what they've been sowing for the past 40 years can the rest of us help it if they've made THEMSELVES unattractive?! we're supposed to feel SORRY for them?
They've made themselves dangerous
Smart women!
Not just the young women, but us older women too.
Damn right!
Yep! And we know that "I'm not into politics, they all suck" means "yep, I voted for trump".
"They're all the same" is a huge red flag
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Better get it over and done with, so as not to waste time.
I 100 percent find that out before I even agree to a date.
Great strategy! THEN bring up some issues that are dealing breakers. Weed the wackos out early.
We don't ask on dates. We state in our profiles to kick rocks if you voted some stupid kinda way... they don't even get dates anymore.
Smile 😁 it's demm funny.
Echos of the Greek play Lysistrata, 411 bc.
Ask before the first date!!
Indeed. Seek respect...
I’m not even sure I’d make it to the first date. Get that nonsense out of the way before wasting any of your time.
I like your style, Randy. Efficiency is key, here😂
And safety.
Anyone that would vote for the right to rape, right to own women, needs to be slapped to the curb. There should be an App that checks their political donations and voting record.
There's never ever going to be an app that reveals anyone's voting record. In a few states, you can look up a voter's registration and see what party if any they declare.
The Tech boys could give us a likely republican index based on data collection. One of those little dials from green to red. Safe, likely rapist, baby killer, deep red republican.
Agree 💯🙏⚖️🇺🇸🌎
I'm here to tell you older women are doing the same thing and make no bones about it. We are getting hammered with the sick INCELS too!
Get the big questions out of the way early, but if you're still in college realize that a lot of people change a lot during and in the first five years after. Wait it out. No rush.
TBH I would be very sacred if the first thing a man asked me on a first date was "Who did you vote for?" ..
And you're a man?
And .. ?
Shouldn’t they ask BEFORE they agree to a date??
And remember— if it’s either “tRump,” or “I didn’t bother,” you can get up and leave. Immediately.

Asking before accepting that first date would be the way to do it.
Definitely. And if I was single and looking for a girlfriend I'd ask her the same question. Because if she voted for Trump I want no part of the 🦇💩 crazy non-logic that went into that choice. Any woman who voted for Trump is mentally compromised. 2x if they're black (also for black men). Like WTF?!?
That’s a pre-first date question. I’m not going to waste my time.
I’m not young, but this is how I do it. I get there early & get a beverage. I ask a few questions before we order food. If there’s an issue it’s easy to just leave $ for my beverage on the table & walk out without engaging further.
The first time I stood up & walked out, a guy who knew I was atheist said I “must have baggage” around religion. Nope, byeeeee! Weird, rude thing that only a closeted religious hiding under “agnostic” cover would say. It felt gross to hear that, it felt great to walk out.
Now I check & double check before meeting. No “apolitical”s, No “agnostic”s, No one who hates a genre of music. Just don’t listen to it. Saying you hate rap or hip hop is too often coded racism. No one who calls an ex “psycho”
Omg! That's what I used to do back when I was single! I didn't even wait til the first date, id always ask in the early Q&As - no point wasting anyone's time 😁
Tangentially related, at work, I am asking my outside counsel whether their firm will oppose or make a deal with Trump. I will fire whatever firm bends the knee.
Awesome!
Good, because if they are willing to bend the knee, their partners should be disbarred.
First contact should be the time to ask, no need for a face-to-face if you can avoid it
I’m not going to lie - I wouldn’t have dated my now husband if he voted for Bush. And seriously if he did - he could possibly be MAGA now.
❤️. If you’re not talking about it, you’re not paying attention.
Wait, who goes on a first date without having covered this already???
Some folks are so desperate for a puppy that they'll get into a van with Ted Bundy.
💀😂
Clearly you haven’t spent a lot of time on Grindr lol
Right? lol
As a guy, it’s the first question I’d ask before ever considering asking her out on a date.
I did same with my present husband almost 40 years ago. I did not want to get trapped in another white supremacist, man is the head, Christian patriarchy marriage. The first one was short & a bullet dodged though he exited with my life savings because he was a vindictive shit. I was well rid of him.
Rooting for you.
I ask before deciding whether to accept
Why even get to that point I’d say ask at first contact
I'm not dating any Maga men. I find out quietly 🤫
Hey @piperformissouri.bsky.social we older women ask, too! I'm now 60, started dating my guy in 2017 after he renounced his decades long membership in GOP. He & I are ACTIVE Dems in Nebraska 💙
I typically start off a conversation on the first data with "how big is it?" and "are your swimmers hungry for some grade A nookie???" Momma's clock be a ticking and we gotta be building the army for the future!!
bsky.app/profile/did:...
And please don't EVER let a man force his beliefs to become your own. The only thing worse than a maga asshole is the woman who's sticking by him adopting his views.
I just left a friend bc she started dating a maga guy. and didn't want to question his beliefs. that's questionable morals as far as I'm concerned. and she's a "pick me girl"
That's exactly the term I give them "pick me" gals, aka Pam Blondi and Tulsi Gabbard 🤮 they make me sick
I bet that's happening more than we think, but I also think women are scared to tell their husband that they're wrong too bc of prior abuse. It's sad to see
Sadly I know several women including my own Mother who let their spouses vote for them. And guess what. All red hats. I remain peacefully divorced lol
It's really sad to see fr 😞 hell yeah I remain peacefully divorced and gay so I don't have to worry about men 🤣🤣
My body and looks are a 2, but I voted for Kamala, so that makes me a solid 12!
Before I started coloring my hair, I looked like a Bubba. Bad people are uncomfortable with neon hair. I've been mediocre as long as I can remember, but I'm not addicted to alcohol and drugs and I don't have any felonies. Even looking like Jabba the Hutt, I'm still a solid 7.
I can imagine that, who wants to date a Trump voter?
Fuck that. I’m asking BEFORE the first date.
I once had a Tinder match who didn't tell me until our 3rd date that she voted for trump. And she told me AFTER we had ordered our entrees so I couldn't just walk out. So I sat there with a MAGA redhead and waited for my pan seared Halibut with a root vegetable medley and tried making small talk.
I hope your food was delicious.
Thanks on giving tips on how to dodge a bullet. With regards, a male 😉
🔥🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪💪
The second question should be about whether or not he likes animals.
This is the way!
The threat of an unwanted pregnancy, the rise in the incel/wannabe rapist podcasts, the patriarchal 'keep 'em compliant, subservient' ideal... Is why independent, educated women should just choose sanity, cuddling with their pets, hanging out w/ their girls safely inside the home they own/rent.
Jess, I wonder just what percentage of guys are MAGA? Is there any feed back on that?
If you are on any dating apps, just put it on your profile “If you voted for Trump, just scroll on by”. Then you don’t even have to talk to the mofos.
I have to admit this is a bad idea, they lie for a living. You set yourself up for danger this way!
I think it would be better to ask them in the first very short amount of communication. Let them go through the process of getting their hopes up first before pulling the moral rug out from under them. The higher their hopes, the longer the fall.
Yep, either way, I just wouldn’t want to waste my time communicating with them but that’s me.
It's a double edge sword. My wife tells me I should just hang up on telemarketers, but I just can't help myself sometimes acting like a slow to grasp things, hard of hearing older person that they might actually sell some bullshit to. Likely, most people just hang up. I like to get them excited.
Because if Trump supporters are known for their honesty and ethical dealings when it comes to women?
Or become a target.. he could say he voted blue and him and his buddies can lynch you.. (sorry to be so crude, but I wouldn’t put it past them
In my experience they will still message you to berate you for being closed minded 😅
Or send you a dick pic.
This happened to me. I was like, thanks for proving me right by going out of your way to harass women on a dating app.
I did that!
Bad people get their jollies trying to hook up with people who dislike their immorality. My profile is explicit against married people and prostitutes, but more than half of the messages I get are from married people and prostitutes.
Yeah but then you have to hear them whine about that.
I see this a *lot*. The other side quietly confesses to be conservative, not so much "Let's Go Brandon" anymore.
That’s what I do. Also if you don’t do politics. Lots of them
Ask that when he asks you on the date in the first place. Why risk wasting any time.
I mean it’s the perfect question — nobody has to waste time. But then, at this point, I’m just trying not to be fitted for red robes and a white bonnet. Dating would be like having a 3rd job.
Exactly!! Don’t waste time dating someone who voted for a rapist!
I prefer to know before a first date can be secured
Definitely. Check his social media to be sure.
That was exactly my thought. I wouldn’t be going on a date till I knew. If they lie, then pointed questions on the 1st date should out them.
I’m scared to ask you out now…
