Just dumped a guy for being a Trump Supporter...

[kerry-is-my-prez]

I did not realize he was a Trumpster. Guess you need to find out who someone is politically before getting involved in the first place…

[50 Shades Of Blue]

1. Yeah, that would be a deal breaker for me!

[bucolic_frolic]

2. Dumped?

That could mean a lot of things.

[WarGamer]

3. yeah that's a deal breaker.

I won't let politics ruin relationships with friends or family BUT...

How could one make a life partner/spouse out of someone you disagree with vehemently.

[TSExile]

13. Exactly.

Just the thought of kissing or going to bed with a man who supports the RAPIST...

[Sky Jewels]

38. It's not really just politics, it's

basic human values.

[barbtries]

43. that is so true.

just what does matter to these people? I think it's primarily racism, but there must be a big dose of xenophobia, misogyny, and various other hates driving that person. I mean the question of abortion rights alone should have everybody voting for the Democrats. sigh.

[OAITW r.2.0]

52. Perhaps the Fascist Tri-Fecta. One Party, One Religion, One Reality.

[speak easy]

63. One leader!

[Blue Owl]

4. Thank you!

[kerry-is-my-prez]

9. Since he was a "good Catholic" I told him Trump is satanic.

Sells and autographs Bibles, says he is “The Chosen One” he said he was going to unfollow Trump at least! He couldn’t take my hectoring him either. Guess some men can’t handle strong outspoken women!

[TSExile]

16. Of course they can't handle strong, outspoken women!!

Why else would the Grand Old Patriarchy try to regulate us??? ♀️♀️♀️♀️♀️

[Katcat]

19. You're better off

Without him because truthfully he sounds like a pain.

[soldierant]

21. And that's another deal breaker.

[barbtries]

44. well yeah.

they're willing to vote for the man who thinks it's okay to legislate your body! does he recognize that women are human beings? trump's only policy is trump, can he defend that?

[iscooterliberally]

83. Prey to Jesus, vote for Barabbas. It's the new Catholicism I suppose.

I'm glad you found out right away and not later on. It really is a cult. Some of my Catholic family members have fallen into it too. It seems they would be better informed if the electricity went out and never came back on.

[kimbutgar]

5. It would be a relationship ender for me also

My first husband who was a major a hole I suspect is a orange maggot supporter. Glad I divorced him years ago and married a liberal like me 35 years ago. My sister in law is married to a cult member and she is very brave in my opinion!

Don’t worry there are more fish in the sea to pick from!

6. I hear ya.. I dumped a friend of 20 years in 2021 because

he Revealed himself to be on TSF's side of a "stolen eleciton".

Such a hypocrite, too.. always talking about Jesus and wearing a cross.. and too blatantly Ignorant to know he's in a cult of Liars.

[NanaCat]

22. People who believe lies

Tend to be suckers for liars. And most religions sell a big pack of lies.

[mwb970]

77. * All religions, by definition

[kch22]

81. Disagree. nt

[geardaddy]

86. I know TSF refers to Tr*mp, but what does it stand for?

[The Polack MSgt]

92. Malaise coined (or at least introduced to DU) the phrase "The Slob Father"

Because he a disgusting slob with the mentality of a low life mob boss. Although IMHO he's to dumb to be a boss

[geardaddy]

101. Excellent!

Thanks!

[Cha]

95. It refers to "That Sick Fuck" that Pres Biden

was reported to have called him in a Meeting.

For some reason it stuck with me and some others on this board!

[geardaddy]

100. Thanks!

[viva la]

7. In retrospect--

Did you see any red flags?

I met a very nice lady at a school event, and then she said something about how she hoped the school took out those kitty litter boxes in the restrooms for the kids who "identified as cats".

If she hadn't said that, I wouldn't have guessed. I made some quick excuse and slid off.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

10. Just that he was Catholic.

I also go to a Catholic Church but I don’t agree with them on everything , abortion, etc

[viva la]

31. anti-vaccination is another red-flag issue

Actually, no matter who they voted for, I'd probably steer clear of anti-vaxxers.

[Wonder Why]

12. Identified as cats? They had to be Trump supporters because cats are evil. If she said dogs, I would have been offended.

[soldierant]

23. Cats may be evil i the minds of Magats.

But that's the only way.

[NanaCat]

25. Dogs are the evil ones

When you're the best furry friend of the likes of Hitler and Putin, as dogs have been and are...

That's evil.

You sure you want to keep telling that disgusting lie about cats?

[lonely bird]

42. Nah, dogs aren't evil

Owners sure can be.

[wnylib]

35. My cat would punish you with love bombs for saying that.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

54. Haven't you ever heard the saying that herding Democrats are like herding cats?

Cats are all definitely Democrats. They would give any Trumpsters the middle finger!

[Marcuse]

82. So dogs are trumpsters? Interesting hypothesis.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

84. Kudos for the cartoon!

I’ve always been a fan of the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers and Fat Freddy’s cat!

[RobinA]

94. I'm Pretty Sure

dogs can't be bothered to vote. Their needs are simple, they are easy to please, so why venture to the voting booth when everything is well under control.

[Marcuse]

98. Good point. Like a cultist, a dog will cede its autonomy and follow a human dictator into the gravel pit.

RIP Cricket.

[Think. Again.]

8. It's insidious how much...

...rightwingers can look and act like real people.

What was that movie? THEY LIVE!....

https://m.

[SupportSanity]

32. "They Live" Great movie.

But you need the special glasses to be able to see the aliens for what they really are: Imposters. And they're trying to take over the human race.

And all the subliminals everywhere seen only wth the special glasses:

OBEY

STAY ASLEEP

BUY

DO NOT QUESTION AUTHORITY

WATCH T.V.

NO IMAGINATION

CONFORM

CONSUME

NO THOUGHT

SLEEP

(On paper money) THIS IS YOUR GOD

MARRY AND REPRODUCE

[barbtries]

45. is the movie any good?

i never watched it but that seemed sort of relevant.

[Think. Again.]

49. It's a good movie, not high budget, not too serious...

...but it does seem to tackle the situation of having a portion of our population (even though in the film they are space aliens) who are decietful, manipulative, out for themselves only, and extremely dangerous to the positive way of life that true Americans have worked so hard to achieve, and are still working to keep.

[Warpy]

51. I remember the first part of that movie

and was completely blown away by a combination of an old sci fi story about "The Fascinators," bug eyed monsters from another planet who were feeding on humanity while keeping them docile with subliminal messaging and a fake world and Vance {aclard''s
Tje Hidden Persuaders." I strapped myself in for a wild ride.

Alas, it quickly devolved into a violent gungasm and I have no idea who won because at that point, I no longer cared, just rewound the tape and returned it by its due date. Le sigh, le heavy sigh.

It was just as disempowering as "The Matrix" was a few years later.

[hlthe2b]

11. I can deal with collleagues/social friends who are--as long as no politics are discussed. But date one?

Marry one? No damned way.

[Trust_Reality]

68. Yeah, that's pretty much where I am. (FYI: I'm a male.)

[orangecrush]

14. Saved yourself

A lot of grief.

[Shellback Squid]

15. what gave him away?, bumper sticker? wanted u barefoot and pregnant, toilet roll positioned under roll?

drooling over guns, migrant hater, brown people hater, short ....?

[NBachers]

17. OH NO - Don't tell me you cancel cultured him!!1!

[GB_RN]

18. Yeah, That's A Hard No.

Before I quit giving a shit and was still trying to date, my profiles specifically said don’t even bother to message me if you’re a tRump supporter. I had dated someone who was even leftier than I, and that caused friction (I wasn’t far enough left. And I’m pretty liberal, so that’s saying something). Not gonna even bother with a Reichwinger.

[Aristus]

87. I had a girlfriend dump me once for not being liberal enough.

I was shocked.

Me?

Not liberal enough?

I didn't think that was possible.

[captain queeg]

20. My ex has a RW live in boyfriend.

I don’t know how much friction they have. Mostly they just don’t talk politics. Also he’s not a trumper though pretty typical RW in most ways. I don’t see how they manage.

[mopinko]

24. i had a 4 yr affair w a 'married' trumpkin.

started in 15 when the whole idea of that sick fuck in our house was a joke.
broke up for a yr in the middle of that, cuz i fell in love w a wonderful man. but he got dx’d w als and wouldnt let me bring him home to chgo w me.
honestly, unlike most of them he rly is a good man. he collects coats, makes care packages, and when it gets below zero, he goes out after midnight looking for homeless to help.
he’s a burner and always volunteered at burns. swears he never got laid at a burn. 🙄. tho he was there for the drugs.
also a die hard catholic, tho he was a sinner from every angle.

and frankly, we didnt talk much, if u get my drift. and oddly when we did talk about politics, we agree on most things. he’s a disillusioned old hippie.

we loved each other very much. in fact we got back together for a minute last yr. even tho the breakup was brutal. it’s wasnt his politics that made me dump him, it was the part where he’s a coward. i’d sooner abide a liar than a coward. not that i’ve ever found 1 that wasnt both.
and trust me, magats r the biggest cowards out there.

good luck doing better.
and dont feel too bad. i just got catfished by a scammer i found on xitter. shoulda googled the phone # the minute he gave it to me. but when u want to believe…

[TomSlick]

26. Good call.

The guy is either nuts, a fascist, a racist, a misogynist - or all of the above. None of these is a good foundation for a relationship.

I can't imagine a relationship with a MAGAt.

[littlemissmartypants]

27. I ghosted one. He was great in every way but that and it was a bridge too far.

Well done, Sister! ❤️

[Rizen]

28. I say right on my dating profile I'm only dating Democrats.

It's sad how little I see people with any political affiliation at all.

[Hekate]

29. I'm afraid that is the case these days. There is just no "tolerant middle" in the GOP any more.

[NanaCat]

33. A uni pal invited me to her family reunion

I'd never been to one, and the concept sounded...interesting, in a scary way. So we go to the party at her grandmother's house, and meet the tribe.

Her grandmother had rather bad arthritis, and was sitting in one of those lift (?)chairs that still look like a recliner. Had pockets on the sides. I noticed them after one of my friend's cousins brought in her new beau, and he started praising reagan the traitor. Grans asked one time if he was saying what she thought he was. He smirked and said, 'yes, ma'am, he's the greatest president ever.'

Granny might have had arthritis, but she reached down to the side of her lift chair and pulled out a sawed off shotgun faster than the Waco Kid.

'I don't tolerate stupid or trash in my house, and you're both. Get out. And, you, Missy, are welcome to the same if you follow that cad.'

He ran. The idiot cousin cried a bit, but stayed. She didn't get any sympathy for bringing a 'G-D republican' into her grandmother's house, when everyone knew that the woman had been a die-hard liberal Democrat since at least FDR.

[NBachers]

47. Your post is worth reading twice! If there was a Post of the Week feature, I'd nominate it!

[DoBW]

34. bleach blond, bad built, butch body?

anyways, stick with sane people

[SarahD]

36. I'm holding back because they're out there.

Some men are pretty skillful at not revealing much about themselves at first. A couple guys acted friendly and nice, asked me about my work, education, hobbies, etc. but never volunteered any details about themselves. I'm pretty sure it was because they were right wingers. Now there are things I used to do that I avoid. I used to do some trap shooting but there are too many men who think I'm a gun humper just because I shoot at clay targets. Our society in general seems more heavily populated by people, particularly men, who have extreme beliefs and opinions. And I seem to attract them like flies to shit, and I don't know why. I am not great looking and I don't wear spandex. It's just the zeitgeist I suppose.

[DFW]

39. I'm so glad I retired from dating in 1974.

I met my wife, a politically like-minded northern European, fifty years ago at the tender age of 22.

My first and future reaction was W. O. W.! I was quite convinced I'd never find another one like her, and didn't feel like trying. Deal breakers for us were always right-wingers, religious extremists and people who drove as fast as they possibly could (and here in Germany, that's legal out on many parts of the Autobahn network). If you drive fast enough to endanger yourself, that means you're driving fast enough to endanger others, and that crossed her social worker's line.

If I ever lost her, first of all, I'd be like a rainbow trout stuck in the middle of the Gobi Desert. Besides, no woman that I was attracted to ever gave me a second look, anyway. My wife was the big exception because she was nearsighted, and we met in a dark place

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

40. it's a dating barrier for most people

[barbtries]

41. yeah.

my days of dating are long since over, but if i was looking for love these days that would be one of the very first things i would want to know about someone. i cannot imagine falling for someone who resides in a separate, propaganda fueled reality from myself. hope you hadn't invested too much in the relationship.

this sub is full of stories of people who found out too late that they'd fallen for a person who is Qanon. Not to mention the families being destroyed and long time marriages falling apart. right wing propaganda is killing our country.

ETA forgot to add the link! https://www.reddit.com/r/QAnonCasualties/

[Warpy]

46. There are things I really don't want to know about other people

Religion and politics head the list. Keeping my illusions intact is a lot better than knowing the awful truth.

That probably wouldn't apply were I still auditioning people for intimate partners. I'd kinda want to know then, as pie eyed belief in any sort of cult, personality and/or religious, would make it hard for such a person to deal with my deep cynicism.

[D23MIURG23]

48. I cut ties with some really old friends over that.

I tried to make it work, but ultimately I couldn't listen to the spout bullshit endlessly. Trump did nothing wrong, and Jan. 6 was "not much rowdier than a frat party", but somehow Hunter Biden was a threat to our country.

Good fucking riddance.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

50. He's back - claiming he no longer likes Trump.

After I had read off a litany of facts, he researched it and said I had been right! That’s two men I’ve caused to change their politics (my old BF) and one female friend. The Trump sells and autographs Bibles and held a Bible upside down outside of the church really gets to those Catholics and probably other religious people.

[TSExile]

53. Don't trust him!!!

Be careful!!!

[kerry-is-my-prez]

57. Maybe I should go out and troll for some more Repub. men!

I could help get more people to vote Dem! Repub men are easily turned, I guess.

[SomedayKindaLove]

64. Either that or they are good liars

But if this is a skill you have…do you live in a swing state?

[kerry-is-my-prez]

69. Florida. It used to be a swing state...

[Trust_Reality]

71. And from me too, be careful.

OK, so he no longer "likes" Trump. What about Trump's values. I know a lot of people who didn't like Trump (2016+), but they liked his policies.

I say, move on.

[marble falls]

102. Sounds like something Trumpster might try. If he can change his beliefs so easily, how shallow is he?

[OAITW r.2.0]

55. Yeah. my politics and music were problematic, especially at the end.

9 years invested....but I had to return in ME. and she would not leave her job in MA. Director of Medical Records for a major HCP.

[getagrip_already]

56. Would I be evil if I used them for meaningless sex?

Not that I'm in a position to do this, or have a body to be able to attract someone for this, but just supposing, if a magat woman were interested in me for sex, based on hormones, or mental immaturity, or just abject poor judgement, would I be wrong to use her knowing she was an ignorant, stupid, mind slut?

I mean really, all I would be doing was getting sexual and maybe a sick mind satisfaction on a lesser species for a short time. Of course, it would be a consensual relationship. A stupid one, but no force, intimidation, or drug influence involved.

Never going to happen because I'm not a sick twisted fuck who would take advantage of someone, just asking a hypothetical.

And then would hypothetically jumping off a building be bad?

[kerry-is-my-prez]

58. If you want to get to a Repub woman, tell her you're rich and want

To marry her - but she needs to rethink her politics in order to do that….

[getagrip_already]

60. doubt it would work.....

She would lose all her friends at the club, or the bowling alley, depending on the income level. Women don't like losing friends, even for money, and certainly not for love.

They will try to find a way to play it both ways. But if forced to choose, they will take the money in the short term and run back to their friends at the first chance (never having really left them). Sound old fashioned? Not really. Just what I've seen.

In any case, it wouldn't lead to sex. Which is the only thing I would see in one unless there was really a chance to swing them to liberal thinking.

Shallow? Me? Yeah. I admit it. I found love once. I have a loving family. It's sex I'm missing. ;0

Luckily, there are probably a lot of liberal ladies I can talk to when and if I'm ready. I don't need magat trash. It was just a hypothetical.

[Doodley]

59. What an awful shock. How long did it take to find out?

[kerry-is-my-prez]

61. 2 dates.....

[RussBLib]

67. well, at least you didn't ... you know....

...Right? I mean, if you did, that'd be ok, of course. I'm all in favor of premarital whoopee, but best to find out before, as you say, you get involved....and knowing nothing more than what you'd said, I'd say you did the right thing.

https://russblib.blogspot.com

[kerry-is-my-prez]

70. Nope... thank god!

[Martin68]

62. Definitely a dealbreaker.

It's disappointing when an otherwise pleasant-looking person who is easy to talk to turns out to be one of them.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

72. He was a doctor who was doing pro bono work so I figured he was a good guy.

Drs do usually end up being Repubs a lot unless they are Psychitrists.

[Martin68]

89. They hate affordable health care.

[Xipe Totec]

65. You have chosen.... wisely

[Rachel M at 6 pm]

66. I recently "dumped" my oldest friend

We were friends for 32 years. I knew he had turned MAGA in 2016 but I thought he was smart enough to eventually acknowledge reality

Instead he got worse, and when I'd finally had enough it was because he was alternating between trolling me with bullshit, and turning into a whiny snowflake when I called him on his bullshit

My only regret is that I didn't do it years ago. Good riddance to that clown

[Trust_Reality]

73. In 2016, one of my few cousins, and my only male cousin said he was ashamed of me

for not "voting conservative". He was pretty sure his sons and their spouses were all going to be Trump voters. He was quite proud of that. I assured him Trump was a con man, and we have never spoken since. I wish I had asked him what the hell made him think he had any right to be ashamed of me. But he is religious, so... you know. Trump (and religion in my cousin's case) are such a cancer in our society. Most of my relatives are right wing religious creatures.

I am SO grateful for my wife. We have grown side-by-side from being one of them about 50 years ago to the kind of people most Democrats are. And we shed religion many years ago.

As a bonus, my wife of 56 years (this month) is a pancreatic cancer (stage II) survivor.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

90. In my family, almost all the uncles and aunts were Repub

Almost all the kids turned out to be liberals….

[anamnua]

74. Who knows?

If you stayed with him you could have converted him.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

91. That's what I did with my ex. He was outraged when he read

One of my books - “Bushes Brain.” It also helped when I had MSNBC playing 24/7.

[FHRRK]

75. I hope you took a hot shower and used a bar of Lava soap to clean his stench off. nt

[mwb970]

76. I would not want a relationship with a trump cultist.

It's an absolute deal breaker. Anyone who likes trump fails to meet my standard of humanity.

[PCIntern]

78. Anyone else recall "Sheila Levine is Dead and Living in New York"?

Her roommate is dating this “perfect” guy: handsome, rich, loving, kind, and one day she comes home and the friend says that she dumped the guy.

Why, Sheila asks.

Because he voted for NIXON.

[samnsara]

79. when my dtr met, and eventually married her significant other, the first thing

..I asked was if he was a trumper. NO!!! Hes Scottish from Aberdeen ..where trump has his golf course. OH GAWD do they hate him there. He even got his citizenship last year so he could vote.

[amuse bouche]

80. Good for you.

No sense in waisting precious time on morons

[wiggs]

85. Good for you. Liking TSF is just a symptom of other things that are wrong about a person. Generally.

Don't know your guy, but what was the reason he gave for supporting TSF?

That's been one of the shocks of the last 7 years, is that seemingly normal people -- even friendly or nice people we've known for a while -- have some hidden reason for adulating a small, limited, sociopathic, selfish toddler as leader of the free world. it is a litmus test of some sort.
