Shut it down

By Anonymous - 03/02/2025 20:00 - United States - Portland

Today, I went on a date with someone I met on a dating site. We hit it off, until he noticed the MAGA sticker on the back of my phone. He excused himself to go to the bathroom and never came back. I had to pay for both meals and explain to the waiter why I was practically crying into my bowl of noodles. FML

To those of us who didn’t vote for him, Trump is modern-day Hitler. Either dial back the Trump love or find a fellow Trump supporter because the rest of us don’t wto be bothered with MAGA

As much as I hate to let politics interfere with my personal life and relationships, Trump kind of made that inevitable, with what a terrible person he and his most fanatical supporters are. I feel like it says something about someone, as a person, that someone can spread hate, lies, and engage in as much corruption as he does, and they'd support him. And January 6 was really the nail in the coffin of decency, as far as supporting him. But your date should have paid for his meal. That would have been the decent thing to do...sort of tempted to ask if you do value decency, though. ...sorry, couldn't help it.

this guy deserves no respect at all. What a coward!

And yet people voted for him to be President. Twice.

It figures that a person who is triggered by MAGA is the type who would take a free meal and slide out the back door, leaving someone else to pay for their sustenance.

The evidence of your poor judgment told him all he needed to know about you.

Why would you buy MAGA merchandise, Americans are huge fanatics, we’d never do that in England. Who you support might be your dealbreaker, but dial back the merch. It’s tacky and in bad taste.

Yes, I've noticed how the UK has no market for their royal family or trinkets related to tourism.

You deserved it. To a rational and compassionate human being you are undateable.

Well, there's some good news for you - There's been a freakin' deluge of articles over the past basically-decade-now about MAGA dudes out there who essentially have the same problem in their dating lives as you! Surely, from such a wide variety of potential candidates, you'll have no trouble finding someone who will be a compassionate, attentive, interesting, pleasant, and non-tumultuous partner to be in your life. ...Right? Surely, there must be. Unless... Well, unless there were some sort of inherent philosophy or outlook on life that makes vast swaths of these sorts of guys incompatible with healthy, supportive, stable relationships?

Moodles? As they noodles with milk, or noodles with beef?

I broke off a wedding engagement after learning she voted for Trump. Total deal-breaker. She deserved it, and so did you.
