I started my account roughly two months ago and since then I have received unsolicited messages from SIX different men who felt the need to tell me how ignorant I was because I did not vote for Donald Trump. I did not try to insult them for their ideas about politics, so why did they feel it was okay for them to insult me for not supporting their candidate? The best guess I have is that by rejecting Trump I somehow ultimately rejected them as well. I can usually ignore idiots on the internet and did with most of the ugly six, but two had to take their insults to a different level and I decided to show them a wee bit of my wicked side too.
Now, with that said, I will also tell you that I was not a huge Clinton fan either. But when I am presented with a highly qualified person and a TV personality with zero qualifications....I vote for the lesser of two evils. Trump has been a blowhard, morally bankrupt, womanizer with very questionable business ethics for years. His Twitter fixation, rudeness, constant river of lies...so many things... I just cannot listen to people making excuses for his actions anymore. By getting Trump out of the way in advance, I hoped to eliminate a potential obstacle from any connections or relationship possibilities. So not simple enough.
Then came the men who wanted to know if I would really let politics stand in the way of finding true love. I added the emphasis on "really" as that was how I heard it....hard to know in written form if that was how they meant it or not.... But still, as polite as these fellows were, they were ultimately implying or occasionally outright stating that I was not smart about my political views, and subsequently my love-life was eternally damned. My answer to them was always polite but with the same sentiment: When I was asked to describe what I was looking for in a man, I asked for qualities that I envisioned my ideal man would possess and I know that my ideal man could never support Trump. Most of these messages were polite exchanges.
So this brings me to today. I received a message from a nice fellow from the latter group of men. He told me about how his sister voted for Clinton and her husband voted for Trump, politics did not have to come between folks....yadda yadda....abortion bad, guns good, thinks flag burning should be against the law and such. These millennials.....first time he can ever remember people not dating because they disagree on politics. So today I had to go really simple.
Oddly enough, about a month ago I saw a piece on political affiliations and online dating sites. Polled three different dating sites and found that many people have actually decided that they didn't want to date across party lines. The reason I said what I did about Trump is because I find him a disgusting human being and a certain element that supports him are equally disgusting.....six men have sent me messages insulting me because of my Trump comment. I am not a straight party voter, but here is what I believe in: less government, abortion is a woman's choice, marijuana should be legal, churches should pay taxes, healthcare should be reformed, and racists are pigs. And people who believe "America is the greatest country in the world" have never traveled to other countries. But millennials are too concerned with kneeling NFL players......Best of luck in your search!
