    A friend of mine went on a date Sunday night. For some reason they started talking politics. This bitch ass cry baby mommas boy walks OUT on the date, WITHOUT paying for his drinks/food. Luckily my friend only had to pay for her stuff. I’ll give you one guess what his political leanings were. These maga morons got no balls

      For your own safety you should really ask about their political ideology before meeting them. Make sure to not let them fool you either, never tell them yours first.

                  I am entirely lost.

                  Sahara is saying not to date republicans, and not to let them trick you. I’m saying the same thing.

                  If you meet someone who, presumably like you, absolutely will not say anything until you do, then the both of you should write it down on a card and reveal them at the same time.

                  Or, you should say something about building a border wall. See if they bite.

                  Or, you should take them to see the Barbie movie. See if they shift in their chair too much.

                  Like, there are solutions to this problem, and I feel like you’re just not willing to see them.

                  As a corollary, imagine you’re gay in the 1960s. You can’t tell anyone you’re gay because you’ll get beaten in an alley. But, you would still like to find other gay people. How would you do this?

              white isn’t a race it’s the social construct that means the absence of race

              Irish stopped being a race when they were accepted into whiteness by becoming police in large number

              That’s why it’s literally impossible to be racist against white people

                white isn’t a race it’s the social construct that means the absence of race

                All “races” are social constructs, there are no biological races for our species and the way we define social races isn’t even uniform across different cultures.

                means the absence of race

                And that is actually a profoundly racist statement that roots many portions of white supremacist ideology.

                why it’s literally impossible to be racist against white people

                While it’s quite easy to argue that white people are in no danger of becoming ethnically prosecuted in most of western society, your statement that it’s impossible to be racist against white people is got a built in logic contradiction and is therefore invalid by nature. Even without the contradiction, all it takes to take down a blanket statement like that is finding a counter-example, and that’s so trivial I could find historical examples in less than five minutes.

            Oh I hate to break it to you, many people of color are very conservative, and some are also maga supporters.

            The real advice is don’t date people from known conservative places, go to liberal cities where you can at least know they are more-likely-than-not, to be at least left-of-center, and possibly a leftist.

        Man you’d think. Some ppl just use politics to hide shitty behavior. Polis don’t mean shit. See how friendly and helpful they are to strangers. Ppl thank can’t offer anything.

          It’s not the end-all-be-all for filtering out assholes, but nobody was suggesting it was. Most of the remaining filters are done before or during dates
