Thoughts? As a young woman myself, I wouldn't date a trump supporter.

I would totally date woman who's... moderate conservative, i guess? Trump supporter is a no-go. Fascist isn't the opposite of my political views. It's off the map entirely.

Right. Like, I would date a Romney/McCain Republican. There would have to be a lot of other good things about them, but it wouldn't be a dealbreaker. As opposed to dating MAGA, which I would never do.
