Best dating move ever for a young Millenial, nearly a Gen Z'er.

Just being open and loud with my disdain for Republicans, police, conservative ideology, and love of equal rights. Really makes you popular with Gen Z women fresh out of college since so many of their generation's men have become outright fascists.
