Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

You could go as far as to call them...
.... Deplorable?
An understatement
It's funny, aside from sexual preference this is the only barrier to entry for me with dating.
I'll be on dating app, see a really pretty girl with a profile talking about how much they love God with that conservative tag.
It's like all thought of sex is instantly abolished.
I've even had this happen with a gay dude. Talking on Discord and suddenly he just blindsides me with QAnon talking points about child trafficking.
It sounds like " QAnon talking points about child trafficking" would be horrible, so not a good topic for conversation anyway?
New band name! Called it.
Deal breakers:
Back when I used dating apps I'd see some women say "swipe the direction of your political affiliation!". Swiping right was to show interest, left was to indicate disinterest.
I very quickly and happily followed their suggestion
It's like that old episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm, where Larry finally gets with the dream girl (the one his wife gave him a "free pass" for if he could somehow manage to woo her).. and she invites him into her room... and on her bedside table is a framed photo of Dubya.
I don't know, I've encountered christian women who believed in the whole "loophole"-thing, so they only did anal and oral because they were "saving themselves" for marriage. That's obviously batshit crazy, but as a 22-year old single dude it was pretty hot. I wouldn't complain today(20 years later) either.
The old poophole loophole.
It's the sex that God can't see
I love that song!
When I was dating, my test for Christian women was that I said I wouldn't go to church with their family on Christmas. The crazy true believers would act like I was talking about strangling grandma. The sane ones would just be confused about why anyone would invite me to church. It was a super interesting and very reliable dichotomy.
