My Date Turned Out to Be a “Patriot” Riding the “Red Wave”
Well, what can I say? I’ve been single for a few years and put myself out there again. This time I met a nice and witty guy on Tinder. We hit it off, which is rare these days for me, and had dinner at a nice little Italian place.
Everything went well until I found out he’s a gay conservative who considers himself a patriot. He also told me he’s hoping to help bring about the “red wave”. I can only image what that means.
My friends suggested I continue seeing him as I’ve been single for a few years now. I pushed back that if our values are totally different that it would never work. And it wouldn’t. I rather be alone than sacrifice my values and morals that are paramount to who I am.
I’m just really frustrated that everyone else in their 30s seems to be married or in a long-term relationship and I’m over here celibate for 4 years. Some friends think I’m being picky but is it so much to ask that someone has similar values to mine than the polar opposite?

If this is a real occurrence, OP, and not an EST, then I don't know how you even made it through dinner. All seriousness, I would have left. Intellectually, I hate that I would have left but I know me, and I would've. I just can't deal with conservatives, not these days. I can't imagine being intimate with someone who supported Trump.

My first partner was republican. I'm liberal.
But it was a different time. We were both moderates, which helped too. In fact, we didn't have one issue RE our political differences in the seven years we were together. We shared the same "life" values, just different political values.
Now? I just couldn't do it. Especially if they used words like "patriot".

Maybe you should talk to him and fess up, OP. He might be into a FWB thing so long as you don't talk politics, but that will fail because conservatives can't stop talking about their politics for 15 seconds (unless like R16 suggests), so there you have it.

R22 Agreed, though the prospect of him being well adjusted is slim, especially post-Trump, the Jan 6th insurrection, etc.
There are mild mannered, well-meaning conservatives. I think they happen to be quite scarce in the US.however.
That said, I like to keep an open mind. A conservative who is a moderate as well as an independent certainly would have a chance with me, if I were looking for a partner. Society seems to have strangely devolved that so many feel one has to agree on every hot button topic or opinion. People can still find common ground, disagree on things, and still respect one another. I'm over all of the "you're my instant enemy now that you disagree with x...It's very limited and limiting. Republican is a hard sell nonetheless.

It’s the same reality with family. I can only call my mom occasionally because you could be taking about the most obscure subject, yet somehow it comes back to Trump or medical conspiracies. It’s not simply having conservative political ideals and agreeing to disagree, it’s that they can’t help ranting about it and it consumes their being. So I really don’t think you can just agree to disagree, because you are dealing with a political cult member.

If it is more than sex, drop him. Republicants these days are a different breed: more extreme and not reality based. This will have a short shelf life unless you share his political views. Dissent is not an option. Still unconvinced? Ask him about January 6th, MTG, or Cucker Tarlson. His response will be very instructive.

R57 I'm not defending the right wingers who stormed the Capitol. But, really they were doing what they thought was patriotic. They were being led by people who knew better, but I'm sure 90% or more of the actual participants, really thought they weren't trying to cause a coup but to prevent one and to uphold the Constitution. If you really believed with all your heart and soul that the government bureaucracy, the media, and foreign governments colluded to thwart an election and the will of the people, storming the Capitol makes sense as an extremely patriotic thing to do.
Of course, it wasn't true. They were led down the garden path by liars and grifters. And, now they have to pay the consequences.

I briefly dated a republican guy last year -he could be very thoughtful and charming; and he was quite sexy. There were other red flags that kept me at a slow walk; basically since I fulfilled his specific physical ideal he was much too quick to want it to be serious — but ultimately it was his constant bringing up of politics that made me end it. He knew from the beginning I was a liberal; I was very clear about my beliefs — but he was simply unable to go more than a few hours without complaining about “the left” in some roundabout way.

There is no reward to giving up who your are to be with someone who doesn't believe the same things you do. To think otherwise is the height of stupidity and will ensure a miserable life.

I think it shakes out about even. Single or partnered. Best to experience both for long stretches of time in ones life. Just being one or the other doesn't give much perspective.

The OP may be found decomposing and half-eaten by his dozen cats but his high moral standards will be intact.

A quote from "Broadcast news" which applies to OP: "Wouldn't this be a great world if insecurity and desperation made us more attractive? If needy were a turn-on?"

R69 is hilariously false. Every conservative I know over 50 (and they're all over 50, at least the ones I know) have adult children who don't speak to them. Most of them are divorced, too!

Who says you have to give up who you are? Your looking for a partner not a twin.

It's bizarre how stridently relationship-oriented Datalounge is these days. "You're worthless without a man -- give everything up for LOVE or else you'll die ALONE -- HORRORS!!!!"
Like, who the fuck are you people?

[quote]Patriot has taken on an ugly meaning. It now stands for someone who wants to throw out the Constitution and establish a militant, fascist theocracy a la Gilead.
Where can I sign up to be a handmaid if this happens?

You can obsess over your 'Reductio ad Absurdum' obsession, R129, but the OP tells us that the man is "a nice and witty guy".

Anyone can be “nice and witty” in casual conversation or as an acquaintance but still have views and values that make them unsuitable for a deeper friendship or a relationship.
It level of simplistic thinking (and/or inane trolling) in this thread is astounding.

[quote] But, really they were doing what they thought was patriotic.
When the Nazis invaded Poland, they thought the same thing. When they stuffed Jews (and gays) into concentration camps, ‘they really thought what they were doing was patriotic!’
Extremists ALWAYS think what they’re is ‘the right thing.’ The fact that this guy brings up politics at EVERY OCCASION is a serious sign that he doesn’t respect anyone else’s views, even on the most basic ‘agree to disagree’ principle which helps keep society civil.
It’s one thing to agree not to discuss politics, but another entirely to spend an entire relationship biting your tongue as the other person harangues you with the latest Fox New talking points (also known as lies!).

I’m sure the cats will make for better company.

I have no issue with people who have different politics. I would have an issue with someone willing to put themselves in harm's way to oppose the government. My personal life is complicated enough.

R134 Are you the OP?
You said he was 'nice and witty' two days ago now you're seething with hatred at his boorishness.
Is this imaginary man your own sock-puppet?

No, I’m not, and don’t understand where you’d get that idea. I loathe the MAGAt crowd and would advise anyone to steer clear of them. Don’t give up your day job for private investigating; you suck at it.

OP here! I have good news. He ended up ghosting me and unmatching with me on tinder.
The only time I’ve ever been happy to be ghosted.

He was 'nice and witty' two weeks ago. And now he's a pariah.
