We are living in strange times.

Interesting results. I wonder if geographic location plays a factor in those percentages. Anecdotally speaking, I would be shocked if it didn’t swing the other way in the south. Now, granted, I’m basing this on my own circle of acquaintances and friends (easily 75% Republican) and those are the ones who are most vocal about the “democraps” and “demonrats” and such so I would think they wouldn’t be interested in dating a staunchly democratic partner. Like I said, though….purely anecdotal and I may be surprised by actual numbers. I maintain friendships with staunch Trump supporters mainly by just not discussing politics. My best friend is a Trump supporter and we every once in a great while will have a political discussion but we always do so from a place of respect for the other person and their beliefs. To me that is what it boils down to. Sparky and I are very politically similar. Would I or have I dated someone from an opposing political party sure. I still would if Sparky weren’t around because it is about the person, not the politics, but I might hesitate to get serious, depending on just how firm they were in their beliefs. That would be a case by case thing for me but just outright turn down a date? I probably would not if I liked the guy and that was the only thing that gave me pause.
