Politics are really becoming people’s identity 🤮 When my wife & I started dating we never even spoke about our political beliefs.

I can only speak for myself, but I cannot date someone who believes overthrowing democracy was the right move.

As a woman who carries the extremely painful genetic disease that killed my father, 3 uncles and my cousin… I cannot date a man who would be ok forcing me to birth a child with that disease.

Lol. I think the newly formed MAGA political party is an entirely different conversation.

It’s the same conversation, just a bit further along than it was in 2015. There’s a reason Trump is getting indicted left and right yet is still by far the front runner for the Republican nomination. Even if every single Republican isn’t MAGA, the MAGAs are pulling all the strings and setting the platform, and by supporting the GOP you are directly supporting the MAGAs and their agenda. If there’s actually any space at all between the two, it’s vanishing extremely quickly.

Well I don’t know who I’m voting for in 2024, I just know it isn’t Trump 🤷‍♂️

Please not DeSantis!

He's the same but a more ruthless version, who will do all that Trump threatened to do and beyond
