That's not true; I'd date someone I could reasonably discuss fiscal policy about taxation with.

So maybe it's not so much they won't date you because you're conservative and more that you're openly embracing fascism....

Why is it the only time I ever hear the word "fiscal" is when a conservative is defending their entire half of the political sphere ๐Ÿ˜‚ let's all look past the human rights abuses and absurd gerrymandering/rigging of the entire democratic system and just think about the "fiscal responsibility" aspect (That, paradoxically, only ever actually seems to drive the national debt up faster when conservatives are in charge)

'fiscal conservative' = supports tax cuts for the rich because they believe in trickle-down theory, still, somehow

What could be more fiscally responsible than not paying off your debts?

PPP loan forgiveness for everyone (except the working class that's not for you you greedy bastards)

Companies=bailed, students=get fucked (fiscal responsibility ๐Ÿ˜Ž)

Hey now -- don't be reasonable, this is the internet!

[โ€“] ThatWeirdGuy1001@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's not unreasonable for a woman to tell someone who votes for people to take away her rights that she doesn't want to date them

[โ€“] Bleach7297@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Of course not. What's unreasonable is the tribalistic, us vs them attitude based on poorly applied labels that leave no room for constructive discussion.

People calling themselves "Conservatives" these days are actually reformers who are about the least conservative bunch you'll ever find. No true ~~Scotsman~~ conservative would join a death cult.

Except they still call themselves conservatives and they still keep voting for people who openly state they want to oppress women and minorities

You can't explain your way out of it the mask is off. If you identify as conservative in modern America you are undeniably supporting fascist ideologies.

Lol if people have money they can find dates easily, right wing or not.
