I wish more people would sign in and add posts. I know that a lot of people can't access the site other than to view. However, if you can sign in and give feedback, or join in to relay news, info or insights, please do. It is presently lonely here and I really have no idea what interests people who linger to view what I read or if you left happy to have read what I have written because you can't "like" when not signed in. I don't even know if you read it or not as I rarely get feedback. So please, come join if you are able. Thanks for the views. For the moment I will use them as a reason to keep on keeping on.
Back to the topic. As you might have noticed, I do not like LOSER45. People like tRUMP in the US and Pierre Poilievre in Canada want authoritarian powers, not a better country. They make nothing great. They have a huge following of the worst people imaginable, and offer a future of bigotry and toxicity. I don't want to be a part of it and I don't want people who DO want that to be a part of my life either.
This article from Daily Kos, written by a community member as a critique of a ridiculous WaPo story on the topic... is really well done so I will spare you my poor writing for the most part. A taste:
I was still dating before tRUMP began his campaign. Reading about him triggered me, as I have had enough toxic men in my life to last a lifetime. It reminded me that I had to add that to my profile, even though I am Canadian. "If you like tRUMP, I doubt you will like me or I you." Happily, it stopped the MAGA minded men from reading beyond that and made dating a breeze! I recommend it.
But if you want a man who loads up his truck with flags and political signs, talks about FreeDUMB and being a gun loving patriot... who won't wear a mask or vaccinate... AND who would join an insurrection and die for tRUMP, there is a "pureblood" dating site app for you. BONUS FEATURES: they will also take your money for supplements, Ivermectin, Medbeds and more...

Just Keep On Keeping On.
I enjoyed the DK critique, especially the comments, but had not yet looked at the WaPo opinion piece. It was worse than I had imagined. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/11/22/marriage-polarization-dating-trump/ Fortunately, the comments there were a far better read than the piece itself.
I also learned there that the "source" of the article was a NeoCONservative "think tank." DOUBLE WTFS!
A far better read and opinion piece for men would be one I read a few months ago.
Men are lost. Here’s a map out of the wilderness.

Sadly the boys of today do feel lost and are grasping at strawmen. UGH
