I'm currently seeing a man who flat out told me that he has and will reject any Trump Supporters. I don't blame him, especially since Trump has shown himself both in character and via his policies to be anti woman. Trump's Presidency sure has been one of the most divisive I've seen in politics.
Just like looks, worldview, and personality are things we use discriminate in the dating world, it seems fair game to me.
Recent stats show that people are less to marry across ideological lines anymore. Same with income. We're clustering into homogenous mating groups. Otherwise known as assortive mating. Moreso than previous generations.
As a long time view of political punditry, I've always thought James Carville (D) and Mary Matalin (R) were pretty fascinating as a Washington power couple. Not sure what Matalin thinks of Trump or if she voted for him. Many longtime Republicans denounced Trump.
Would you date someone from your opposite political party? Why and why not?
I get that this could be viewed more appropriate in the Relationships section but given the context I think this could fit more better here. If the powers that be disagree they are free to move it.
Sure, but I've found that most liberal women are sorely lacking in the sack. Plus I appreciate women who take care of themselves, which includes shaving your pits and bush, so that excludes a large percentage of liberal women.
politics generally dont enter in when i consider dating someone. the only time i would have reservations is if the person pushes their political views above all else.
Ummm, I think we discussed this same question a couple of days ago.
But: No. It's hard enough to get along with a person that shares your world view; I wouldn't even want to try with someone who didn't. Just not worth it for either party involved.

The simple answer is if you Truly Love each other, political differences can be worked around if both find it worthy of effort, same goes for friendships. Me and my other half do not always agree politically and I have friends that are on both ends of the ideological spectrum, we are Friends, I trust them and they trust me, the basis of friendship. You can disagree but in the end most would find that we are not all that different in what we want out of life or what we want of the Nation, and in my travels it is a common theme across the globe.
I'm married to a Trump supporter whereas I was pro-Hillary. In our case, our political differences honestly didn't even arise until this past election year, in spite of being together for 8 years and married for 6.
Prior to this past election, DH took zero interest in politics and hadn't even voted before. I was the one who was fascinated by it and always had been.
My husband and I are polar opposites when it comes to almost everything. I'm indoors, he's outdoors, I read about things, he fixes things, I enjoy exotic foods, he enjoys comfort food, I'm a socialist, he's a capitalist... but somehow our marriage works.
While we used to joke that the election would drive us to a divorce, it was just that- joking.
We have a lot of differences both in our interests and ideologies, but we balance each other out in temperament... and when it comes down to it, we both want the same kind of life- a comfortable home and happy kids (which we have).
With all of that said, if I was single today, dating a Trump supporter may give me pause, but if he was willing to give me a chance knowing I was for HRC, then there's no reason why I wouldn't give someone a fair shot.
So no, it wouldn't be a huge deterrent, at least at the onset.
