Today's experience on the dating site...

[BlancheSplanchnik]

I just had an unexpected, brief conversation with a Qanoner. 😵. Apparently I’m a left wing Marxist. 🙄.

Needless to say, he wasn’t interested in any further convo. ...I don’t know what we’d have said, anyway.

1. You should have offered to baby sit his children

haha

[happybird]

3. Lol!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

4. Haa!

Really, the polarization is real! He had a lot to say about his beliefs, and I was definitely labeled.

[Celerity]

15. 100 quid says he could not have remotely come close to defining what an actual Marxist is, let alone

delineate how the US Democratic Party of 2020 in any way fits into that template.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

17. I would tend to agree!

[Celerity]

19. the imprinting on far RW types is deep, scientifically done, and decades long in duration

It is almost impossible to disentangle them from it unless you isolate them from most further inputs for several years and place them in an environment where their previously held beliefs are subject to debunking, ridicule/shunning, and positive reinforcement on a holistic and constant basis.

21. Have you ever seen the movie, "The Brainwashing of My Dad"?

It tells a powerful story of one family but it comports with your remarks.

[Celerity]

24. oh, wow, no, so going to watch that!!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

25. Cool!

[Celerity]

14. roflmaoooooooooooooooooooo

[happybird]

2. Oh my goodness 😂

I’ve been considering signing up to a dating site and never even thought of Qanoners roaming around on there. Yikes!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

5. Our interests all matched up, too, but he said Adios

Before any conversation could happen.

6. Don't worry about it. I had a similar experience with a...

person as we discussed covid. I said it would be a while before a vaccine was perfected. She told me she wouldn't take it ever as she's an anti-vaxxer.

I ask, "You wouldn't take it if it was developed and safe?"

She said no and that she had to go. I never heard from her again, and thank God.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

9. Wow. Yeah, I had another one

Who turned out to believe in Chem Trails.

[brush]

12. Yeah, that's just about as crazy. There are many nutjobs out there.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

13. Tonight must be the night for it.

Just got christian for trump. Oy vey.

[Celerity]

20. they probably have this hanging on their wall

[BlancheSplanchnik]

22. PUKE!!!

[Klaralven]

7. So much for swiping right....

[BlancheSplanchnik]

10. Lol!

[JesterCS]

8. Dating sites are a joke these days

I live in SW Ohio and all you see is. "country" women who are for trump, or drug addicts looking for money. I gave up trying lol

[BlancheSplanchnik]

11. I hear you...

But it’s the only game in town, and I actually know quite a few folks who met that way!

[shanti]

16. One of my sons met a woman

on Plenty of Fish. They are engaged and just closed on a house. Bonus: I like her! Online dating is brutal, but it does work for a small number of people. It's really just a numbers game.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

18. Exactly!

I’ve been at it a long time...my number has gotta come up soon!

[Blue_true]

23. Consider yourself lucky that he wasn't interested. No need to talk to a definite loser. nt

[BlancheSplanchnik]

26. Seriously!

I can’t imagine believing that crap.
He claimed that the “jury was still out” on whether he believed the Qanons...yet clearly he HAS decided where he stands.

Who needs that garbage, right?

[Blue_true]

27. If out of the gate he type casted you, imagine what he does to woman that

do make a mistake and get involved with him. People like that need to exert control, at some point early on, they show that tendency.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

28. Yes, people generally show hints early on

It’s a skill to spot those red flags.

[Blue_true]

29. "Skill" was an excellent choice of a word. Too many people lack that skill and end up in

toxic relationships.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

30. That used to be me.

I had to learn and practice saying NO to red flags.
