I wouldn't go out with someone who supports far-right politics, that's an easy decision to make.

Good afternoon, I don't believe you are a person of equal value to myself, would you like to make me dinner sometime?

Pretty crazy to think that's literally how it worked in the past.

[–] Goldholz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 8 months ago

Other things i find crazy: barcodes didnt exist until the 70s. But supermarkets already existed in the 50s!

I mean, I get it. Someone voting for Trump indicates a set of morals I'm incompatible with. It's a quick shorthand that says a lot about a person.

Or lack thereof

Yeaaah

It's not 100 percent accurate but the easiest way to tell is by what kind of sunglasses he wears.

This joke is old and super tired...

If you can't tell someone is a piece of shit person without explicitly asking if they voted for trump...

You're gonna end up with one of the many shit people who didn't vote for him. Or just a trump supporter not stupid enough to be honest about it.

It's not that they cant tell, it's that this is an easy shortcut to check for.

It's not a shortcut...

It's a huge red flag.

But no matter how big a single red flag is, if that's the only one you look out for, you're going to miss a shit ton of other red flags.

It's like saying "I never date a convicted felon" while actively dating a drug smuggler you just saw cut someone up with a chainsaw...

I'm not saying you should start dating convicted felons, I'm saying you need to do more than that.

[–] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 18 points 8 months ago

Nobody said this is the only red flag that exists.

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It's just another one on the checklist. But the checkbox has a star next to the text. Meaning deal breaker.

Who did you vote for? XD

[–] Deathray5@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

They are not supporting Trump. They are saying the same bad traits that lead to someone voting for him leads can be measured in more reliable ways.

A trump supporter can lie much more easily about not voting for Trump than they can lie about having good values.

Similarly bad people can vote for good things. It's a good metric for quickly filtering people but it's not an automatic pass.

Though this analysis and his comment seems unnecessary for such a short meme

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 1 points 8 months ago

Lots of people pretend to be good to win the game of dating.
