Why do so many liberal women date conservative men

Long time lurker of this sub but thought to make this post. For preface I am a liberal guy but am bisexual. Currently in a great relationship with a guy and not interested in dating women. So this isn't a "why don't women date me" post.

So I've been pretty involved in liberal politics in my adult life. Been to plenty of protests, rallies and even worked for a democrat running for local office. Due to this my social circle is filled with like minded people including plenty of women.

Over the years it seems that every single one of my female friends has brought around a conservative boyfriend at some point. Some of them have held their views secret but all of us could tell through comments and obvious discomfort with our political views. Others have been outwardly conservative both in person and on social media.

Recently a female friend started dating a die hard MAGA guy. The type of dude who wears a MAGA hat to the grocery store. Lets just say I was shocked. This was the same girl who went to protests and was outwardly anti MAGA. I asked her and her response was "oh he's only MAGA because he cares about the economy" when his social media is filled with posts that were everything she hated.

I understand that people's views can change but it seems like a really abrupt 180. Going from "I'd never date a conservative guy" to "oh he just cares about the economy" within days.

I've done some internet lurking about it and lots of posts say its a masculinity thing. Conservative men tend to fall into traditional masculinity a lot more (financial provider, family values and such). I'm wondering if any Gen Z women can shed some light on this?

For preface I am a liberal guy but am bisexual.

"Why don't women see a guy who gets fricked in the butt by other guys as a good long-term mate?"

President Donald Trump floated the idea of a three-way meeting with the leaders of Russia and China in which the countries would agree to cut defense spending in half.

Trump, speaking to reporters in the Oval Office Thursday, suggested repeatedly that he'd seek such a deal with Presidents Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin, saying the money could be spent better elsewhere.

"One of the first meetings I want to have is with President Xi of China, President Putin of Russia," Trump said. "And I want to say, 'let's cut our military budget in half.' And we can do that. And I think we'll be able to do it."

For all the guy nomads, how do you carry your peepee pumps? The tubes are big and fairly fragile. Any tips for keeping it secure?

Bill Gates has given away over seventy BILLION dollars through his charitable foundation. Yet there's a significant chunk of people who believes he's an evil mastermind who created COVID to force everyone to get microchips injected which he can control via 4G

Yeah, rightoids are to blame for the hourly "eat the rich" circlejerk, sure.

BTW kill "journos" not in minecraft Rowling being charitable is HALF TRUE

I was considering an effort post on DRC as it's a good example of what's happening with daddies foreign policy. Can't be bothered to do an effort post today but some potential mining sites in this as it develops.

Rwanda have had a slow burning war with DRC since the 90's but the France and the US have largely kept them in check. They can quietly support their little separatist group as long as they don't try and expand the conflict beyond the eastern province they are in and they mostly ignore the war crimes. Rwanda has been using DRC resources to fuel their growth and want more.

DRC is much larger than Rwanda but it's been a failed state since the 90's and while some form of government has existed since 2005 it's limited to the West and South of the country and is very weak. Rwanda have relatively modern, for Africa, armed forces, and all the gibs they got post-genocide mean they have good infrastructure for that part of the world. Rwanda have also had the same president for 25 years who keeps "winning" with 90%+ of the vote.

When the US eyes went away the guerillas in DRC suddenly had tanks and helicopters. A couple of weeks later when no one did anything there were suddenly a whole bunch of Rwandan troops in the country and they easily took the largest city in the east. They have stated they intend to keep moving West and "liberate" the entire country.

In terms of natural resource value DRC is one of the wealthiest countries in the world. It's so profoundly undeveloped, has problematic geography and terrible security that no one has been willing to take it on.

Most of the time offers like this would be absurd but this is the type of "deal" Trump loves. Hopefully he restarts the Belgian mining practices and cuts childrens hands off.

Dramatards are by and large old and reddit obsessed so it's no surprise you haven't noticed but Instagram is an untapped dramamine. It's edgier than reddit and there's more petty fighting going on at this point.

/Pol/ posting is mainstream on normie social media now, at least if you're a Zoomer and your algorithm reflects that.

Ironically, reddit is more watered down, censored and zealous in preventing any drama or chuddery than any mainstream social media platform now. I'm not exaggerating when I say that that /pol/ shit is mainstream.

Aurora police say they detained 14 people Tuesday morning in connection with an armed home invasion, stabbing and kidnapping at an apartment complex recently embroiled in national political controversy.

The latest: A preliminary investigation suggests the crime is "100% gang activity," Aurora police Chief Todd Chamberlain said Tuesday.

There is also a "high assumption" the suspects may be linked to Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan prison gang known for human smuggling and money laundering, he said.

I like how they try to sweep "(illegal) immigrant prison gangs" under the rug with "gang activity".

Krauts have tons of illegals, but at least apartment complexes in Berlin aren't being overrun by roving gangs of illegals.

Yet.

First fight: is it a 'scam' if Black folx are the gentrifiers?

what part about this is a scam

Ghana is not the home of all people of African descent. They are taking advantage of diaspora black people's confused cultural identity to convince them to move to a poorer country with a poorer standard of living so that they can increase their population of educated foreigners (and foreign currency). Unless you believe it's an inherent good that Black people live in Africa, it doesn't make sense for diaspora black people to do this.

I think black Americans they can do what they want. I don't think they'd be making the most facts and logic decision by moving there, but still failing to see how this is a 'scam'. Unless you believe black Americans are inherently incapable of understanding what looks like a fairly straightforward arrangement.

I don't think very many African Americans will fall for this because they are "capable" of understanding the arrangement, but that has no bearing on whether or not it is a scam. This might blow your lib mind, but black people are regular humans who can be tricked into doing things outside of their best interest, and people can exploit that capacity.

I very much doubt you would similarly describe white Christians getting scammed by Russia to move to their anti-gay paradise or American Jews having to move to Israel to defend the "Jewish homeland" as being able to "do what they want." I think you would immediately understand those are scams without discussing inherent capabilities.

Second fight: do racists like it when Black people leave, or hate it when Black people get free stuff?

This has been a thing in various African countries for years. This has been a thing that racists in America inexplicably seethe over for years. I refuse to elaborate, but I'm sure /r/redscarepod will have a very even-handed and respectful discussion on the issue!

Wouldn't racists like it??

They're still mad about Rhodesia. They don't want any kind of home when it comes to black people, just servility.

You are completely beyond lost if you think American racists are anything but pro-remigration.

Why you telling me that? Tell the commenters I was responding to.

I'm speaking to you. White racists are not mad about Rhodesia's fall because it "gave a home to black people". They're mad (and this is their take not mine) that whites were violently dispossessed of their country they earned by conquest. I would charge you to find a single white racist who is opposed to blacks going back to Africa l. Listen to how silly that sounds.

The patriots love talking about sending people to gitmo. Usually also involving military tribunals and firing squads.

Mayorkas should be the first in line, send that traitor back to his homeland.

Now we gotta invade Mexico and anyone we pick up who might be involved with a cartel is going to gitmo.

I think this ties in to the EO designating the cartels as terrorists as well. You wouldn't just pick up narcos in Houston or Phoenix and dump them back in Northern Mexico to keep operating. They're part of a terrorist network now. Especially any the USSF have to kidnap in Mexico. Lol You take them straight to Guantanamo.

People arguing for a Stalin purge (even the doctors), many such examples
