2. I've been on lots of dating sites

In fact, I have a permanent free one on Match.com because I was grandfathered in when it was free in the early days of the internet. Probably says something about me that I've never had success with them. I also programmed my own and ran it for a year. It was for Childfree people. And I joined a listserv (on a lark) after Infoseeking (pre-Google) information on Latin Women for a school project and finding an email group about American men looking to marry Latin women because society, feminism, etc. had ruined American women. So while I don't want to give women a completely free ride, the majority of the crazies on dating sites are men, and these men do not take rejection well, and a vast majority of these men are conservative. Cyber-stalking and mean messages are a given on any site, but I expect the creators of these sites to be inundated with problems, and it will be interesting to see how they deal with them.

Dating Site For Trump Supporters

(They don’t care if you’re married or not)

Some reports have also noted that, once a person gets past the initial sign-up page, he or she can choose "happily married" or "unhappily married" as a status before finalizing a profile and meeting new potential dates.

A dating website promising to match pro-Trump supporters has removed the main photograph from its homepage after local media identified one of the people portrayed in the image as a North Carolina conservative activist who has a child sex conviction.

Our right wingers hate it when their straight conservative republican family values are put on display.

It was Mr. Robot.

Though there may have been some involvement from the Dark Army

6. I just noticed the Donald Daters story is a few months old

Here's the article announcing the hack

The app's founder Emily Moreno, in a later article, says that "she suspected the app had been hacked by “liberal aggressors.”"

Which I guess is why the hacker told her the data were compromised, rather than simply letting the database grow and generating a larger, more destructive breach? But Moreno has conservative victim mentality down pat.

A 2017 survey by OkCupid found that 74 percent of its users considered voting for Trump a deal breaker. That same year, a writer for the Federalist claimed that liberals’ “refusal to date conservatives is one reason we have Donald Trump,” which feels like a difficult thesis to prove.

For Moreno, this all amounts to anti-conservative discrimination, which she said has intensified under Trump. “There has been a much more vocal and robust — and at times, threatening — attack against people who support our president” than under past administrations, she said.


Kudos to Vox for the followup paragraph:

(In 2008, a black man who had volunteered on Barack Obama’s campaign was verbally harassed and physically assaulted for wearing an Obama shirt in Louisiana. Soon after Obama’s election, right-wing protesters across the country burned effigies of the first black president. Moreno said that any form of “damnation” against a president is “terrible,” but maintained that discrimination against Trump supporters is “unique” and unprecedented.)

I can't tell you how many times I've read "No trumpers" or something similar on a woman's profile.

Mine just says "If you support Trump, we won't get along, but I can recommend a good psychiatrist"

I've never been to a "dating site," but I imagine the sort of person who finds something to admire in Trump is not the sort of person any of us would want to be near in any kind of social situation. Maybe if separated by the same kind of barriers zoos use to make sure meat-eating predators can't get at the children of visitors.......
