Raw Story: 37 percent of Americans would rather date a convicted felon than a Trump supporter


http://www.rawstory.com/2016/10/37-percent-of-americans-would-rather-date-a-convicted-felon-than-a-trump-supporter/

There’s an endless cast of characters we could potentially link up with romantically, but there are certain people we don’t dare mingle with. Many Americans have recently carved out a new bottom line, and it has to do with Donald Trump.

According to a survey conducted by the online dating app Sapio, voting for Trump is becoming a bigger turn-off than most other dealbreakers out there. Out of the 2,000 people surveyed, over half said they’d rather date someone who couldn’t read than someone planning to vote for this year’s GOP candidate. Sixty-two percent would rather stick with someone still living with their parents, and another 60 percent would rather stay single for the next four years than wind up with a Trump supporter.

Turns out people prefer smokers and ex-pornstars over Trump stumpers as well.

Of the women surveyed, almost half would date someone old enough to be their dad over a Trump supporter. Men, on the other hand, weren’t so flexible with this one. Less than 30 percent of guys surveyed would date someone their mom’s age in place of dating a girl gunning for Trump.

That's the same group: Pro-Trump and can't read.

Hillary is capable of healing those wounds, Trump would only compound them and bring us closer to social conflict. In fact, it seems inherently obvious that violence will increase dramatically if Trump were to win. Hopefully Hillary wins and spends her presidency trying to heal the rifts in this country.

You know folks, when Trump sends us his supporters, he's sending the racists, misogynists, the supremacists, and some, I guess, are good people. Believe me.

We're a republic, once elected they can do pretty much what they want and republicans know it. That's why they work very, very, hard to fuck-up our only democracy, our one vote
