Pretty bad article, but a couple interesting points that we all probably know already. Since it’s a liberal woman, it’s new to her I guess.
I told him that I was born in Russia and was a writer. He showed me a list he’d written of his favourite desserts in the city. It was a sober hobby he’d started during the pandemic, going to restaurants by himself, sampling sweets. He made a lot of lists, he said, most of them food-related. I asked what other kinds he made.
“Lists of lies liberal white women tell about Donald Trump,” he replied.
Suddenly, his leg was shaking. He grabbed the edges of the table and raised his voice: “White, liberal women are a plague on our society.”
He proceeded to drink 11 iced coffees.
. . .
“They say horrible things about me and make everyone hate me and think I’m a bad person,” he said. He was staring at a point in the distance, speaking like he was in some kind of trance.“What did they say about you?” I asked.
He snapped out of it. “Oh, not me,” he answered. “I meant Donald Trump.”
Over the course of a few dates, he’d make this mistake often, where he’d talk about Trump in the first person. And I came to realise that while I was trying to separate Jared from who he voted for, he may have been personally struggling to do the exact same thing, just in a very different way. It became clear to me that he truly loved Trump not just because he identified with Trump the politician but because he identified with Trump the person being considered ‘bad’ by progressive standards.
. . .
On a different week, I met up with Jake*, 36. He was on his second mezcal negroni, and I was sipping a seltzer with lime, when I asked him why his last relationship ended. “My previous girlfriend killed our child,” he said. “Like, she’s in jail now for murder?” I asked. “No, but she should be,” he explained, shooting back his drink. “She got an abortion and killed our child without asking me.” I took a deep breath and tried to listen carefully.
. . . At a chic omakase place, Matthew*, 25, from New Jersey was going off about how “we should have never let a woman be head of the Secret Service”. With each course, I fired off questions about his upbringing. He mentioned online groups where there were “others like him”, the kind where people whose radical-to-me beliefs find validation — and even more than validation, identity itself. Matthew later revealed he has a swastika tattoo.
. . .
I didn’t feel that any of the men I dated were that interested in me as a person or where I came from either. I rarely got questions like, Why are you Republican-curious? What drew you to our dating app? What are your family values? What are you looking for in a partner? What are your goals in life?
. . . On our last date, we were walking through a park when I told him we couldn’t keep seeing each other, that I disagreed with most of his beliefs and didn’t align with the future he wanted. Confused, he replied that from his point of view, we actually agreed on most things.No, I said, we didn’t, which he would know if he’d asked me any questions about myself. He still leaned in and tried to kiss me. We never saw each other again.

the article is worth it for this holy shit
This is what a steady diet of political slop on social media does to your smooth chud brain lmao
Dude got Sutter Cane’d by President McRib
This guy sounds exactly like my brother, who I figured only talks like this because he is both a white nationalist and also schizophrenic. These dudes ain’t alright.
I am begging libs to stop trying to understand CHUDs. Stop forming these one-sided friendships and stroking their egos. All you’re doing is making these entitled dickweeds feel like they actually are the big PP’d big muscled gigachads they think they are.
They just kicked your ass in both election and culture wars and you’re just taking it all with a smile? Grow a spine and stop rewarding them.
but it’s good practice for when they’ll inetivably openly ally with the chuds, when it’s time to choose between communists and fascists.
😠
this is my favorite bit on this bear shit site
bit
😔
Nah I wanna eat this bit alive while it screams “now is not the time for division”
Trying to understand chuds is a good thing, but dating them and a lot of other lib approaches to that understanding are not good.
Exactly. It’s the same story every time with these “trying tounderstand the right” articles.
I’d rather stab out my eyes with a fork before dating a conservative man 🤢🤢🤢🤢
hey now don’t be selfish, conservative men have perfectly good eyes for fork stabbing
No, no, it’s ok if you’re doing it for an article.
Matthew later revealed he has a swastika tattoo.
Pretty sure it took me multiple dates to reveal to my wife that I play TCGs and videogames competitively when we met…
This guy’s got his nazi shit out on the first date

Yeah, I was married before I told my wife that I’d been playing Pokémon Go when we met.
Hey you gotta get those deal breakers out early, otherwise you’re wasting time
"Hi, before we begin our date please look up a fighting game called ‘skullgirls’ no don’t click on fanart… please stop looking at the fanart… anyway i was top 8 in the world at that game for a bit. "
White, liberal women are a plague on our society.
It’s not like white liberal men are any better
She got an abortion and killed our child without asking me.
If I was carrying this asshole’s child I’d abort too
“He proceeded to drink 11 iced coffees.” jesus christ. i dont know if the caffeine or sugar content is more concerning here. that HAS to make you feel as awful as your politics dude
That line was so
Vibrating at a frequency nearly beyond human perception.
“Has anyone ever told you about races?”
Keeps poking you with the calipers.
Why is my coffee shaking?! I don’t want my coffee shaken!
Every one of these men should be regarded as a dangerous feral animal. What the fuck. Not to mention several of them have these fantasies about living in a cottage with a farm and a wife who feeds the donkeys and yet they’re living in Manhattan going to fancy cake restaurants while wearing nerd ass tweed jackets. It’s all just posturing and aesthetics to thinly hide how much of a horny creep they are. Several of these guys should be investigated to see if there are human remains in their homes, because I am sincerely freaked out. The guy who talks about Trump in the first person should be a psychiatric case in an Oliver Sacks book, seriously what the fuck
I hate everything about this and no one should be subject to the presence of these men more than 5 seconds.

I’m still not convinced this isn’t a quote from a satirical hitchhikers guide type story
If that article is true, those guys are assholes and monsters but
He proceeded to drink 11 iced coffees.
Is a very funny line
“White, liberal women are a plague on our society.” i scraem. I proceed to drink 11 ice coffes and turn the 4th of July into the 4th of piss
Vibrating to a higher plane of existence
he’s like a dril character
You did HWAT
Not to stray close to victim blaming rhetoric, but yeah this seems INCREDIBLY self-destructive and inadvisable.
I mean who hasn’t gone on dates with men who have sent them death threats in the past?
🥰
I’m not sure you’re getting a representative sample of conservative American men if your dating pool is limited to NYC.
they’re all the same though, they all consume the same slop and love it
He made a lot of lists
uh oh
IBM helps him keep track.
I told him that I was born in Russia
This single line explains most of the remainder of this article.
If the USSR was still around, maybe she wouldn’t be “Republican-curious”.
White liberal woman only dates conservative men…more at every hour
Neither of them are the catch they think they are. Just screw each other and leave us alone
As a brown dude I’ve always had way better relations with self identified conservative women because they virtually hold the same fundamental values as the lib women but actually force themselves to be open minded.
but actually force themselves to be open minded.
that’s hard to believe
🥰
Yikes, skin crawl, yikes.
This person basically willingly did self harm for journalism, not sure how to feel about that either.

You’re assuming they didn’t just rationalise having sex with a bunch of assholes, or that they didn’t just lie. This is cosmo.
Saw an interview with her on this a while back. I don’t think she did. Pretty big on the journalism ethics, very careful not to say any specific guy or group was a natzi unless they specifically self-identified as one, that kinda thing. Sleeping with the subjects of her reporting without disclosing it seems unlikely.
Also, it would just put her in even more danger, with some of these guys.
