Young Trump supporters in D.C. are having a hard time dating     DATE: 2024-05-25 03:11:58

Look, dating can be hard enough in the age of a million different apps. Apparently it's even worse if you live in Washington, D.C. and you support Donald Trump.

In a new story published by Politico, Daniel Lippman and Ben Schreckinger spoke to more than 30 millennials who are current or former members of the Trump White House staff about their D.C. social lives, including dating in the Era of Trump.

And it's not great!

From Politico:

One beleaguered 31-year-old female administration official described at length her "very, very frequent" scraps with her matches on dating apps. "You do the small talk thing, and you have a very good conversation, and then they might say, 'You didn’t vote for Trump, right?'" she says. "As soon as I say, 'Of course I did,' it just devolves into all-caps 'HOW COULD YOU BE SUCH A RACIST AND A BIGOT?' And 'You’re going to take away your own birth control.'"

Okay, so that's a bummer for them. But the internet doesn't seem able to muster much sympathy for the young pro-Trump crowd living in the nation's capitol, and some even invoked a few references to Trump-adjacent people in expressing their disdain.

Alas, it can be tough out there in the world where actions have consequences, both big and small.

Sad!
