Slate - A recent article
in the Washingtonian details one of the most tragic struggles of our
time: Conservatives living and dating in Washington, D.C. can’t get
laid. It should come as no surprise that liberals living next door to
the Trump administration in a district that overwhelmingly voted for
Hillary Clinton might not want to go out with their local MAGA-ite
neighbor—and yet somehow conservatives are both surprised and hurt. “A
lot of times you’ll connect with someone [on an app] and they’ll Google
you, find out you worked for Trump’s campaign, and then it’s pretty much
all downhill from there,” said one Trump administration official in the
story. So much for the tolerant left!
They are some truly amazing victim-mentality tidbits in the
piece, like the fact that a reporter at a right-wing media outlet won’t
even put his employer—who I can only assume is Breitbart or Fox News—on
his profile because the stigma of accepting a check every other week
from an institution that consistently traffics in xenophobic conspiracy
theories is too strong.
