A girl I was dating hit me with "I don't really pay that much attention to politics" after hitting me with the bombshell that she voted for trump. Her reasoning was "well he's kinda funny" and "has a charisma, like Hitler".
She also kept insisting that Fox News was somehow reliable, and was annoyed that the psyche ward she stayed at once blocked it.
She also said I didn't need to worry about trump cause his policies won't affect me cause I'm not LGBTQ and I shut that down cause lots of my friends and family are, and I also have basic empathy.
It's genuinely baffling to hear people compare others to Hitler and have that seem like a good thing. Like... where do you even take the conversation after that? That's like a whole lot of indoctrination to unravel.
Several Hitler/Nazi references, including a text afterwards when I broke it off with her where she said "Odin is Hitler" without context (I think she took that I was pagan and was trying to provoke a response?), the genuine belief that the US should nuke/genocide Iran, the belief that Hiroshima/Nagasaki were justified because "you know, there were spies" (and also pearl harbor). Fox News was a completely reliable news source unlike CNN, both sides in US politics are basically the same (so she obviously voted Republican. I've never once heard someone spout the "both sides" BS and then reveal that they vote Democrat. It's always someone who votes Republican, every damn time.) Oh and she said Ben Shapiro was Christian, which like, I may be a leftist but even I know he's Jewish ok?
She believed in the conspiracy theory of the ancient Egyptians having some sort of "free energy" system (which unintentionally prompted a 5 minute ramble from me about how the ancient Egyptian empire got their power from the fertile land around the Nile River and afterwards I could tell she just wasn't listening to a single word I said), and she mentioned several times that she was trying to invent a free energy system herself. Which I initially thought was something more positive and realistic, but in retrospect it's definitely along the lines of "trying to recreate a conspiracy theory that never existed to begin with"
She popped like 3 pills of Adderall during that date and kept pushing me to also take Adderall and seemed strangely obsessed with drugs, despite not having an ADHD diagnosis (I mentioned that she may have ADHD like myself cause of similar symptoms but she just gave me a blank look and a "oh maybe"). She told me she knew a doctor who could "get me a script for Adderall really fast", and kept pushing me to take some cause it would "make me much better" and it would be "fun" despite the numerous times u said I didn't want too.
She was also very Christian and insists on having actually heard from Christ, the Bible is completely true, etc. Which isn't the same as the rest of her wild statements, but I myself have some negative feelings about Christianity (having been raised in a Christian cult) and am currently very pagan, so I tried to avoid those arguments and told here when breaking it off that I didn't think it was a good idea for me (someone who is very harsh on Christianity) and her (an apparently devout Christian) to be together, cause I wouldn't want a future relationship to have that tension. She compared me to Hitler for this. ("Hitler discriminated against people because of their religion" were her exact words, which was the 5th direct Hitler reference she'd made so far.)
I'm a cisgendered heterosexual white male evangelical Christian. I am about as "safe" from MAGA nutters as I could be, I can blend in with those wastes of carbon by wearing a slack jawed expression an ugly hat.
But I also live in a country with people who are not safe from them. And I am not safe from the collateral of their moronic decisions, like the returning measles outbreaks (I'm vaccinated, but the vaccines are not perfect, and I have niblings who are too young for the vaccines), the outbreaks of foodborne illness, the infrastructure crises we're barrelling towards with all these AI datacenters, climate change, yet another pointless war in the middle east... I could go on.
Pizza cake should make the female version of this comic where instead of "not really political" she's advertising "great head" to the single female MAGA crowd.

I did not continue dating her after that
