31. So all of a sudden, there's something wrong with wanting to date people who share one's values?

My dating days have been over for decades (47 years of monogamous marriage here), but I seem to recall being advised that it was a good idea to seek out people who share one's basic values as dating and potential relationship prospects. That still makes sense to me, and it also makes sense to me that most women who are smart enough to get into an ivy league school would also be too smart to want to hang out with someone who supports the biggest liar and most corrupt criminal shitweasel to ever taint the oval office with his presence.

As for job discrimination, anyone who displays their political orientation at any point during the hiring process is displaying very bad judgment (because WHO DOES THAT?) and probably should rethink a lot of their life choices.
