I posted this the other day:

> I was talking to a trump voter the other day. Most probably actually an “Anybody (R)” voter. Educated, affluent, but not a serious student of politics or world affairs. Who was flabbergasted when I told them that trump intends to withdraw support for Ukraine, thereby forcing Ukraine to capitulate to Putin. They had never heard of any such intent. Never. The idea that any R was in effect a Russian stooge was simply unthinkable; R’s are patriots, not stooges. Always. No matter what and no matter…

What I did not mention there was that this was on a second or third date with a promising-seeming woman my age and general SES.

We did promptly drop all mention of politics. At my insistence. And so far that hasn’t resurfaced, but it definitely altered my perception of the range of possible end-states of our budding relationship.

So call it a soft cut-off in that certain futures are almost certainly foreclosed, baring a miracle.
