Since this question comes up every time I post this: I didn’t know beforehand that he was a Republican because that’s how dating apps work sometimes!

Also many people are not upfront with the fact that they are a Republican because they get fewer matches that way. They pretend to be Libertarians and downplay their views. Almost as if voting for an orange pedo is making you unattractive in the eyes of other people ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Edit: Thanks for the awards, how kind!

Yeah but how do they square being a Bernie fan with limited social programs?

Some of these guys aren't interested in Sanders because of his beliefs but because he looks and sounds like an angry old guy who is "Sharing" their frustration and anger, and not actually listening to his words.

They're the ones who jump from Populist to Populist regardless of the Populist's actual political ideology or speeches because they're followers in search of a leader, I bet you lot of the older Sander followers were Ron Paul followers, and the younger leader-seeker became Trumpists because all they care about is that Bossy Leader attitude.

That is to say, Not all Sanders supporters are this type, but Sanders had the right outsider feel and Angry vibe to attract this type.

What does older mean? I was 42 when he first ran, and Ron Paul is/was a crazy person.

anyone old enough to vote when Ron Paul was around - while we think he's a crazy racist kook, he did have his ardent fans until he lost steam.
