    Maybe you’re idealizing the past? I was watching a Seinfeld episode from like 97 that was about Elaine liking a guy but she has to find out if he’s an anti abortion conservative before she goes further. So even in those days there was enough of a divide that people were talking about it. Go back to the 60s same thing, you weren’t gonna have left hippies dating right wing yuppies. It’s important to find a partner who is not in support of whatever the fuck conservatives think they’re doing nowadays, especially for a woman who may feel vulnerable and doesn’t wanna fall into a pit with a guy who doesn’t share her values and sees her as less than himself

      Seinfeld was a TV show and exaggeration of reality, and the protagonists were giant pieces of shit, as evident by the series finale.

      But yes, it was joking about a growing trend. A trend that has existed on some level since the dawn of time, but my point is that it’s been accelerated and amplified to a degree that hasn’t existed in the past. I know, I am from the past.
