Why Republicans can't get a date

from So This Just Happened · host Matthew Sheffield and Kali Holloway

SummaryA new poll from Change Research for Teen Vogue of young adults finds that being MAGA is absolutely loathed by a majority of people between the ages of 18 and 34. According to the survey, 76 percent of women in the age group say that discovering their date is a MAGA Republican is a “red flag” for them; 59 percent of men in the age group agreed.The survey, which is definitely worth checking out, also found that being a fan of Joe Rogan is a red flag for 55 percent of young women. And that’s because the right-wing podcaster is part of a much bigger constellation of reactionary media which is constantly denigrating and insulting women. Instead of realizing this, however, many Republicans have taken to blaming “wokeness” instead of looking inward.Despite their strong dislike of the far-right, however, young Americans are also very concerned for the future and Democrats have not convinced many of them.Timecodes00:00 — Poll finds that being a Joe Rogan fan is a dating “red flag” for most young women03:33 — Politics as source of relationship disruption13:12 — Dateless young Republican men are bearing the brunt of Gen Z's loathing of the GOP20:14 — Why creativity is inherently un-conservative24:36 — Although younger people are estranged from Republicans, they are not big fans of Democrats32:34 — Lauren Boebert’s “Beetlejuice” tantrumFollow usMatthttps://twitter.com/mattsheffieldKalihttps://twitter.com/kalihollowayftwSTJH on Twitterhttps://twitter.com/stjh_podSTJH on Apple PodcastsHelp us out by leaving a 5-star written review, even short ones are helpful!Theme songEasy Lover: “The End of Our Deceit”Lyrics and Vocal by Kali HollowayMusic by Jeremy Wimmer This is a public episode.
