The hottest pickup line in singles bars today? “Hi, I’m MAGA.”
No longer is it a liability to be an out-of-the-closet Republican — it’s actually a calling card, young singles told The Post.
Comely conservatives are simply looking for a mate to MAGA with — and they’re breaking through in big, blue cities, at right-wing ragers, on targeted dating apps and at Trump rallies.
“It’s never been a better time to date as a conservative,” crowed CJ Pearson, co-chair of the GOP Youth Advisory Council, who punched back against a January New York magazine piece smearing his diverse DC inauguration party as all-white.
“Being conservative right now is the coolest it’s ever been,” added the single DC political advisor, who boasted that women want to be with a guy who’s a “provider and who they feel safe around.”
Good luck finding that in a guy “with pronouns in his bio,” he added.
“It really matters putting yourself in a place geographically” that’s going to yield the “highest chance of meeting like-minded people,” said 32-year-old Toria Brooke, a conservative commentator and reporter who lives outside Nashville, Tennessee.
Back when she worked in NYC, the guys she met mostly leaned left “unless they were in finance.”
Nashville, with its healthy share of “bigger, bearded, rugged men” — a breath of fresh air from the “yuppie, feminine” dudes proliferating in other cities — was a big draw.
She cites “patriotism” as being hot — prevalent at the fund-raisers and movie premieres at Mar-a-Lago she attends — though she’s not found lasting love, yet.
“I’ve made some great connections, but it’s just the luck of the draw.”
‘We can’t give up’
For Brooke, it’s self-defeating to soften values for the sake of a potential romance that’s doomed to fail along political divides.
“You save yourself a lot of trouble by trying to fit a square peg in a round hole,” she lamented.
