Politics Is a Dealbreaker (And It Should Be)

In this episode, Chesko and Regan dig into a clip from the Modern Wisdom Podcast about men and women's differing political views in relationships, using it as a springboard to discuss how voting reflects core values and morality, the myth that ethics require religion, and why women are increasingly treating political alignment as a dealbreaker. The conversation weaves through personal stories about discovering friends' hidden bigotry, being used as someone's token minority or LGBTQ+ "reference," proximity to fame, and the predatory patterns behind large age-gap relationships which all build to the episode's central thesis that shitty behavior isn't a partisan issue. Shitty dudes exist across the political spectrum.
