Following the topic yesterday, a new solution!

https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-dating-site-for-those-who-cant-get-laid-because-of-their-love-of-trump

Die-hard Trump supporter Christy Edwards Lawton was at a Manhattan party last year when she noticed a beautiful woman across the room.

The woman, who had stunning good looks, according to Lawton, seemed like someone who would have no trouble finding love. But she also had a surprising secret: she couldnt find a boyfriend in New York City because she voted for Trump.

Im a Republican, the woman whispered to Lawton, she recalled. They dont want me.

Faced with romantic despair, Lawton saw opportunity. That encounter at the partyand the now-infamous incident where a Virginia restaurant refused to serve White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sandersinspired her to start Righter, a dating network that caters to Trump supporters who have been rejected on more mainstream dating apps over their political beliefs.
Righter, which launches later this month, is meant as an amorous safe space, but only for those who back the president. If youre a liberal, Righter might actually sue you if you try to join.

I have a very nice legal team that will be handling that, Lawton said. This is zero tolerance.

***

Thats not to say Righter isnt just as eager to push culture-war buttons of its own. In one Instagram post promoting free premium account benefits for members of the military, Righter juxtaposes pictures of migrants waiting at a border wall (caption: ACCESS DENIED) with soldiers stringing barbed wire (FREE BENEFITS).

Lawtons app has some unusual rules as far as dating sites go. Men can be reported if they dont pay for the first date. Lawton also insists Righter is not a sex app, and wants users to hurry and meet up.

We are not online to have pen-pals, Lawton, a former banker who lives in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, said.

Righter users cant hide their age, and the app will be policed for photoshopped pictures added to make a would-be dater look better. Users who are caught altering their pictures will get three strikes before getting the boot from Righter entirely.

Females make themselves look different, younger, thinner, better, Lawton said. Thats not going to happen on our app.

Righter has also taken swipes at some of its competition. In one Instagram post, Righter uses a popular meme format to show Dwayne The Rock Johnson looking shocked when he learns that women must initiate conversations on Bumble, a potential Righter rival.

"On Righter, men initiate, women respond, the post reads.

Any obvious Democrats will get the boot from Righter, according to Lawton, though she conceded that it might be difficult to immediately figure out the ideology of the user in order to purge him or her. But if they did find a Trump critic on the platform, Lawton said she wouldnt rule out calling in the lawyers to get them off. Asked whether suing a would-be dater was a bit extremean anti-aphrodisiac, if you willshe insisted it wasnt.

Bring it on, Lawton said. This is ridiculous. Theyre sitting here suing our president.


Seems like a mix of things alt-right people would be all for and things they'd vehemently oppose.

I think the whole "reporting men who don't pay for the date" will kill the app.

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. There's a "draw" with the "Oh, girls can't be fake!" thing, but it seems like the Trump supporters on CE would be vehemently against a forced "guys pay" policy.

How would you even verify reports in the first place? This is basically giving women the power on their app to kick off men they don't like. Which for a right wing app is the opposite of what you would expect.

Which I bet a lawsuit will come up regarding that.

Trumpettes are usually as ugly on the outside as they are on the inside so this is unfortunate.

From the sounds of the app. It doesn't look like it's going to support homosexual matches.

I'm waiting for that inevitable moment when some woman gets on there and starts scamming these boys out of their cash before ghosting on them, because they have more money than sense. It's going to end up on the Read, and it's going to be glorious.

A Trump supporter would never get scammed with minimal effort!

Most trump supporters are incredibly cheap and stingy

Your Rain days were preparing you for this. Go catfish some Trumpers and share with the board. Put your girl impersonating skills to use for good.

On CE, sure. Outside, it can be forgiven. Hell, doing it for the forces of good could even be considered repentance.

It's doubtful, but I think if they tried to pursue such a thing it would be based on some language in their terms of service.

Then I'm going to need some pictures of someone that doesn't have a lot of pictures online to reverse image search. So just PM me some pictures of the cuties in your life that are not already online to search for

This is the... 4th Trump dating site? They usually fold after the usual scandals like using known white supremacists in their pictures or getting all their shit hacked in a week, but I have high hopes for this one because the owner is already coming out swinging with threats of lawsuits.

Their Twitter feed is a rollercoaster too, between "what's the most awkward blind date you've ever had?" and https://twitter.com/wearerighter/status/1060256069044310017?s=09
