In Deep-Blue D.C., Conservatives Say Dating Is a Struggle

A Washington Post report describes a highly polarized scene shaped by the district's lopsided electorate.

Overview

  • Washington, D.C. gave 92.5 percent of its 2024 presidential vote to Kamala Harris, leaving conservatives a small dating pool.
  • Matchmaker Susan Trombetti describes the capital's dating climate as "political polarization on steroids."
  • Morgan Housley, 29, says she has struggled to meet men who regularly attend church and align with her expectations of traditional masculinity.
  • She recalled walking away from a promising match after learning he was not actively Christian.
  • A 27-year-old Republican staffer says she would date across ideologies but rules out anyone who thinks she is a fascist.
