“Love Is Blind” is a reality TV show in which hopeful singles date other hopeful singles without seeing each other. But there's a twist – the expectation that when they finally meet each other, they will get married within a few weeks.
This season we had a slightly unexpected turn when the two couples parted ways at the altar on political views.
“I wasn't really caught up in politics, or I wasn't interested until Trump took office and George Floyd took office,” Sarah, one of the contestants, spoke of her love interest, Ben, while they were still dating from behind the wall.
A highly religious Ben told Sarah he was “ignorant of such things,” but Sarah later discovered that his church had more “traditional” values, and that Ben himself had different opinions about black life issues and symbiotic vaccines.

“I don't blame her for raising it. If that's what's important to her, I think it's really important that she raised it, and I think he's a co-sick.” Ally Beth Stucky of “relevant” comments. “'I really don't care,' to me, it's conservatively coded. He will probably tilt to the right. ”
“It's something conservatives do, or at least there are people who do that when they don't want to piss off others,” Stucky says. “As a man, I know you're thinking, 'I can fix her.' And that's possible. I absolutely believe that the best thing to happen to a liberal girl is to marry a conservative guy and move right. That's good for her, but I would never want that from a conservative guy. ”
Ben was not the only “love blind” who realized he had been dumped on the altar due to his political views.
Devon asked his fiancé he met in the show's “Pods.”
“I think I make decisions out of my faith. You know what I mean, so that might be a different view of how conservative Republicans feel about it,” said his fiancee, Virginia. “I think people should have abortion rights.
When the pair met at the altar, Virginia cited his views as a reason to abandon him.
“These girls are very ignorant,” commented Stucky. “They are just absorbing left-wing toxic empathy propaganda aimed at women who tell them to be good, compassionate people. You have to be for progressive causes. And as a Christian, she believes she can support the so-called abortion rights. This is just a legal ability to dismantle a baby in the womb.”
“These two positions cannot be completely reconciled,” she adds.
