However, those who do lean conservative want help finding love within their party. Alexis Winters, the corresponding secretary for the New York Young Republican Club, says since Trump’s election, it’s become easier for young people to openly identify as conservative or Republican. And yet, many right-leaning singles in New York say it’s tough to find like-minded partners in a city with a largely liberal dating pool. That gap has led to the emergence of conservative-led dating spaces like the Make America Hot Again dating event founded by influencer Raquel Debono, which seeks to bring together young, urban conservatives. Events like these—and dating apps like Date Right Stuff, now with about 400K downloads—reflect a broader trend: the desire for connecting only with partners who have the same political opinions.
