I have never done a longer engagement than 3 hours with a provider. So I dont give a flying FUCK what their political view point is. All I care about is the time we are spending together in that moment. If our converstation ever headed towards politics.... i would change the subject.
I also have only seen about 3 providers multiple times. We have never brought up politics. Again.... WHY? Why not talk about what has been going on with each other, likes, dislikes, current movies, sports, foods, concerts, travel, new adventures, future adventures, places you would like to visit, if you win the lotto what would you do with the winnings, etc. Then the FUCKING and playing around.
Now I can see politics possibly coming up if you do over nights or have 4+ hour dates. BUT then plan other things.... plan activites, concerts, golf, shooting ranges, plays, movies, theme parks, museums, sporting activities or games, sporting events, etc. Things where politics are not brought up.
I am also the one that can be friends with people with other political view point than mine... I dont care. It is their view i just want people to have an informed view. Not just follow blindly. I like to challenge them to think. I have family that have very opposite views than mine. We get along great. I see them daily. Actually most of my family doesn't have the same views as me. It doesn't bother me at all.
