‘Date a Dem’ speed dating event in NYC sabotaged by ‘unhinged’ Trump supporter

A Trump supporter sabotaged a Manhattan dating event for Democrats by buying a bunch of tickets, then no-showing — leaving love-seeking lefties out of luck.

The facilitator of Date a Dem Speed Dating got a phone call from a blocked number shortly before the event — held at The Rose on West 25th Street in Chelsea on Sept. 18, the same day as Trump’s rally on Long Island — was set to begin.

“The gist of what was said by this individual was ‘F your snowflake event, we’re not coming, we’re all at the Trump rally,'” organizer Amber Soletti of Single and The City told The Post.

The saboteur bought several male tickets, so the ratios were skewed, making mingling awkward, explained attendee Keith Burgun.

“When I got there it was just me, one other guy and about 10 women,” he said.

The hopeful singles were “stunned at the situation,” said attendee Denisha McPherson, 38, a project manager from Brooklyn.

“We kind of shook our heads and said, ‘How polarized are we that someone would do something this unhinged,'” she said.

Organizers scrambled to pivot from the original format, which was for singles to go on multiple three to five-minute dates.

“So we all just sat in a circle and basically had a little discussion … things about what people’s experiences were dating and what they’re looking for,” explained Burgun, 42, a game developer who lives in Westchester.

Could be nobody was interested in participating in this event and the guy just didn’t want to admit it.

[Openurmind]

Brilliant, should have been crowd sourced and many more purchased.

They event still got his money. That’s like buying a bunch of Taylor Swift mech just to destroy it in protest. She still gets paid.

“…for singles to go on multiple three to five-minute dates.”

“How much do you hate Trump?”
“I hate him with a burning white hot passion! How much do YOU hate Trump?”
“Ten times more. How much do you enjoy murdering babies?”
“I LOVE killing babies, especially when contractions have started.”
“Me, too! I get a thrill up my leg when their brains are sucked out.”
“Ooohhh, I’m so turned on by you. Should we get a room?”
“I’m down. Let’s go!”

Does this mean all leftist babes are easy?

I thought everyone learned that in the 60s and 70s.

I saw the headline and started reading - was sure this was from the Bee until I checked.

[Cowgirl of Justice]

Ugh.

Years ago, we were house hunting and my realtor called me about a cute house in a great neighborhood. I went for a drive by - LOVED the house. When I drove past it, I saw there was a ‘Clinton for President’ sign in the neighbor’s front yard.

Didn’t even look at it any further and let the realtor know why.

There are 3-4 Harris /Walz signs in my neighborhood now but no Trump signs. Personally, I don’t want my house vandalized which only happens by those with TDS.

That just shows what hypocrites demonrats truly are.

[No name given]

Which just shows the double standards of the lefties.

[sauropod]

Earth girls are easy.

[sauropod]

Heh.

[Farmerbob]

‘How polarized are we that someone would do something this unhinged,’”

Unhinged would have been giving the tickets to a dozen hungry bears.

[struggle]

≥It could easily have been one of the guys who wanted to increase his odds of getting lucky

Jokes on him, all those women are transgender

[T.B. Yoits]

“Date a Dem”? - more like “Date a Disease”.

[Steven Tyler]

Do not accept their “story”
The dim soy boys could not be bothered to show up.
All the hot women were at the President Trump rally

[MayflowerMadam]

The house would have demons. Good choice to move on.

[T.B. Yoits]

I don't believe this story at all.

If it was true, this wouldn't have been the first place or time someone would have pulled a stunt like this.

Attendees don't "buy tickets" to such an event. They sign up for it online and have message traffic going back and forth. One account would have been a dead giveaway.

I suspect that either someone doesn't like the organizer, or someone sabotaged it because they didn't want their favorite watering hole to be infested with whackadoos. Blaming it on Trump supporters is just too easy.

[txeagle]

That, coincidentally, is the same ratio of those who showered and shaved prior to arrival.

Boo-frikking-hoo. Your dating event didn't work out because of an "unhinged" conservative.

Unhinged? They don't know what that word means, apparently.

I spent eight hours yesterday at my town's Octoberfest manning the booth for our Republican Town Committee. Most of the day, we had four people, but at times, had as many as eight. Usually half of us males.

In my deepest of blue states, we had surprisingly good support from people and got far, far more traffic and interaction than the Democrats tent which was physically locate as far apart from ours as could be, all the way at the other end of the Main Street. It was better than last year, but last year turned out pretty well too, so this was encouraging. Men, women, young people, old people, all races, black, hispanic, Asian. I talked for a half hour with one guy who came over from the Soviet Union in 1989.

He said that he was alarmed at what he sees coming from Democrats in this country, because it was what he saw in the Soviet Union when he lived there. I told him that when I heard things like that coming from people like him, I listened, because those people know of what they speak. He said his son was a radical Leftist, and we agreed it was because his son had never had to live under real tyranny.

Overall, it was a great day.

But we did have four people who directly interacted with us negatively, and one, aged probably forty or fifty, who we were about to call the cops on. He became unhinged, and began yelling the "F" word, spittle coming from his lips, his face red, and his eyes bugging out.

The interaction was mostly between a him and an elderly, yet pugnacious gentleman who had stopped to chat with us and ask questions.

I was doing something else and had my back turned so I didn't see the guy walk up, but was told he just came up and began yelling.

The President of our organization had told us if someone began acting like that, to have one of us call the cops, and the others to begin recording the interaction with our camera.

Neither one happened in this case, but it made me think, because I am the last person to pull out my phone to record anything. There are some people who do that reflexively, but I don't. (I think there is a whole generation of people who have never seen an event with their own eyes. They are looking at reality through their phone...if the phone ever died, I always suspect they would simply freeze in place until it worked again)

We did have one guy who came over and began staring at us, and he made my guard go right up. He had a vague resemblance to the "Private Pyle" character in the movie "Full Metal Jacket" played by Vincent D'Onofrio

Finally, I asked him if if wanted to sign up for our free raffle, and he stared at me, mumbled something incoherent, and shuffled away after staring at us for another 15 seconds or so.

I turned to another one of the guys with me and he said he had been keeping an eye on him too, he was definitely giving off the signs of someone dangerous.

We had an elderly woman come over who told us (earnestly) "You shouldn't be allowed to have that flag there, it scares the children!"

We all looked at her in puzzlement, thinking she was talking about the large American flag we had at the front of the booth, and when someone said "What, they are scared by the American flag?" she said she was referring to the large Trump flag hung across the back of our booth.

I had a young woman (perhaps mid-late twenties) approach our booth and stare at us, and the conversation went something like this:

ME: Hi! Would you like to sign up for our free raffle?

DEMOCRAT GIRL: No. I wouldn't support that. Trump is a criminal and a felon.

ME: Okay. Then I guess you came over to talk? Let's talk.

DEMOCRAT GIRL: Trump lies all the time.

ME: Can you name a specific example?

DEMOCRAT GIRL: He says Haitians are eating dogs and cats in Ohio. I am from there, and that is a lie. It isn't happening.

ME: Oh really? When was the last time you were there.

DEMOCRAT GIRL: About a year ago.

ME: MmmmHmm. (disbelieving) Well, let me ask you a question about lying. When Kamala Harris was put in charge of the border by Biden a while back, and now says she was never in charge of the border, was she lying back then, or is she lying right now about the important issue of millions of criminal illegal aliens entering our country unvetted?

DEMOCRAT GIRL: All I can say is you are going to lose and we are going to win.

Then she turned and walked away.

This "news" story is all bullspit. The most likely scenario is that the coordinator had no responses and is covering it up by blaming "Trump supporters".

Hahahahahahahahaha! Reminds me of that old joke:

The Pope took a couple of days off to visit the rugged mountains of Alaska for some sightseeing. He was cruising along the campground in the PopeMobile when there was a frantic commotion just at the edge of the woods.

A helpless Democrat, wearing sandals, shorts, a ‘Save the Whales’ hat and a ‘To Hell with Trump’ T-shirt, was screaming while struggling frantically and thrashing around trying to free himself from the grasp of a 10-foot grizzly.

As the Pope watched in horror, a group of Republican loggers came racing up. One quickly fired a 44 magnum into the bear’s chest. The other two reached up and pulled the bleeding, semiconscious Democrat from the bear’s grasp. Then using long clubs, the three loggers finished off the bear and two of them threw it onto the bed of their truck while the other tenderly placed the injured Democrat in the back seat.

As they prepared to leave, the Pope summoned them to come over. ‘I give you my blessing for your brave actions!’ he told them. ‘I heard there was a bitter hatred between Republican loggers and Democratic environmental activists but now I’ve seen with my own eyes that this is not true.’

As the Pope drove off, one logger asked his buddies ‘Who was that guy?’

‘It was the Pope,’ another replied. ‘He’s in direct contact with Heaven and has access to all wisdom.

‘Well,’ the logger said, ‘he may have access to all wisdom but he doesn’t know squat about bear hunting! By the way, is the bait still alive, or do we need to go back to Oregon and get another one?’
