This week, Interstates & Heartbreak gets political with activist and congressional campaigner Patrick Malkoun. We discuss how the modern political climate has seeped into our dating lives, including renewed dating criteria around political involvement and ideals, first date discussions around formerly taboo topics, and how love languages translate to community engagement. Patrick’s exposure to politically divided households on the campaign trail leads us to contemplate when and how couples with opposing views can move forward – and when ideological differences become a dealbreaker. In the midst of our heavier topics, Patrick provides a comeback for unwanted ass-grabbing, we debate the validity of chicken tenders as an entreé, and I reveal Patrick’s involvement in what went down as the worst date of my life.
