A conservative dating a liberal?
I don't THINK so! There's no way that initial conversation they had regarding their polar opposite political affiliations would have ended with Lindsay staring lovingly into Edward's eyes and then kissing him. That exchange would have been a massive deal-breaker--at least in Trump's 2018 America. Today that conversation would go something like: "Oh, you're a Trump supporter? I...have to go. I cut my foot before and my shoe is filling up with blood!"
